Mesa Verde, New Mexico

The Southern California tour will have more attractions this year, and more time in San Diego.

The Land of Enchantment tour is essentially the same as the previous Santa Fe tour, with the addition of Carlsbad Caverns, by request.

The Western Canyons tour is the same as our Grand Canyon tour has been, but re-named to include the other parks.

Grand Prismatic Hot Spring, Yellowstone

After holding prices for the past 3 years, we must, unfortunately, raise them by about 10 percent this year. We had been absorbing substantial increases by hotels and activities and, of course, fuel.

Here is information for those of you who have just discovered Access Tours: Typically, there are only 8 or 10 guests per tour, so if a tour appeals to you, please call right away for your reservation, or you may find your choice already full. Conversely, in the past 21 years we have only canceled a couple of tours due to lack of interest.

Bryce Canyon, Utah

We often create special, or custom, tours. If you and at least 5 others would like one of your own, please contact us to discuss the possibilities.

About the dates of our tours — we try to schedule tours so that the weather will be warm, but not hot, for those who have a difficult time in the heat. Of course, we can only play the averages and the climate is changing, but it usually works.

 
Singles are welcome on Access Tours and able-bodied people who find our tours to their liking often join us. Vehicles are wheelchair lift equipped.

Grand Canyon

 
For those of you considering our tours for the first time, you should know that Access Tours offers learning travel experiences and you are given the Story Behind the Scenery, not just windshield views of places visited. This is why our tours are of particular areas, instead of large regions. We spend a great deal of time in selecting wonderful destinations and activities for you to experience. We also take much time in finding the most suitable hotels available for your special needs. Accessibility may never be perfect, but we make it pretty comfortable, so that your journey will be full of terrific memories.

Access Tours is a service of Access Institute, a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization, and we are always most appreciative of the tax-deductible contributions that many people make, both in-kind (vehicles or stocks, etc.) and money. They have helped greatly to keep Access going. There are always needs, whether to help someone be able to take a tour who might not be able to otherwise, to acquire equipment, or attempting to raise funds for a new bus for next year.

Lastly, thank you for taking the trouble to search for us. It isn't easy, I know, as Internet searches are often tedious. Many key words are used such as accessible tours or travel, disabled tours or travel, wheelchair tours or travel, slow walkers, and we still might be difficult to find.
