Summary
Traveling with elderly or mobility-impaired companions is extremely difficult because many historic destinations feature cobblestone streets, hills, stairs, and long walking distances. This severely limits destination choices and turns a potentially wonderful trip into a painful, exhausting ordeal. There are no reliable services that provide detailed step-free route planning or adaptive itineraries for these travelers, leaving families to struggle on their own and often forcing them to abandon bucket-list destinations.
