11. Accessibility Description
The Renaissance, Baroque, and Ancient Rome Accessible Cruise
Excursion has a 4 Star Sage Accessibility Rating because it uses a
wheelchair accessible vehicle to transfer to Rome and between the
sights. The tour route is also completely step-free. A special wheelchair will
be used to go over the Roman ruins in the Roman Forum & Palatine Hill. It
did not quite receive a 5 Star Sage Accessibility Rating because wheelchair
users will encounter cobblestones when visiting the Pantheon and Trevi
Fountain in the city center.
