Accessibility Information – What can I expect from this event?
Tours do not have a limited number of participants who can turn up, so the meeting point may be busy. However, the maximum tour group size is 15, so attendees may be split up at the tour start to create multiple groups.
Tours will involve walking in a group with Captains and students, you may wish to talk amongst yourselves on the tour or listen to the captains pointing out locations in the city and giving insights into the city (such as facts or advice). There could be a high level of noise from the city, which gets busy with large groups of people at times. You will not be expected to speak to anyone if you do not wish to.
If you need a break then please let a captain know. If you wish to leave the tour, you may do so, you do not need to inform a Captain but can speak to them if you have any concerns or queries before you leave.
Although the route is mostly flat, it will involve walking up some steep paths and so may not be suitable for wheelchair users or those with mobility issues.
