    Comfortable Explorer
    I’m comfortable being on my feet for parts of the day. I can handle light walking tours and standing during guided visits at museums and attractions. I can manage a variety of terrains, such as cobblestone streets to unpaved surfaces, and moderate inclines.

    May have to walk long distances from the bus parking lot at stadium to seats.
