6 Tour Companies Dedicated to Travelers with Disabilities

By Arundhati Nath

Growing up, Neha Arora didn’t have the easiest time traveling with her family—her father is visually impaired and her mother is a wheelchair user. “We’d travel 2,000 miles only to realize the place wasn’t accessible or wouldn’t give us the experience we were looking forward to,” says Arora. In 2016, she founded Planet Abled , a travel company that caters to the needs of people with various disabilities, a group the World Health Organization estimates at 15 percent of the world’s population. Arora isn’t the only one pushing for more thoughtful travel experiences—here’s a look at six companies focused on accessible travel .

Travel for All

Travel for All has organized more than 5,000 vacations around the world for travelers with a variety of requirements, including cane users, slow walkers, hearing and vision impaired persons, travelers with complex health issues like dialysis and developmental disabilities, and wheelchair users. “As multiple sclerosis began to affect my own personal travel, I researched what resources could assist me with executing travel using my wheelchair,” says CEO Tarita Davenock. “I was shocked when I saw the lack of services.” Every trip Travel for All plans comes with an accessibility specialist. “We research and give our clients the pros and cons of any area in the world before planning the trip, so our client knows what to expect while they are in that destination,” says Davenock. “Meticulous planning and great attention to detail are the keystones of keeping our vacations safe.”

Seable Holidays

Seable Holidays specializes in trips for visually impaired travelers. All trips include trained chaperones—who undergo a background check—as well as inclusive sports and sensory activities like horse riding, scuba diving, kayaking, wine tasting, yoga, and tactile museum excursions. And everything is thoroughly vetted, with chaperones, activities, and accommodations tested by blind people before they’re recommended by the company. While trips are on pause during the pandemic, Seable Holidays will bring them back in summer 2022.

Easy Access Travel

Debra Kerper and her team at Easy Access Travel accommodate most types of physical disabilities in their solo trips and mixed group tours. While Kerper sometimes relies on her own experiences as a traveler in a wheelchair, she says every trip needs to be tailored to an individual client’s needs. To do so, the team spends time getting to know their clients to match them with the best vacation choice, and visits hotels and tourist spots for inspection, takes cruises beforehand, and collects information from trustworthy sources to ensure a safe, accessible, and fun experience.

Planet Abled

Neha Arora’s Planet Abled arranges customized tours for people with different types of disabilities, and also plans group tours that include non-disabled people. Their trips mostly take place in India and South East Asia , with plans to expand to countries in Europe, and popular activities include river rafting, skiing, trekking, and wildlife safaris. Some of their extra touches include assigning a travel buddy for the blind, seeking special permission from museums so clients can touch and feel the articles on display, and arranging for sign language interpreters for the hearing impaired.

Wheel the World

Alvaro Silberstein, the CEO of Wheel the World , was paralyzed from the chest down after surviving an accident at 18. This didn’t stop him from seeing the world—he’s since visited 30 countries on five continents. “I realized that people with disabilities should be able to explore places as anyone else,” he says. Most of his clients are adults or seniors with mobility disabilities and wheelchair users, and he can arrange solo travel or group trips. Silberstein wants to create more awareness around accessibility, and his company pays special attention to details like the height of beds, width of doors, and accessibility of bathrooms, compiling this information on the Wheel the World website. Their multi-day trips are designed with local tour operators with a focus on accessible travel, and includes access to adaptive bikes, beach wheelchairs, and equipment for hiking, skydiving, kayaking, scuba diving, and surfing—they’ve even planned Macchu Pichu trips for wheelchair users . The company makes sure “prices are competitive and the pricing is the same no matter if the clients have a disability or not,” says Silberstein.

Tapooz Travel

Laurent Roffe and Aicha Nystrom spent years volunteering with an organization that provides outdoors excursions to people with disabilities. “We have many friends in wheelchairs as part of our close community,” says Roffe. “I’m a sea kayak guide and [Aicha] is a ski guide and this has always been a source of immense joy for us. Launching our accessible travel business was a natural extension of what we are and what we like to do.” Their company, Tapooz Travel , specializes in trips for those with mobility issues, including visual and hearing impairment, rather than cognitive disabilities. When they have a client with a visual or hearing impairment, they make sure there’s at least one guide trained in sign language, or have a guide who can help with things like reading the menu at the restaurant and providing a voice narration during a site visit. Their network also includes adaptive sports instructors, sailboat skippers, tribal elders, massage therapists, and hot air balloon operators , all of whom are trained to work with travelers with disabilities.

Planning an accessible trip? These travel resources can help.

Traveling with a disability poses challenges, and more research and planning are required to ensure a safe trip. Unfortunately, not everywhere you go will be accessible to people with disabilities, so picking where you go and when can make all the difference in your trip experience.

There are great tour companies and travel agencies out there that specialize in helping travelers book accessible trips catered to their specific needs. But if you do go the DIY route, there are also resources available to help you research where to book.

Planning resources

AbleThrive aggregates support resources to help people with disabilities. The site covers multiple topics related to living with a disability, including healthcare, parenting, employment, relationships and, of course, travel.

AccessibleGO

AccessibleGO is a full-service travel platform dedicated to helping people with disabilities make the most out of their travels. They offer articles written by community members who all have first-hand experience traveling with a disability.

You can use their booking tool to search for hotels and cruises that are accessible . You can also book trips through the website, but we recommend booking directly with a hotel or airline generally.

Handiscover

Similar to AccessibleGO, Handiscover allows you to book accessible accommodations. The site uses a unique classification system that lets you filter searches to your specific physical accessibility needs — from being able to walk up only a few flights of stairs to needing fully wheelchair accessible accommodations.

Handiscover also has community-contributed articles on the site to help you plan out your trip from start to finish.

Tips for planning an accessible trip

The resources listed above all offer content created specifically to help people with disabilities — often with a focus on physical disabilities that impact mobility — plan out trips. But there are also some general tips everyone looking to book an accessible trip should keep in mind when mapping out a getaway.

Use a travel agent or tour company that specializes in accessible travel

Beginner travelers especially should consider taking advantage of tour operators and travel agents that cater to those with disabilities. They'll not only have resources to help make sure your trip fits your specific needs, but you also might get special rates or offers when going through an agency.

Enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP)

The STEP program is a free government service that notifies you of security updates from the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate while you're abroad. STEP also helps the U.S. embassy better provide assistance during an emergency while you're out of the country.

This tip doesn't only apply to people traveling with disabilities — anyone traveling abroad should sign up — but those who are traveling with physical disabilities can also add relevant information about any mobility limitations.

Call ahead to arrange special assistance

Whether it's a hotel, a cruise or a flight, you should call ahead if you need special assistance. When you book, it's a good idea to call and note if there are any physical limitations you'll need help with — such as boarding a plane with a wheelchair. Also, call again 48 hours before your trip to confirm any assistance arranged at booking, and mention it again at the check-in counter.

Research contingency plans before you go

Talk to your doctor before your trip to discuss any specific concerns, get any doctors' notes required for travel and arrange for any medication refills you may need before you go (you'll want to pack more than you need of any medication, and it should go in your carry-on bag for easy access).

Additionally, research the area where you're traveling, and have contact information for doctors' offices, pharmacies and hospitals in case of emergency.

It's also not a bad idea to look into comprehensive travel insurance that includes medical coverage while you're abroad.

The rise of accessible travel has made dream vacations possible for everyone, regardless of physical limitations.

Busting the Myth: Travel with Disabilities

Did you know that nearly 15% of the world’s population lives with some form of disability? That’s over a billion people! Yet, the concept of travel with disabilities still remains a myth for many. But let’s bust this myth right here, right now: travel is for everyone , and disability should not be a barrier to exploring this beautiful world. As Ivor Ambrose, Managing Director of the European Network for Accessible Tourism (ENAT), states, “Accessible travel is not a niche market, it is a human right.”

The Rise of Accessible Travel

In an effort to promote inclusion and accessibility, the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) published the first-ever manual on accessible tourism in 2018. This manual provides guidelines for governments, businesses, and other stakeholders to improve accessibility in the tourism industry. Accessible travel has since been on the rise, unlocking new possibilities for those with disabilities.

Resources for Traveling with Disabilities

Websites like ‘WheelchairTravel’ and ‘Disabled World Travel’ offer comprehensive guides and first-hand experiences to aid your travel planning. Furthermore, several airlines and travel agencies offer services tailored for travelers with disabilities, making it easier to plan your dream vacation.

Traveling Smart: Tips for Travel with Disabilities

Plan ahead, conduct thorough research on your destination, and communicate your needs clearly. Check if the places you plan to visit are wheelchair-friendly, if hotels provide accessible rooms, and if public transport caters to people with disabilities. Carry essential items such as medication, and have a backup plan in case things don’t go as expected. Remember, a well-planned trip can lead to a smooth and enjoyable journey.

Embracing the Adventure

While it can be a bit more challenging to travel with disabilities, it’s far from impossible. With the right preparation , resources, and mindset, you can embrace the adventure that awaits. So go ahead, make those plans, book that ticket, and embark on a journey that’s as unique as you are!

Travel with disabilities doesn’t have to be a distant dream. The world of accessible travel is expanding, and the opportunities are endless. Remember, everyone has the right to travel and explore, and disability is not a barrier. So get ready, the world awaits you!

How has the concept of travel with disabilities changed over the years?

Over the years, the concept of travel with disabilities has seen a positive shift. With organizations like UNWTO advocating for accessible tourism, more and more services are becoming available to cater to travelers with disabilities.

What is the future of travel with disabilities?

Deborah, your post resonated deeply with me! Your point on the role of mindfulness in daily life struck a chord. I’ve personally experienced a significant shift in my perspective since incorporating meditation into my morning routine. However, I’m curious on your thoughts: How can we maintain mindfulness amid chaos? Also, have you considered the impact of digital distractions on our efforts to be present? I’d love to see you delve into the potential benefits of digital detoxing. Keep these insightful posts coming! 😊👏

Road Trips: How to Plan an Accessible Getaway

An illustration depicts two people happily chatting as they drive along a two-lane desert road with cactuses and rock outcroppings littering the dry landscape. The driver is disabled, and is using various specialized driving devices. Rugged mountains, a full yellow sun above them, rise up in the distance.

By Syren Nagakyrie

Planning an accessible road trip is getting a little easier for people with disabilities. There are more resources created by and for the disability community, and the tourism industry is starting to recognize the value of accessible travel. As a disabled, chronically ill, neurodivergent person, I take road trips every year and have learned some tips and tricks along the way.

Renting a vehicle

Most major car companies offer adaptive driving devices for their vehicles at no additional cost. Enterprise , for example, offers hand controls, left foot accelerators, pedal extenders and spinner knobs to facilitate steering. Budget can provide hand controls, spinner knobs, a panoramic mirror, swivel seats and transfer boards. Be prepared to request adaptive devices at least three business days in advance.

For a wheelchair-accessible van with a ramp or a lift, rent from a mobility company like BraunAbility , one of the largest builders of wheelchair-accessible vans in the country, with rentals at many locations. MobilityWorks , an accessible-vehicle and adaptive-equipment dealer, has rental locations in 34 states. AccessibleGO , which offers a one-stop shop for adapted rental cars and wheelchair-accessible vans, has agreements with 100 wheelchair van rental locations nationwide; request a quote on their website. For accessibleGO’s rental cars, you can request hand controls and a spinner knob at checkout.

Route planning

You can use Google Maps, Waze and MapQuest for initial accessibility research using photos and street view. Google Maps provides directions for some wheelchair-accessible pedestrian and transit routes.

Sites such as Roadtrippers and Furkot can plot an entire itinerary. While these websites are not disability specific, they are invaluable tools. (Roadtrippers does have a wheelchair-accessible check box in the search function.) You can filter by types of destinations such as national parks or museums, and search for hotels and campgrounds. Furkot allows you to input how long you want to drive each day, whether you want to travel on Interstate highways or take more scenic roads. The app will determine the best route and length of time between stops, and suggest where to stay overnight.

Finding lodging

While hotels and other accommodations are required to comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act, many hotels do not meet all accessibility needs. Most of the booking sites list hotels with accessible rooms for those with mobility, hearing and vision needs, but this information is not always verified. Do additional research on review sites and look for photos. Hyatt, Marriott, Hilton and Fairmont hotels offer allergy-friendly and scent-free rooms in some locations. Call the hotel to verify accessibility and to make sure a specific room is reserved for you.

Vacation rentals are typically not required to be A.D.A. compliant, but some do provide accessibility information. Airbnb recently rolled out an adapted category with accessibility search features and homes that have been scanned for accessibility. Review photos and contact the host for more information. Some hosts will make accommodations, such as changing the cleaning supplies or shifting furniture, but document your request using the in-app messaging system so that customer service can help if you run into issues.

Wheel the World is an accessible travel agency offering bookings at over 3,000 verified accessible hotels in the United States. The hotels have been reviewed in person by trained assessors; only those that meet the criteria are listed. Sign up as a disabled traveler or a companion and complete a personal profile that includes options for a variety of disabilities and accessibility needs. The site will provide listings that match your profile with partial, adequate and outstanding match options.

Food and medication

There are a variety of options to keep food or medication cold while traveling. Electric coolers can plug into your vehicle’s 12-volt outlet, but pay attention to the type of cooling mechanism — the less expensive versions are usually thermoelectric and will cool only to about 30 degrees below ambient temperature (if it is 70 degrees in the car, it will cool to 40 degrees). Compressor coolers are more expensive but maintain normal refrigerated temperatures.

Many hotels provide mini-refrigerators. When you know you will be stopping somewhere with a fridge almost every night, layer large ice packs and supplies in a cooler, then top them with another insulating layer like a cooling bag. This keeps everything cold for a couple of days at a time.

It’s also a good idea to travel with a single-burner cooktop — electric to use inside, or propane to use at rest areas and campgrounds — and a camp mess kit so that you can safely cook meals.

Some of the best apps to find food, restaurants and grocery stores that accommodate dietary needs are Fig for allergy-specific options, Happy Cow for vegan-friendly options and Find Me Gluten Free for celiac-safe spots. Add your favorite options to the route-planning app so that you know where to stop.

Finding activities

In addition to the apps mentioned in the route-planning section, state and local tourism organizations are good sources for accessible destinations.

National parks and monuments, which are required to meet federal accessibility guidelines, typically have visitor centers and recreation sites with accessible features. Each park website has information, as well as programs and services within the park. While accessibility varies, you can usually find information on wheelchair-accessible trails and campsites, tactile and audio features, assistive listening devices, and American Sign Language interpreters.

At state parks, accessibility features may not be consistent, but you can usually find some information on each park’s website.

Apps like AllTrails list wheelchair-friendly trails across the country, but the information may not be verified, so contact the park or land manager for verification. Among the parks with notable accessible trails are Redwood National and State Parks, North Cascades National Park, Badlands National Park, and Great Smoky Mountains National Park .

Syren Nagakyrie, the founder of the nonprofit Disabled Hikers and the author of “The Disabled Hiker’s Guide to Western Washington and Oregon” and “The Disabled Hiker’s Guide to Northern California,” among other guidebooks, leads group hikes and conducts assessments throughout the United States.

The Ultimate Wheelchair Accessible Tampa Florida Travel Guide

The Tampa Bay area has it all – beautiful beaches, delicious food, and plenty of attractions to keep anyone busy. While I’ve been to the Tampa Bay area a few times (mainly to Clearwater ) and visited Busch Gardens, one of Tampa’s most popular attractions, I had never taken the time to actually explore downtown Tampa until recently. Before visiting, I really wasn’t too sure of what to expect, but within a few days, Tampa quickly became one of my favorite accessible Florida cities .

It turns out that there is much more to Tampa than just Busch Gardens. I really enjoyed checking out many of the wheelchair accessible Tampa attractions, from an outdoor shopping center to the riverwalk and one of the best zoos I’ve ever visited. My few days in Tampa were a ton of fun and I’m now head-over-heels in love with the city. Keep reading to discover my recommendations for accessible things to do in Tampa, accessible transportation options, and where to stay.

Wheelchair Accessible Tampa Attractions & Things to Do

The Florida Aquarium

No exaggeration, The Florida Aquarium is one of the best aquariums I’ve ever been to. Over the course of a couple hours, I saw alligators, snakes, sharks, stingrays, lemurs, and more!

Accessibility throughout the aquarium was great. All public access doors had automatic door push plates and an elevator was available, so that I could visit the various levels. The viewing areas for all of the animals were quite spacious as well, so I could easily roll throughout the aquarium. And if you need to rent a wheelchair or scooter for your visit, they are available on a first-come, first-served basis from the aquarium.

If you’re looking for a fun place to visit in Tampa as a wheelchair user, this is a great first-stop for any trip. The Florida Aquarium is open seven days per week and tickets can be purchased in advance here .

Sparkman Wharf

On a nice day, which happens frequently and year-round in Tampa, Sparkman Wharf is the perfect place to grab a meal, shop, and hang out. I visited on a Sunday and it was packed with families enjoying the sunny day.

Sparkman Wharf is waterfront and has many restaurants (most of them are located in colorful shipping containers), a biergarten, shops, a dining garden, and a recreational lawn. There are more than a dozen places to choose from for some good food and even more options are coming soon to Sparkman Wharf.

I started with some delicious Mexican food from Gallito and then followed that up with “salted peanut butter with chocolate flecks” ice cream from Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams. It was all fantastic and I can’t wait to return and try some more of the restaurants.

Tampa Bay History Center

Located along the Riverwalk, the Tampa Bay History Center is a 60,000 square foot facility. Here, you can explore the past 12,000 years of Tampa history across three floors of interactive exhibits, theaters, and displays. You can even learn the history of Tampa Bay’s first native inhabitants, and also stroll through a reproduction of a 1920’s cigar store, which was one of my favorite exhibits.

The accessibility throughout the museum is easily manageable for wheelchair users, as there is a large elevator to maneuver from floor to floor. There are also manual wheelchairs available for use free of charge on a first-come, first-served basis. The museum is spacious and allows chair users easy access to view the displays, exhibits, and park inside the theaters for great views.

The museum is open 7 days per week from 10am-5pm. If you want something to eat before or after your visit, there is also the most delicious restaurant, Columbia Cafe , inside the museum near the ticket counter. This is hands-down one of my favorite restaurants in the entire world, as I have eaten there multiple times.

Tampa Riverwalk

The Tampa Riverwalk is a 2.6-mile long pedestrian trail along the Hillsborough River in Tampa, Florida. This paved pathway allows beautiful views of the waterfront and provides access to delicious dining and entertainment options.

The Riverwalk is wide and spacious enough for wheelchairs, bikes, and pedestrians to easily come and go freely. Don’t worry about tiring out before reaching the end, as there are plenty of spots to sit and enjoy the views and several benches also provided.

From the Riverwalk, you can also catch the water taxi for a convenient ride further down the river. I will discuss the wheelchair accessible water taxi in more detail later in this blog post.

Hyde Park Village

If you’re in the mood to do some shopping, visit Hyde Park Village in Tampa! Hyde Park Village has dozens of shops & quite a few great restaurants as well, making it the ultimate outdoor entertainment destination.

There are six city blocks of shops at Hyde Park Village and you can find everything from Nike to Downtown Dogs (I bought some souvenirs for my two dogs here!) to a movie theater and much more. Every shop that I saw was wheelchair accessible and the sidewalks/curb cuts were very smooth for a wheelchair.

There are several dining options at Hyde Park Village, but I would highly recommend getting some food at Goody Goody . Goody Goody is a diner that serves burgers, hotdogs, southern fried chicken, and more, but it also serves breakfast all day. The pancakes are huge (12 inches in diameter to be exact!!) and the Bananas Foster syrup is out-of-this-world. Southern Living Magazine called it “the best breakfast in Florida” and after one bite, I understood why.

Whether you’re in search of a phenomenal breakfast or in need of a shopping spree, Hyde Park Village is a must-visit during any Tampa trip!

Walking/rolling tours are one of my favorite ways to explore any destination. You can see so much more than on a driving tour, for example, and you can learn a ton of stuff that you wouldn’t by just rolling around on your own. While in Tampa, I did a walking/rolling tour of Ybor City, a historic part of Tampa that will make you feel like you’ve gone back in time.

The tour with Ybor City Historic Walking Tours was informative and a ton of fun. I learned a lot and even “visited” Cuba (Cuba owns a piece of land in Ybor, so technically you can “visit” Cuba without a passport)! It was a unique tour experience that I honestly never expected to have in Tampa. Our guide, Max, did a great job of making the tour wheelchair accessible. He knew where ramps were, went at a good pace, and was exceptionally knowledgeable about accessibility in Ybor City.

I would 100% recommend this tour if you’ll be in the Tampa area. To book a tour, you can do so here , but call beforehand (phone number: 813-505-6779) and just let them know that you are a wheelchair user.

Armature Works

If you are searching for great food and drink options in the Tampa Bay area, Armature Works is another fun place to check out. This is a 22,000 sq.-ft. industrial market that has a new, fresh feel.

Here, you will find plenty of open seating and some of the top chefs in Tampa. Whether you are craving something sweet like a massive Fruity Pebbles cookie like I had at Bake’n Babes or a scrumptious empanada like I also devoured (don’t judge me) at Empamamas, you can have it all here in one place.

Armature Works also houses a “Show + Tell” workshop that hosts cooking classes and wine classes. And I almost forgot to mention that the outside view of the waterfront here is breathtaking! Accessible tables are available with spectacular views.

Zoo Tampa at Lowry Park

On my last morning in Tampa, I visited ZooTampa at Lowry Park and when I say that it is the best zoo I’ve ever visited, I absolutely mean it. Zoo Tampa has hundreds of animals to see, some rides (including a wheelchair accessible safari adventure ride), and informative shows throughout the day as well.

The zoo is mostly flat and it was incredibly easy to navigate as a wheelchair user. Exhibits weren’t spread out too far like some zoos, so during my entire 2.5 hour visit, I was seeing animals nonstop. My favorites were the orangutans and the manatees, but the giraffe and elephants are close seconds.

I loved my time at Zoo Tampa and was excited to learn that the zoo is expanding even more (new exhibits coming in spring 2022)! If you are planning to visit the zoo, check out this accessibility guide before you go, as it could be helpful.

Wheelchair Accessible Transportation in Tampa

There are multiple ways to get around Tampa as a wheelchair user. While I had my own accessible van to get around with in Tampa, here are some other transportation options that I used:

Pirate Water Taxi

The Pirate Water Taxi cruises along the river and has 14 stops at various attractions, restaurants, and parks. No matter where you’re wanting to go in the downtown Tampa area, the water taxi can probably get you pretty close to your destination. You can ride for the whole day and hop on and off as many times as you like once you purchase a wristband for $25 per adult. This is a fun way to get around Tampa, Florida (a bar is even onboard!) & it’s wheelchair accessible.

To get me on the water taxi, they had a portable ramp. It was pretty easy for me to get onboard with it, but depending on the tide on the day you visit, it could be a bit steep.

Once inside the water taxi, there is a wheelchair-friendly seating area. It is open-air, so you’ll have beautiful views of Tampa along the way. The enclosed seating area on the water taxi and the onboard restroom are not wheelchair accessible.

The TECO Line Streetcar

If you’re looking for a convenient, and cheaper, way to get around Tampa, this is a great option. The TECO Line Streetcar is a 2.7 mile long fixed guideway transit system that connects downtown Tampa, the Channelside District, and Ybor City.

It is completely free to ride the streetcars and all streetcars are wheelchair accessible. I was able to easily board the streetcar and once inside, there was an accessible area for me to sit. It was a quick and comfortable ride and I was highly impressed that it was free. What a fun way to get around Tampa!

Accessible Taxis

I did not personally use an accessible taxi while in Tampa because I had my own vehicle, but a couple companies do seem to offer wheelchair accessible taxi services.

Yellow Cab of Tampa has wheelchair accessible taxis, but they need to be reserved up to three days in advance. You can reserve an accessible taxi by calling 813-666-6666 or 727-666-6666.

States Taxi also offers wheelchair accessible taxis in Tampa. Please give them at least 24 hours notice of when you’ll be needing a ride. Contact them at 813-358-8468.

Where to Stay in Tampa: Tampa Marriott Water Street

During my few days in Tampa, I stayed at the beautiful Tampa Marriott Water Street . This hotel is in a perfect location on the waterfront and within walking/rolling distance of the Riverwalk, the streetcar and Pirate Water Taxi, and some attractions, including the Tampa Bay History Center and Sparkman Wharf.

The Tampa Marriott Water Street also has an on-site Starbucks, which I hit up every morning, valet parking, and there is an enclosed bridge that connects the hotel to the JW Marriott Tampa Water Street , which is just across the street. I enjoyed going over to the JW Marriott for dinner at their on-site restaurant, Six, one night.

My wheelchair accessible room had one king bed in it. The bed was a great height for self-transferring and a hoyer lift could easily go under the bed, as there was plenty of clearance underneath. A desk, mini fridge, smart TV, and Keurig coffee maker were in the room as well. There was also a balcony overlooking the river, but it was unfortunately not accessible.

In the bathroom, there was a smooth roll-in shower with a fold-down shower bench and handheld shower wand, a pull-under sink, and grab bars by the toilet. The bathroom was quite spacious as well.

If you’re looking for a nice hotel in a spectacular location, look no further. The Tampa Marriott Water Street has it all and is somewhere I’d stay again in a heartbeat.

The city of Tampa left quite an impression on me in just a few days and I wish I would’ve visited years ago, but I’m thankful that I now know how awesome Tampa is. With wheelchair accessible Tampa attractions, transportation, and accommodations, this city has something for visitors of all abilities and is definitely worth visiting during any Florida trip.

*Thank you to Visit Florida and Visit Tampa Bay for working with me on this trip and showing me the best of wheelchair accessible Tampa ! While my experiences in Tampa were complimentary, all opinions expressed are authentic and my own.

Top Tour Companies for Travelers With Physical Challenges

These five travel organizations help those with physical challenges explore the world.

Wheelchair user Elissa Fischer, 64, has ataxia, a brain disease that affects her speech, coordination and ability to walk. Nonetheless, the retired Floridian and her husband recently spent eight days exploring Iceland, the Nordic island nation known for its rugged landscape and challenging outdoor adventures. Their itinerary included taking a dip in the country’s famous Blue Lagoon. Fischer couldn’t have made such a trip without the help of Iceland Unlimited, a Reykjavik-based travel company that specializes in accessible tours.

Companies like Iceland Unlimited work hard to make travel accessible to people with all types of physical challenges, including those that come with age, such as less stamina and balance problems. They host their own tours to bucket-list destinations, focusing primarily on making travel easier and doable for their clients by carefully vetting hotels, restaurants and attractions to ensure truly accessible accommodations; using accessible vans with lifts to eliminate transportation issues; arranging for wheelchairs, scooters, walkers and other special medical equipment, as needed; securing accessible cabins on cruises, and more.

In addition to their guided tours, some also provide travel agency services, such as booking trips their clients want to take on their own — always focusing on their clients’ special needs.

Below is more information on Iceland Unlimited, as well as four other accessible-focused companies.

Easy Access Travel

Debra Kerper, a bilateral amputee, found few options when looking for travel experiences she could do given her disability, so she founded Easy Access Travel in 1995. Since then, the Carrollton, Texas–based company has hosted a variety of trips both on land and at sea. Plus, as a travel agency, it helps clients plan and book both domestic and international travel, with Hawaii and New England topping the list for U.S. getaways.

Kerper’s philosophy for serving her special client base is simple: “Eliminating surprises and informing clients of possible situations remain paramount for successful planning,” she says.

Just two of the many ways the company ensures client satisfaction are by using guides in each locale who are accustomed to working with special-needs travelers, and by following routes for various excursions that are specially designed to be easily navigated by wheelchair users. It currently has accessible staterooms set aside for an Alaskan cruise this summer and for a Mediterranean cruise in October, both with Royal Caribbean. Itineraries for 2023 are still in the works; check the site for updates.

Iceland Unlimited

Jón Gunnar Benjamínsson, a former tour guide, launched Iceland Unlimited in 2010 when he began using a wheelchair following a serious car accident. The Reykjavík-based company offers three types of trips: self-driving tours, tours with private drivers and guides, and small-group guided tours. Trip planning begins with a phone consultation to determine which of the three fits a client best.

No matter the physical challenge, everyone is accommodated. “No one is ever turned away,” says Lisa Zacchia, the company’s managing director. For example, a recent client who uses a wheelchair wanted an adventurous tour with his family, so the company arranged for them to ride atop a glacier in a modified Jeep. From there, they went snowmobiling atop Langjökull, Iceland’s second-largest glacier, a thrilling experience for the entire family. Guides helped the man into a snowmobile that one of them then drove.

Clients can book either day trips or multiday tours ranging from five to seven days in length. Besides glacier exploring, adventure activities include taking a wheelchair path to a nearly 200-foot-tall waterfall and touring an active geothermal area.

Morocco Accessibility Travel

Morocco may seem like an unlikely destination for physically challenged travelers due to the country’s centuries-old buildings (not built for elevators) and its lack of accessibility requirements. Enter Jeremy Schmidt, a U.S. physiotherapist who moved to the African nation and founded Morocco Accessibility Travel along with a partner in 2016.

The company offers day trips and five- to 14-day guided tours. Clients can visit imperial cities and venture into the Saharan Desert and other rural areas of the country. Other possibilities include wheelchair trekking through 1,200-year-old Fez Medina structures, chilling on an Agadir beach, riding on a camel with the help of an adapted saddle, and more.

“I will never forget sitting on that camel and looking out at the sand dunes in the Moroccan desert,” says Cory Lee, 32, whose usual ride is a powered wheelchair. “It was an experience I never thought would be accessible for me, but in that moment, I realized just how accommodating the world actually can be.”

Lee’s mother, Sandy Gilbreath, 52, who traveled to Morocco with him, is grateful that companies can make such adventures doable for her son. “When I see Cory showing others that anything is possible, regardless of one’s abilities, it makes me incredibly proud,” she says.

For those who prefer to travel independently, the company also provides accessible airport transfers from several Moroccan cities and rents medical equipment, such as wheelchairs and bedroom and bathroom mobility aids.

Tapooz Travel

Years of volunteering with an organization providing outdoor adventures for people with disabilities led spouses Aïcha Nyström and Laurent Roffé to launch San Francisco–based Tapooz Travel in 2012. “While I volunteered as a sea kayak guide and Aïcha served as a ski instructor, we were continually inspired by how much the disabled could do with a little help,” Roffé says, adding that they decided to open up more of the world to this community by starting a travel company focused on this market.

The company offers a comprehensive selection of individual and hosted trips. They range from five to 21 days and take clients to 30 domestic and international destinations, with California wine country, the Pacific Northwest and national parks ranking among the U.S. favorites. For getaways abroad, the Netherlands, Nepal, Scandinavia and Switzerland are popular.

Given the couple’s background, the trips feature adventure aplenty, including hot-air ballooning, kayaking, skiing, skydiving and surfing. Adaptive equipment and guides with extensive experience working with the disabled and seniors make such activities possible. “Having guides that truly understand the psychological and physical issues makes all the difference,” Roffé says.

Wheel the World

Even though paralyzed by a spinal cord injury, Chilean Alvaro Silberstein trekked through the mountainous terrain of Patagonia’s Torres del Paine National Park in 2016 with the help of friends and a modified wheelchair. “Reaching the top of the mountain provided a boost in my self-confidence,” Silberstein says, adding that it taught him he could do anything, despite his disability, with the right attitude and a little help. That revelation led him to launch this four-year-old company that gives other people like him the assistance they need to have amazing travel experiences.

In its short life, Wheel the World has grown quickly and now provides multiple travel services. Coming up in 2022, the company has accessible group tours to five destinations: New York City , Costa Rica, Greece, Israel and Morocco. On this summer’s five-day Big Apple trip, travelers can take an accessible stroll through Central Park, visit St. Patrick Cathedral, wander the streets of Little Italy and much more. The international trips vary from seven to 10 days.

For those not interested in a group tour, the company maintains an online platform travelers can use to book hotels, activities and multiday packaged trips in more than 80 destinations in the U.S. (Maui, Miami and San Francisco are especially popular) and abroad. The platform provides detailed accessibility information based on exhaustive vetting by the company’s own customer service team. Among the information included in hotel listings, for example, is whether front desks have lower check-in counters, whether restaurants are step-free, and how much turn space there is in guest-room bathrooms. Activity listings note the availability of accessible bathrooms, whether wheelchair users will encounter any obstacles, and more.

Touring the Top 10 Moscow Metro Stations

By Claudia Looi 2 Comments

Komsomolskaya metro station looks like a museum. It has vaulted ceilings and baroque decor.

Hidden underground, in the heart of Moscow, are historical and architectural treasures of Russia. These are Soviet-era creations – the metro stations of Moscow.

Our guide Maria introduced these elaborate metro stations as “the palaces for the people.” Built between 1937 and 1955, each station holds its own history and stories. Stalin had the idea of building beautiful underground spaces that the masses could enjoy. They would look like museums, art centers, concert halls, palaces and churches. Each would have a different theme. None would be alike.

The two-hour private tour was with a former Intourist tour guide named Maria. Maria lived in Moscow all her life and through the communist era of 60s to 90s. She has been a tour guide for more than 30 years. Being in her 60s, she moved rather quickly for her age. We traveled and crammed with Maria and other Muscovites on the metro to visit 10 different metro stations.

Arrow showing the direction of metro line 1 and 2

Moscow subways are very clean

To Maria, every street, metro and building told a story. I couldn’t keep up with her stories. I don’t remember most of what she said because I was just thrilled being in Moscow. Added to that, she spilled out so many Russian words and names, which to one who can’t read Cyrillic, sounded so foreign and could be easily forgotten.

The metro tour was the first part of our all day tour of Moscow with Maria. Here are the stations we visited:

1. Komsomolskaya Metro Station is the most beautiful of them all. Painted yellow and decorated with chandeliers, gold leaves and semi precious stones, the station looks like a stately museum. And possibly decorated like a palace. I saw Komsomolskaya first, before the rest of the stations upon arrival in Moscow by train from St. Petersburg.

2. Revolution Square Metro Station (Ploshchad Revolyutsii) has marble arches and 72 bronze sculptures designed by Alexey Dushkin. The marble arches are flanked by the bronze sculptures. If you look closely you will see passersby touching the bronze dog's nose. Legend has it that good luck comes to those who touch the dog's nose.

3. Arbatskaya Metro Station served as a shelter during the Soviet-era. It is one of the largest and the deepest metro stations in Moscow.

4. Biblioteka Imeni Lenina Metro Station was built in 1935 and named after the Russian State Library. It is located near the library and has a big mosaic portrait of Lenin and yellow ceramic tiles on the track walls.

5. Kievskaya Metro Station was one of the first to be completed in Moscow. Named after the capital city of Ukraine by Kiev-born, Nikita Khruschev, Stalin's successor.

Kievskaya Metro Station

6. Novoslobodskaya Metro Station was built in 1952. It has 32 stained glass murals with brass borders.

7. Kurskaya Metro Station was one of the first few to be built in Moscow in 1938. It has ceiling panels and artwork showing Soviet leadership, Soviet lifestyle and political power. It has a dome with patriotic slogans decorated with red stars representing the Soviet's World War II Hall of Fame. Kurskaya Metro Station is a must-visit station in Moscow.

8. Mayakovskaya Metro Station built in 1938. It was named after Russian poet Vladmir Mayakovsky. This is one of the most beautiful metro stations in the world with 34 mosaics painted by Alexander Deyneka.

9. Belorusskaya Metro Station is named after the people of Belarus. In the picture below, there are statues of 3 members of the Partisan Resistance in Belarus during World War II. The statues were sculpted by Sergei Orlov, S. Rabinovich and I. Slonim.

10. Teatralnaya Metro Station (Theatre Metro Station) is located near the Bolshoi Theatre.
