Many of the sites that we visit have very limited access for those with impaired mobility. Anyone requiring assistance with mobility must be accompanied by someone who can and will provide assistance. Participants should have sufficient stamina to keep pace with an active group of travelers on long days of touring. If your mobility is limited, prior to beginning your trip we will be glad to work with our travel vendors to find out what aspects of the program would be accessible to you and what you may have to forgot. We also can attempt to find out what special accommodations might be arranged for you at additional cost. For further information on specific trip requirements, please contact the Emory Travel Program at 404.727.7150.
Single Travelers All of our programs offer a limited number of accommodations for single travelers on a first-come-first-served basis for an additional fee.
