Has anyone ever taken a Road Scholar trip?

10. Figure I should put in my two cents

I did a Road Scholar trip about eight years ago and vowed never to do another one. It was to the five ‘Stan’s and Iran.
First, they said there would only 18 people max on the trip. Turned out to be 26.
Second, they said that if any member could not keep up with the pace they would be sent back. One of the members had had a stroke several years before and was only partially ambulatory. She could not carry her luggage between the multiple, very difficult, ambulatory, border crossings this trip entailed. The entire two plus weeks she commandeered the tour leader and leaned on other members for assistance.
Third, on the Iran portion, the stroke victim was replaced by a pita senior lady who delighted in screaming at every turn that RS had to accommodate her due to the ADA act no matter what country we were in.
It was an interesting trip but just made very uncomfortable by people who should have never been accommodated due to the difficult aspects of the travel.
I now use Overseas Adventure Travel. I find that most of their travelers are fit to the level of difficulty for the particular tour.
