GEN: Tours for disabled: NYC, Washington DC

[Rena Deutsch <renadeutsch@WORLDNET.ATT.NET>]

A relative from Israel will be coming to visit for 2 weeks starting April
7. As the result of a stroke a number of years back, he walks rather
slowly.  He has asked us to find information about tours to NYC and
Washington D.C. "but not for old people" (his words) -- He is around 40
years old.  He does not use a wheelchair, and will not for the purposes of
the tour, but I don't think he would mind being in a tour that has some
people in wheelchairs.
        I have checked with a friend who has M.S. and she gave me the name of
several websites, one of which (so far) has been promising. I also did a
search on yahoo, and got some stuff, but most of the tours I've seen are
either abroad or out west. I checked some books for traveling for the
disabled, but they mostly had info on wheelchair accessibility in
restaurants and hotels.
        So, if you have some information you could share -- quickly! -- I would be
very grateful!
TIA.
