#1 – London in 7 days

accessible-london-vacationLondon makes a great destination for first-time disabled visitors to Europe…good accessibility, no language barrier, and numerous world-class attractions in a single city.  With a 7 day accessible London vacation, you will be able to see many of the top tourist attractions in London.  Royal attractions like Buckingham Palace, the Changing of the Guards, and the Crown Jewels at the Tower of London tell the story of Kings and Queens through the centuries.  Two of the most impressive churches in the world, Westminster Abbey and St. Paul’s Cathedral, are accessible to disabled tourists.

A visit to the British Museum is like taking a world tour of antiquity.  The museum contains some of the most important artifacts in Western Civilization, including the Rosetta Stone, the Elgin Marbles from the Athens Parthenon, the Knidos Lion, and numerous Egyptian Mummies. The Magna Carta, Da Vinci drawings, and hand-written Beatles lyrics can be found at the nearby British Library.  The National Gallery at Trafalgar Square contains one of the great art collections in the world, and the iconic Piccadilly Circus is located nearby. Twentieth century history is on full display at the underground Cabinet War Rooms (where Churchill conducted World War II) and the Imperial War Museum.

London offers numerous accessible theatre and shopping options in the fashionable West End, and we can recommend some excellent fully-accessible, centrally-located hotel options.  The history and culture of London really come alive with a licensed tour guide, and we can arrange for an accessible vehicle to pick you up at your hotel for a guided tour of the city.

A boat tour on the Thames River is a fascinating way to see Parliament, Tower Bridge, Shakespeare’s Globe, the London Eye, and more!  With 7 days in London, you will probably also have time to take a day-trip to see one of the fascinating nearby destinations like Stonehenge (shown in the photo above on the right), Windsor Castle, Oxford, or Cambridge!


#2 – London, Oxford, and Cambridge in 10 days

If you add 3 days to the 7 day accessible London vacation described above, you’ll have time to get out of the big city and see charming English towns like Oxford and Cambridge.

In Oxford, you’ll walk/roll in the footsteps of Oxford University alumni like Lawrence of Arabia, Margaret Thatcher, Bill Clinton, Albert Einstein, C. S. Lewis, and Oscar Wilde. When you visit the town and university in Cambridge, you will learn about alumni like Sir Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, John Harvard, Lord Byron, Oliver Cromwell, and Stephen Hawking, as well as visit wonders of architecture like King’s College Chapel (shown in the photo on the right).

We have personally inspected accessible hotel rooms in both cities and work with top-notch local tour guides to ensure that you get to experience everything these world-famous towns have to offer!

Most of our clients start their visit with a 3 hour Accessible Driving Tour to get an overview of neighborhoods like Montmartre and Saint Germain des Prés, as well as notable landmarks like the Panthéon, the Champs-Elysées, the Arc de Triomphe, and Pont Neuf. While in Paris, you’ll also be able to visit towering churches like Notre Dame (Notre Dame is currently not available due to the recent fire), Saint-Chapelle, and Sacre Coeur.

And who hasn’t heard of the art museums in Paris?  The Louvre Museum (home of the Mona Lisa, Winged Victory, and Venus de Milo), the Marmottan Monet Museum (home of Impression: Sunrise), the Orsay Museum (full of art by Monet, Degas, Renoir, and Van Gogh), and the Orangerie Museum are just of few of the can’t-miss museums in Paris.

Paris is home to some of the most fashionable shopping boutiques that you’ll find anywhere.  You’ll be able to stay in the charming Left Bank and relax at numerous accessible sidewalk cafés. With 7 days in Paris, you’ll even have time to visit the palace and gardens at Versailles as well as Monet’s water lily garden at Giverny!

And who could pass up an opportunity to have an accessible Paris dinner cruise on the Seine River or dinner on the Eiffel Tower!  The dinner cruise in particular gets rave reviews from every client we’ve ever sent on it!
