I have been back from my post secondary transition program for about five months now. One of the things I miss is our annual trips. I never liked traveling at all; much too overwhelming. But during these trips - three in total - I only ever had two small meltdowns. And of course I had the staff to help me. We had itineraries and there was structure. It helped me learn so much about what I like in a vacation.
I have found some services that provide guided vacations with staff for adults with I/DD and some types of mobility challenges. I am unsure if any of these places are good and especially with the prices I want to know more. Reviews online are sparse, but all of these companies have tons of trips and talk about the many travelers they support. I suspect there is not much simply because a lot of disability specific services travel by word of mouth and not online reviews. So I am asking for the words from your mouths (or your fingers) if you have them. Also if you have any other ideas on how to find out more than just what is on their websites or what questions to ask them to learn more.
Also if you have any travel ideas/ tips for a person with medium support needs and an inability to travel solo.
Here are the links to the companies I have looked at thus far:
