Tour Operators

Accessible Horseback Riding ToursBy: Janet Ambrose
There are many different tour operators that offer accessible travel & tours. Some specialize in cruises, safaris, scuba diving, travel with service dogs, and group travel, while others can arrange a wide variety of tours for individuals or groups. Many U.S. based tour operators offer trips around the country as well as Europe, Australia, U.K., and other parts of the world. If you know where you want to go, then your search for a tour should be easy. However, if you unsure about where you want to go, then you may have a hard time picking just one! We have done our best to find every tour operator offering accessible tours. Check Adventure Travel for more options and don't forget to do some research using our access guides and message boards.
