  • Naples, Italy

    Will be taking a cruise in late spring and one of our ports will be Naples. Any guidance on how we might spend a day in the area separate from going to Pompeii? We are two travelers, one who uses a manual wheelchair.

    • Are you attempting Pompeii? We did Herculaneum instead. I was doable in a power chair. The viewing platforms and accessibility was excellent. Good luck…..otherwise just eat Pizza!!!

      • @Donna I wish we had gone to herculeum instead of! I was not using a wheelchair at the time but I am not sure Pompeii is easy on wheels. I remember the cobblestones being pretty uneven. The streets around Naples can probably be done in a wheelchair even if just to take in the views.

      • Japan on my bucket list

        Hi all. I enjoy travel and hubby and I are retired. He is able to walk a few yards but mostly uses a wheelchair when we travel. I am physically able to assist him, manage luggage, walk and push the chair. He has an electric chair for big outings. We have traveled Spain extensively as well as the US (home) but I have Japan on my bucket list.…

          • Manual Wheelchair Hire

            Hello, we are travelling the golden route in Japan, and I would like to rent a wheelchair for specific places, like in Tokyo and Kyoto. I don’t need it for the whole trip. Are there companies where I can just hire for a couple of days in certain places, without hiring for the full time we are there? Also do I need to book in advance or can I…

            • If you come to Osaka for a visit, I can offer rental services for an electric wheelchair. The model is WHILL Model F.
              Please note that at the moment, the wheelchair must be returned in Osaka and cannot be taken outside the city.

              If you’re interested, feel free to contact me at 99louyu@gmail.com 🙂

              • Hi! Thanks for your question 😊

                In general, we recommend booking in advance, as it can be difficult to arrange a wheelchair on the day depending on availability.

                Also, if your arrival and departure points are the same (for example, you’re staying in the same city and returning to the same place), it’s often easiest to rent for your full stay, so…
