TOP DESTINATIONS IN SCOTLAND
What to see
Scotland has many destinations that are worth a visit. Besides the gorgeous nature, some cities will leave you with a wonderful impression.
Edinburgh is not only the capital of Scotland but also a leading festival city for the world, home to phenomenal summer festivals, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city offers many medieval houses, narrow alleys in the Old Town and the sweeping elegance of Georgian New Town. There is no doubt that Edinburgh deserves its reputation as one of the most impressive and enchanting cities in the world. Other than that, Edinburgh offers a special range of events, fantastic shopping, world-class dining, a fantastic bar and cafe culture, a diverse art scene, spas to relax, and beautiful green areas to unwind. A holiday to Edinburgh is pure enjoyment.
Another wonderful city to visit in wheelchair accessible Scotland is Glasgow. It is, without a doubt, one of the most exciting cities you will ever experience. Scotland’s largest city is a lively, vibrant place, distinguished and full of character. Perhaps one of the best things to do in Glasgow is simply looking around and enjoying the many different styles of architecture. Besides that, it is hard to resist the allure of the many, many shops in Glasgow. Other than London, it is the top shopping destination in the UK.
About Scotland
Scotland is an extraordinary place where you discover gorgeous nature, interesting history, wonderful people, and so much more!
Towering mountains, glittering lochs, thick forests, and mile after mile of golden beaches. the Scottish landscapes are truly breathtaking. The landscape in Scotland is generally divided into three areas: the Southern Uplands, the Central Lowlands or Midland Valley, and the Scottish Highlands. The mountains of the Southern Uplands are rounder and not as high as the mountains of northern Scotland. In the southwest, you find the Galloway Hills where mountains such as the Merrick, the Criffel, and the Cairnsmore stand out prominently. Galloway also has forests, moors, and a rugged coastline.
January and February are generally the coldest months in Scotland when temperatures fluctuate between 5 and 7 degrees Celcius. July and August are normally the warmest months in Scotland, with an average temperature of around 19 degrees Celcius. An old Scottish saying says, “Bad weather does not exist, just the wrong clothes!” But if it rains, you find enough galleries and museums where you can spend a day.
The official language that dominates in Scotland is a form of Standard English, also known as Standard Scots. Scottish English is a strong, locally different dialect. An obvious difference with Standard English is how the “r” rolls.
Scotland has its version of the British pound, the Scottish Pound. Moreover, one Scottish pound is equal to one British pound. In Scotland, you pay with cash, your debit card, or credit card. The big shops and many restaurants accept debit cards. So you do not need to carry large amounts of cash with you. Almost all shops and especially the larger supermarkets, petrol stations, and hotels accept the most common credit cards (Visa and Mastercard).

9 Accessible Places to Visit in Scotland
Scotland is a stunning country, with a wealth of natural beauty and cultural attractions to explore. With the COVID-19 crisis having cast an unfavourable shadow over travelling overseas, the northern nation is also the ideal choice for a low-cost, hassle-free holiday.
The best news? Scotland is filled to the brim with accessible adventures for the mobility impaired, making it one of the most disabled-friendly destinations in the UK. Here, we take a look at some of the best wheelchair accessible attractions in Scotland, along with some essential travel information. If you need to hire mobility equipment when you get there, Strive Mobility has everything you need for a stress-free stay.
How to Get There
There are plenty of direct flights to Scotland from major southern cities such as London, Birmingham, and Cardiff. Domestic flights to Scotland usually take around an hour.
We know flying with a disability can be difficult, so you’ll be happy to hear there is also a range of high-speed, wheelchair-accessible trains to Scotland from most major cities in Britain. The fastest services run up the East Coast, with the high-speed link from London King’s Cross to Edinburgh Waverly taking just four to six hours. There are also slower sleeper trains that travel overnight, allowing you to wake up at your destination without wasting a moment. The Caledonian Sleeper features dedicated passenger assistance and onboard hosts for disabled guests.
Driving to Scotland is also possible from any location in Britain, with the M1 and A1 motorways offering the most direct route from London. This can get you to Edinburgh in as little as seven hours, depending on traffic and stopping time. You could also take the M6 up the west coast which runs from Birmingham via Manchester and Liverpool.

With a fantastic location in a recently regenerated part of the city, the Riverside Museum is easy to get to. It has dedicated parking, while disabled visitors can be dropped off outside the front door. The nearest train station is the Patrick Interchange, located 0.6 miles from the museum, and there is also a bus stop 150m away, with line 100 taking you direct to the city centre.

Visitors can tour the beautifully preserved rooms, designed by prominent architects and craftsmen of the time, including the library, drawing room, and armoury. There are also vast landscaped gardens to enjoy, which are sensational on a summer’s day.
The estate can be reached within an hour from Edinburgh by car, and is close to the town of Melrose.

Visitors can take a peek at the Crown jewels, check out the war museum, or simply bask in the brilliance of the medieval grand hall.
Dominating the skyline in the heart of the capital, Edinburgh Castle isn’t too hard to find. Limited parking is available for blue badge holders, which are booked on a first-come, first-serve basis.

- Description
- Image Gallery
Famed the world over for its incredible scenery, colourful culture and traditional warm welcomes, Scotland is one of the planet’s most unique and attractive destinations.
There are loads of reasons to visit north of the border, whether you’re looking for a peaceful rural escape, a stylish city break or a fun-packed family holiday.
Lovers of the great outdoors will be in their element. Scotland boasts Britain’s tallest mountains, over 30,000 glittering lochs, sprawling mystical woodlands, myriad windswept isles and miles upon miles of golden beaches.
It’s also a giant natural playground where you can enjoy thrilling accessible activities like river rafting, lake sailing, and rambling trips along disabled-friendly paths – not to mention over 550 golf courses.
There are plenty of varied accessible attractions dotted around the country too – from the ancient Callanish Standing Stones on the Outer Hebrides, to the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum in Ayr , and the Scottish Seabird Centre in East Lothian .
City life is no less captivating. Glasgow and Edinburgh house numerous first-rate museums and galleries, with the former also affording some of the best shopping outside London. The capital, meanwhile, excels as a cultural hub, drawing millions to illustrious festivals like the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo , the Jazz and Blues Festival and the Edinburgh Fringe.
In addition both cities offer a wide range of disabled-friendly sights and experiences. Sample a “wee dram” of Scotland’s national drink at the Scotch Whiskey Experience, uncover Glasgow’s fascinating maritime past at the Riverside Museum, and explore Edinburgh’s iconic volcano-topping castle.
Accessible and unforgettable, Scotland is waiting for you.

Infinite Scotland
Accessible tours
Finding accessible tours that suit all of your friends and family shouldn’t be difficult. Yet somehow this often seems to be the case. Not with us!
If you have a registered disability or problems with mobility, this probably doesn’t stop you living a perfectly normal life with some adjustments.
Short-sighted? You probably wear glasses.
Slower on your feet than you used to be? You probably give yourself more time and enjoy the gentler pace.
It’s the same with our accessible tours. We speak to you when we are designing them, so we can work out exactly how you will see and experience the best of Scotland, just the same as anyone else.
Remember, it’s all about you. It’s an infinite Scotland – you can create your own infinite Scotland too!
Before we meet
We want to make contacting us as simple as possible, whether you prefer short written messages, long discussions in writing, or a friendly voice on the phone.
We can even chat via WhatsApp video link if it reassures you to see the smiling face you are dealing with!
Contact us online, via email, phone, social media or WhatsApp to chat more.
Discussing your requirements
Everyone has different requirements, and the best way for us to understand your specific needs are to find out what these are, and what they mean for you on a day to day basis .
We do this at the same time as discussing what you want to see and do in Scotland, so that rather than feeling that your accessibility needs are driving the itinerary, or that we are forcing a tour to fit in with your requirements, instead we are building a fabulous tour, from scratch, especially for you .
This is just what we do for everyone!
We know that you will be doing your own research too.
Good places to start are:
- Euan’s Guide – Now recognised as a worldwide resource for accessible travel, we are proud that Euan’s Guide was founded right in the heart of Scotland’s capital city, Edinburgh. It contains listings for multiple venues and accommodation around the country, as well as visitors’ own reviews.
- Individual visitor attraction, restaurant or accommodation websites – many of these have their own access statement or accessibility guide online, in a simple format, making it easy to compare across multiple sites.
- Us! We visit multiple attractions, activity and accommodation providers every year. We are always spotting where they shine in their provision for those who have specific needs, and also where there could be improvements. Ask us ! And if we don’t know, we will find out – whether that is through a phone call to the location, or to one of our friends in the industry, or simply visiting again ourselves.
We know that these are often the best ways to check whether a location is accessible to you or not. The majority of online accessibility guides for individual visitor attractions, restaurants, cafes or accommodation (as above) include photos.
But if they don’t, please ask us . We have a huge back-catalogue of photos, but even if the location in question doesn’t feature, we will still do our best to get photos for you.
During your tour
Customer care.
All of our guides have disability awareness training and will be on hand, during the stated guiding hours, to ensure that you receive the best possible experience during your tour.
Should there be any issues during your tour that your guide or the third party provider (visitor attraction, restaurant, café or accommodation provider) is not able to resolve, please contact us as soon as you can.
Communication
Tours are delivered verbally by Infinite Scotland guides in the English language .
All guides will be happy to wear microphones or other audio-enhancers if arranged with you in advance.
Additionally some visitor attractions may offer their own written and hand-held visual guides, as well as tours in other languages including British Sign Language, to assist with accessible tours.
Getting to us
If you are on a driving tour with us, we will collect you directly from your arrival transport hub, whether this is at an airport, train or bus station; or directly from your accommodation.
We will be in the same vehicle as we will use for the rest of the tour (see below), unless otherwise discussed with you in advance.
If you are joining us on a walking tour , for example of Edinburgh, we will give clear directions to the starting point (which may even be your accommodation!) as well as recommendations for accessible transport to that point, whether using public transport (buses or trams) or a private taxi hire.
Getting around
If you are on a driving tour with us, we will discuss your requirements in advance and will reserve a vehicle specific to your needs, whether this includes a ramp, extra space for a wheelchair, or anything else. We will send and agree all details of the vehicle with you in advance.
If you are on a walking tour with us, we will discuss your requirements in advance to understand any particular restrictions or needs. From this, we will fully research and adapt the route so that you gain maximum enjoyment without having to worry about specific access requirements along the way.
To be clear, walking tours are also accessible to those in wheelchairs or other walking aids, although power-assisted wheelchairs are recommended for cities such as Edinburgh, or outdoor nature trails, which may include a few hills or slightly uneven surfaces.
Accommodation
Infinite Scotland does not book accommodation on your behalf. We do give recommendations depending on the tour itinerary, and we will liaise with accommodation providers after you have reserved your accommodation to discuss their provisions in relation to your specific accessibility requirements.
However, we recommend that you check the online accessibility guides provided by the accommodation providers on their own websites, as well as contacting them directly, to discuss your accessibility requirements with them prior to booking.
Attractions
Many of Scotland’s key visitor attractions, whether castles, distilleries or even battlefields, are accessible to all visitors with some adaptations, be they level access, ramps, lifts/elevators, hearing loops, visual aids or special opening hours.
However it is recognised that a number of our attractions are, by their very nature, historic and in some cases it is difficult to make adaptations to historic fabric or building materials.
By discussing your accessibility requirements in advance, we aim to build your very own tour incorporating those visitor attractions that are more fully accessible to you.
Where you are particularly keen to visit an attraction that is less accessible , we will explain the restrictions in advance, as well as making alternative recommendations . This way the final decision rests with you as to whether to include this attraction in your tour or not.
Euan’s Guide is a great place to start!

A full Day Tour and Half Day Tour with easy Access for disabled people and those with mobility difficulties.
Scotland is such a beautiful country with many attractions to visit but this can be made more difficult if you find it harder to get around. Our ancestors didn't think of wheelchairs or people with walking sticks when they built cobbled streets and castles!
In order to ensure that these places can be enjoyed by everyone I have planned this tour so that people with mobility problems can enjoy a day out in Edinburgh and beyond. I can plan tours similar to the one featured below, around the whole of the Scottish mainland and the islands in the same way and include accommodation recommendations to suit your mobility requirements.
I will collect you from your accommodation in an appropriate vehicle. My Mercedes Viano is extremely comfortable and easy to get in and out of if you can transfer from a folding wheelchair which can be accommodated in the rear if the the vehicle. Reputable Taxi company in Edinburgh "Central Taxis"(44 131 229 2468) does have wheelchair friendly vehicles called a Peugot E7 which can take an occupied manual wheelchair and 3 other passengers or an occupied powered wheelchair and two other occupants.
We shall drive through the Old Town and the Georgian New Town. Maybe drive around Holyrood Park and Arthurs Seat, the remains of an extinct volcano, to view the city landscape from above.
We can visit Edinburgh Castle, where there is a courtesy vehicle to take people with mobility problems to the top of the Castle and back to their vehicle, thus avoiding the cobbles and stone staircases to get to the top.It travels through a tunnel cut into the volcanic rock on which Edinburgh Castle is built. There are many places in the Castle which can be accessed by those with limited mobility. For example, there is an elevator, so you will be able to view the Scottish Crown Jewels and the Stone of Destiny without having to negotiate the winding stone staircase that leads to the room where they are displayed. You can also view The Great Hall and The National War Memorial, both located off Crown Square at the top of the Castle.
Visit to the Scottish Borders
In the afternoon, perhaps venture out of town to visit Abbotsford, the home of Sir Walter Scott, the author of 'Rob Roy' and 'Ivanhoe', amongst many other books and poems. The house has beautiful furnishings and many collection of antiquities acquired by Scott throughout his life. It has easy access as all rooms are on one level. You could also view Melrose Abbey which dates from the 12th century. This afternoon tour would take you through the beautiful countryside of the Scottish Borders.
If you love antiques and would like to experience these with an afternoon tea of delicious warm Scottish scones with cream and jam, then a visit to Doune Arts and Antiques Centre is a must. A fantastic selection of antiques and craftwork with a welcoming cafe serving scones and other tasty treats! This excursion would take you through the countryside of Stirlingshire, viewing Stirling Castle en-route.
The Falkirk Wheel
Returning to the city with time to relax and freshen up before going to one of our many city restaurants for dinner, for example 'Rhubarb'; 'The Tower'; 'Merchants'; 'Ducks at le Marche Noir'; 'Skippers Bistro'; 'Britannia Spice', all have easy access and toilets for folks with limited mobility.
So you see a day out or a full Scottish vacation is not a problem. It is an opportunity to get out, have fun and enjoy Scotland with everyone else.I hope to meet you soon!

Tips for Travelers with Disabilities in Scotland
Facilities for people with disabilities are improving all the time in Scotland. Legislation requires that new public buildings are fully accessible to wheelchair-users; new public buses and black taxis are generally wheelchair-friendly; and many theatres and cinemas offer induction loops for the hard of hearing. One obstacle is that listed historic buildings are not allowed to widen entrances, build permanent ramps, or in many cases install elevators. A plus is that people with disabilities are often granted special discounts (“concessions”) at attractions and entertainment venues. Free information and advice for people with disabilities traveling throughout Britain are available from Tourism for All ( www.tourismforall.org.uk ; tel. 0845/124-9971 ).
For international travel, Accessible Journeys ( www.disabilitytravel.com ; tel. 800/846-4537 or 610/521-0339) caters specifically to slow walkers and wheelchair travelers and their families and friends. Flying Wheels Travel (tel. 877/451-5006 ) offers escorted tours and cruises that emphasize sports, and private tours in minivans with lifts.
The Moss Rehab Hospital ( www.mossresourcenet.org ; tel. 800/CALL-MOSS [225-5667]) provides a library of accessible-travel resources online. Flying with Disability ( www.flying-with-disability.org ) is a comprehensive information source on airplane travel, and the American Foundation for the Blind ( AFB; www.afb.org ; tel. 800/232-5463 ) provides information on traveling with Seeing Eye dogs.

Accessible days out in Scotland
Scotland is a diverse and thrilling environment to explore, and there are plenty of ways for disabled travellers to fully experience all that it has to offer. Euan’s Guide, the disabled access review website and app, offers some ideas for epic accessible days out north of the border.
Step into the great outdoors
Scotland has one of the best natural playgrounds in Britain. With around 10,000km of coastline, over 30,000 lochs, two national parks and the highest mountain; adventurers won’t get bored north of the border!
Castle Semple Visitor Centre & Country Park (search via: www.clydemuirshiel.co.uk ) is a massive outdoor activity hub and Sailability centre in Lochwinnoch. At only 40 minutes from Glasgow, visitors can take the ultimate day trip from the city to have a go at kayaking, canoeing, rafting and much more. One visitor told Euan’s Guide that the centre is “brilliant fun” and that “very vigilant instructors ensure everyone’s safety”.
If you love water but would prefer to stay on land, you can hire adult and kids’ beach wheelchairs ( www.beachwheelchairs.org ) for free in North Berwick. A fabulous town for seaside fish and chips and accessible toilets close by, North Berwick is a great place to build a sandcastle with the family. A reviewer told us: “This experience allowed our son to explore rock pools, roll down the beach into the water and be lifted in for a paddle! He had a ball!”
Explore a country steeped in history
A journey through Scotland can be very evocative, and the daring travellers among you will encounter tumbling stone castles, abandoned railway tracks and barren battlefields. Even more-so in the cities, you can almost feel the history as you navigate your way past dense tenements or through dark closes.
While remnants of an inaccessible past may be laid bare in front of you, disabled access today can be second to none at many Scottish heritage sites and attractions. Eerie as it may be, a trip to Culloden Moor, the site of Britain’s last hand-to-hand combat battle is definitely worth a visit. One reviewer loved the Inverness attraction ( www.nts.org.uk/culloden ) saying: “There is a cinema room that has a film of a re-enactment of the battle which makes you feel as though you’re in the middle of it all”.
Back in the Capital, a bit of regal history doesn’t go amiss. Royal Yacht Britannia ( www.royalyachtbritannia.co.uk ) has been named Scotland’s Best Visitor Attraction, and is a fascinating ‘floating residence’ with excellent disabled access according to Euan’s Guide reviewers. One visitor wrote about his experience saying: “The most impressive feature was the clever use of ramps and lifts to move visitors between the decks of the boat”.
Sample the national drink – either one!
Whisky is worth over £5bn to the British economy, and there’s plenty of it in Scotland. Perched just beneath the top of the Royal Mile is The Scotch Whisky Experience ( www.scotchwhiskyexperience.co.uk ), a fun visitor attraction that invites you to take a seat inside a barrel and view the distillery process from the inside! One reviewer loved the whole thing and told us that there was: “Good access throughout, including an accessible barrel on the ride which kicks off the experience”.
A favourite for many reviewers is the tasting experience itself. Another visitor wrote: “The palate discovery experience was my favourite part of the tour. We had to use our sense of smell to decide which whisky we would like to try. There is of course Irn-Bru available for younger people and non-drinkers”.
Broaden your horizons at top museums
Like every country, Scotland has its collection of famous literary geniuses, engineers and scientists to showcase, and there are many to boast about. Robert Burns, the Scottish poet, and his work are recognised worldwide. You can discover more about the Scot who wrote Auld Lang Syne at the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum in Ayr ( www.burnsmuseum.org.uk ), which one visitor wrote about on Euan’s Guide saying: “The museum has excellent level access”.
Celebrating Glasgow’s legacy as a ‘maritime powerhouse’, the Riverside Museum ( www.glasgowlife.org.uk/museums/riverside ) is a great accessible attraction to visit with all the family, and admission is completely free. One visitor told us: “The museum has great access. There were plenty of loos, a massive lift to get to the upper level and exhibits arranged so you had a reasonable view from the wheelchair height. The icing on the cake were the lifts to get up onto the railway locomotives and experience the driver’s view”.
If you are venturing into the Highlands, the first British open air museum can be found amidst stunning scenery in Newtonmore. At the Highland Folk Museum you can learn about a different way of life and how things were for those who lived there from the 1700s until the 1960s. One person who visited told us: “A wheelchair accessible trailer takes disabled people to various parts of the folk park, including the Medieval Township”.
Discover Scottish legends made of steel
Driving through Scotland’s Central Belt, you might suddenly find yourself in the presence of world’s largest equine sculptures, two enormous horse heads breaking out of the ground and looming over unsuspecting motorists passing by the town of Falkirk.
These are The Kelpies ( www.thehelix.co.uk ), a stunning piece of artwork by Andy Scott and inspired by mythological creatures that possess the power of one hundred horses.
The Kelpies are part of The Helix, a vast green space with wide smooth walkways, cafes and accessible loos dotted throughout. It’s the perfect place to stop for a picnic, an ice cream or even for the chance to step inside one of the hollow steel structures. One visitor reviewed the attraction on Euan’s Guide saying: “I absolutely loved the access around the Kelpies attraction and the new visitor centre. There is just so much space!”
Exploring more…
Wherever you decide to go in Scotland, you’ll soon discover that each location is different from the next when it comes to accessibility, and this adds to the variety and excitement of travelling around such a diverse country. Exploring the big cities of the Central Belt is great fun and there’s room to be spontaneous here as access is generally good. Regular train links connect the major cities, right up to Inverness, the gateway to the Highlands.
When it comes to venturing away from the comfort of central public transport, things can get a little trickier for everyone. Roads become bumpier, pedestrian areas diminish until all but the last path has disappeared from view. But that doesn’t mean there are no accessible places in rural Scotland. It simply means a little more planning may be required to get to where you need to go. It can be really handy to have your own mode of transport when exploring the more remote Scottish locations where there is plenty of adventure to be had.
Disabled Access Day in Scotland
Scotland’s capital was one of the four hub cities for Disabled Access Day 2016, and it demonstrated the creative ways that different attractions are becoming more accessible in the country. The event was a great opportunity for shops, restaurants, galleries, museums and more to showcase their accessibility, and many locals and visitors got involved to try something new on the day.
In true Scottish spirit, Dance Base (www.dancebase.co.uk) in Edinburgh opened their doors for an accessible ceilidh this year. They do in fact run inclusive dance sessions every week during school term time. In Glasgow, disabled visitors were invited to meet the Glasgow Tigers ( www.glasgowtigers.co ) professional speedway team after watching them in full flight. Of course Scotland was not the only country taking part, and there were many events across the rest of the UK and beyond. You can find out more at: www.disabledaccessday.com

Accessible Guided Tours in Edinburgh
Defined by hills and beautiful cathedrals… steeped in Celtic and medieval history… Edinburgh is one of the most beautiful cities in the United Kingdom. Often referred to as the very heart of Scotland, this spectacular historic city is an all year round travel destination with endless things to see and do, including art galleries, theatres, sightseeing, Blues and Jazz Festivals and the world renowned Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Some of the most popular and memorable attractions in Edinburgh are the vibrant Royal Mile, a succession of streets forming the main thoroughfare of the Old Town, the Edinburgh Castle, a historic fortress which dominates the skyline of the city, and the majestic Holyrood Palace which is the official residence of the British monarch in Scotland. While the steep streets and terrain of the city can be a significant obstacle for disabled access in Edinburgh, our accessible guided walking and driving tours give you an opportunity to create memorable experiences in the Scottish capital.

What are Limitless disabled friendly holidays?
As every individual has different requirements, finding inclusive travel for disabled adults, children and seniors that meet your needs can be a challenge. For travellers with mobility restrictions , there’s an important emphasis on access and support.
All elements of our wheelchair friendly holidays - from the big things like transport, accommodation and excursions to the smaller details, such as assistance with luggage handling, unpacking and general everyday tasks - must be carefully considered.
Holidays suitable for disabled travellers must also take into account transport and hotel facilities. Coaches need to be equipped with lifts or ramps, hotels fitted with wet rooms, profiling beds and hoists , and specialist equipment made readily available.
Finally, the success of wheelchair holidays for disabled travellers also often depends on special assistance and emotional support provided by professional care staff.
What makes Limitless accessible holidays different?
At Limitless Travel, we take all of the above factors into consideration to provide disabled-friendly tours and holidays with disabled facilities abroad and in the UK that combine exciting itineraries and fantastic locations with the accommodation, facilities, support and reassurance you need to travel comfortably.
Whether you're looking for activity holidays for disabled adults in the UK, all inclusive holidays that are disabled friendly or relaxed sightseeing tours of Amsterdam, we'll ensure your holiday is perfectly suited to your needs.
How do I choose one of your wheelchair friendly holidays?
Choosing between our disabled friendly holidays is made easy by our team of professional travel advisors. With a range of locations and care packages on offer, we can help tailor your disabled access holiday to your specific needs and accessibility requirements.

What about disabled holiday care packages?
Our Care Packages page also provides information as to the various types of assistance and support we can provide you on your disabled friendly holiday.
However, if you have any issues choosing between our range of disabled friendly and wheelchair accessible holidays, we’d recommend picking up the phone and speaking to one of our Limitless Travel Advisors. They’ll be able to talk you through the various options available, help you find the right holiday and provide booking and post-booking support.

Do you research and vet your wheelchair accessible holidays?
At Limitless Travel, we take accessibility seriously. That’s why a member of the Limitless Team visits every holiday destination to ensure it meets our high standards.
This means checking every aspect of our accessible holidays - accommodation, accessible transport, activities and excursions - to guarantee it’s suitable for you. We only offer wheelchair accessible holidays with disabled facilities that meet the needs of our travellers, so you enjoy total peace of mind.
It also means we know our holidays inside and out. After every vetting visit, we create a disability holidays guide for each of our disabled friendly holidays. This is provided to all guests who travel with us, so you know exactly what to expect. It also contains information relating to your destination, including sections on local customs, landmarks and attractions.
Do you offer holidays with disabled facilities?
All of our disabled access holidays feature accommodation and transport that have been specifically selected for travellers with disabilities. We offer adaptive equipment rental and mobility aids rental, too. That means you can expect hotels with hoists, profile beds and other relevant facilities. Our coaches are also fully accessible. Equipped with either ramps or hydraulic lifts, they ensure you're able to travel in comfort. Whether you're searching for activity holidays for disabled travellers or a relaxed sightseeing trip, you'll always enjoy full accessibility and an itinerary tailored to your needs.
What should I expect while on a disabled holiday?
On Limitless Travel wheelchair accessible holidays, you can expect to have a fantastic time with a group of like-minded people who are looking to enjoy themselves on a well-organised, exciting and accessible holiday.
On our disabled friendly all inclusive holidays you can also expect to relax, unwind and fully enjoy your time away.

This is largely due to our talented and compassionate care and support team , who are on-hand throughout all of our holidays for people with disabilities. Of course, you’re also welcome to travel with your own carer, friends or family, if you’d like to share the holiday with someone you already know.
What else do I need to enjoy Limitless disabled friendly holidays?
While our travel advisors will talk you through additional requirements when you’re booking your holiday, there are several factors you may want to consider before travelling. These include:
- Insurance – we always recommend that you take out cancellation and travel insurance, just in case
- Passport – if you are going on a disabled holiday outside of the UK, make sure you have a valid passport that is in date
- Adaptors – for those travelling abroad, bear in mind that you may need plug adaptors in order to use your electrical items
- Weather protection – be ready for anything! Sun cream, a hat, and sunglasses are recommended, as well as a coat, just in case
