Activity Level and General Fitness All Long and Short Travel Adventures Inc tours require walking and other physical exertion. You can expect to walk 2-3 miles on average over the course of a day, navigate steps, get in and out of transportation, and manage your personal belongings without assistance. On some tours, especially European tours, the walking can increase to 5-7 miles of walking over the course of a day. For these reasons, our tours are not suitable for anyone physically challenged, anyone who is walking impaired, or a slow walker who cannot keep up with the pace of the group. We cannot provide individual assistance to you for walking, dining, getting on and off buses and trains, carrying baggage, or other personal needs. Persons needing such assistance must bring a qualified and physically able companion responsible for providing such assistance and/or services.

If a traveler chooses to go on a tour and then opt out of included activities, for whatever reason, no refund will be given.
