Group travel often requires a unique blend of adventuresome spirit, physical and mental alertness, and a capacity for accepting situations as they arise. AAA Group Travel understands that different people have different preferences when it comes to the pace of their travel experiences; therefore, we have developed group tours with a variety of activity levels to choose from. AAA Group Travel activity levels are designed to help travelers select the pace that is right for them. Please refer to the tour description or consult with your AAA Travel Advisor for specific group tour activity level information.
AAA Group Travel endeavors to accommodate special access needs but cannot guarantee we will be able to do so. Certain itineraries may be inaccessible or not suitable for travelers with limited mobility. AAA Group Travel Tour Hosts are responsible for all travelers and tour components of a group tour.

AAA Group Travel requests that travelers report any mobility needs in advance of booking in order for us to evaluate the feasibility of a particular tour. Travelers needing assistance are required to travel with a companion who is willing and able to provide services or assistance to the traveler for the entirety of the trip, at the traveler’s own expense. The failure to report any needs in advance of a group tour or arrival at a departure without a companion if needed, may result in the inability to provide services and/or cancellation without refund, at AAA Group Travel’s sole discretion.
