Accessibility
There are no age restrictions in terms of rules, but the reality of the tours may mean though that small children and the elderly may find some of our walking tours a little arduous. The duration and terrain of the tours should therefore be taken into account before booking in addition to the capabilities of participants. Parents of small children should also be aware that stories surrounding the persecution of Christians by the ancient Romans may be upsetting. If you have any concerns please contact us with specifics and we will be able to offer more tailored advice.
Unfortunately we are not yet able to offer tours in sign language but we are happy to work with interpreters and offer concessions to facilitate the participation of everyone on our tours.
Yes, all of our tours suitable for children, although parents should bear in mind (1) several of our tours go deep underground into 1st century excavations where it can be cold, damp and claustrophobic; (2) the duration of some tours is 3 hours and involves walking so the attention span of the children may be an issue; and (3) stories of certain martyrdoms are not for the faint-hearted. We hope in the future to develop some fun tours focused on children so watch this space!
Rome is full of cobbled streets and poorly maintained roads and are not very wheelchair friendly. Furthermore, some of our tours take in 1st century excavations deep underground and some off-the-beaten-track churches and other locations that are not wheelchair accessible. Tours of major places of interest, such as St Peter’s, St Mary Major, St Paul’s and the Cathedral are wheelchair accessible. However, as a precaution, please let us know in advance so that we can plan and advise accordingly.
