Common Questions from Senior Travelers

Is there a lot of walking at the viewpoints?

No. The bus tours we recommend drop you off just feet away from paved, level overlooks. You can walk as much or as little as you feel comfortable with.

Are these tours suitable for wheelchairs?

Most are! The Grand Canyon Railway and most South Rim bus tours have specialized lifts. Always mention your needs at the time of booking on Trip.com.
