Hi, is the route step free please? My daughter and I use mobility scooters and her friend an electric wheelchair. Her friend does tours of Canterbury for friends and study medieval history at University and partner works in museums in Kent. Thanks
Hello Andrea, yes the Medieval Norwich tour is step free, with a riverside detour to avoid the cobbles and narrow paths of Elm Hill. Would you like to arrange a tour? Best wishes Paul
