Due to the nature of the ancient streets of Rome it is not always possible for the stops to drop you at the attraction, however they are planned to be as close as possible.

We want everyone to be a part of our tours and hence there are special arrangements for wheelchair ramps. The wheelchairs can be collapsed down and stored on the bus. Unfortunately, electric wheelchairs cannot be accommodated due to technical reasons.
