Hoi! Is het mogelijk om een rollater te gebruiken. Ik kan 'm voor kleine trapjes op en af eventueel inklappen zodat we m kunnen optillen. Ik hoor het graag, alvast bedankt!
A:
Het zou in theorie kunnen maar er zijn veel trappen en hellingen dus niet heel handig. Ik neem aan dat je slecht ter been bent en dan zou ik het niet aanraden.
So excited to come visit. We are visiting in October of this year. How far in advance should we purchase our tickets to make sure we can secure a spot on the tour?
A:
We booked the day before our visit but to be sure of time and day you want, best to book a week in advance.
