ILoveScotland Posted August 16, 2008 #1 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I'll post this on the Disabled Cruisers threads but thought I'd also ask if anyone can tell me about tours or activities or simply general sightseeing around the city for someone in a wheelchair. DH is in a wheelchair, and I have pushed him over the cobblestoned streets of Rome and various Eastern Mediterranean ports so we're experienced with that part of our travel these days. But I'd like to do some kind of hop-on-hop-off bus tour or something like that as well. Any recommendtions? We arrive in Vancouver at noon on August 28th and essentially have that afternoon and early evening. Our cruise leaves the next day so our only plans will be to get up and over to the ship about noon. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftcoastBC Posted August 17, 2008 #2 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Sorry I can not help on the Tours.. but I can tell you that the city of Vancouver generally is/will be user friendly for you and your husband. The present mayor of the city is a Quad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putterdude Posted August 19, 2008 #3 Share Posted August 19, 2008 DW has MS so I understand. You will find that Vancouver is very accessable maybe not quite as advanced as some cities but right up there. Most transit and tour buses are equipped to handle chairs and there are curb letdowns at almost every street corner. There are accessable restrooms in most buildings and attractions.

EJ'S MOM-MOM Posted August 19, 2008 #4 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I don't know if this company can handle a HC person but you can write & ask them. It is a hop on-hop off tour bus. Hope it helps you. Here is their link: http://bigbus.ca/index.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The woman I spoke to was very helpful and said they can take my husband as long as he can get on and off the bus with my help. That's exactly the information I needed' date=' so a big thank you for the information![/b'] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
