        Walking Requirements

        When traveling internationally on a pilgrimage, it's important to understand the physical demands of the journey, including walking, commuting, and visiting various sacred sites.

        • Daily Activity: While each day varies, a general guideline is to expect 3-4 hours of walking or standing per day. Please note, this is an average estimate and can vary based on the day's itinerary.

        • Rest Breaks: If you find yourself needing additional rest, don't hesitate to inform your tour leader. They are equipped to suggest the best times and places for rest, ensuring you have a comfortable experience.

        • Expectations and Challenges: International destinations have landscapes that may pose challenges for wheelchair users, including uneven streets and limited ramp access at certain historical sites. It's important to be prepared for these challenges.

        Wheelchair Travel Requirements:

        1. Mobility: Ability to navigate stairs and have some degree of mobility.

        2. Companion Requirement: Traveling with a companion who can assist is necessary. Glimmer Tours is unable to provide assistance.

        3. Personal Wheelchair: We do not provide wheelchair rentals, so bringing your own is necessary.

        4. Wheelchair Type: If you require a wheelchair or another walking assistance device, it must be manual (non-electric and non-motorized).
