Choose your dates and number of people, you will now see the estimated cost per person. If you click on 'Continue' you will be able to add other tours, assistive devices or transport. You will now see the total cost per person for your stays and/or tours. You can click on 'Continue' you can fill out your personal details and send your request. This is not a final booking, but we will process your request and contact you within 48 hours.
This is a very difficult question to answer. Accessibility involves particular places and people. It can not be generalized for a country, city, neighborhood or building even. Each person needs different kinds of access. A person can have a physical disability, visual or hearing impairment, be chronically sick, be pregnant, be short or tall, be senior, have children or carry heavy bags.
No, we are specialized in organizing holidays for people with access needs. If you need help arranging their accommodations, transport and activities in the Netherlands can contact us by e-mailing to info@accessibletravelnl.com.
We only give objective information and don't try to make a certain place appear better accessible than it actually is. Every location is examined personally or by someone instructed to examine a location. Additionally, we always make pictures at the locations we visit so we can provide you with the pictures if you wish.
