Activity 1 tours
Has anyone found any Tauck activity, one tours in Europe or Britain? I have a broken ankle that will not heal. Thank you!

I don't see a search filter for activity on tauck.com, so you'll have to go through them one by one. However, my guess is a riverboat cruise would be your best bet and good place to start looking at the tour info.
I don't ever recall seeing one. Even river cruises require you to be able to handle some stairs and often narrow difficult gang planks getting off and on the ship. Tauck is up front that the won't provide individual assistance for guests with walking difficulties.
Most of the river cruises we’ve taken felt like an activity 1 even though it wasn’t listed as such. They all had a “mellow yellow” walking option for those with mobility issues.
If you have been on Tauck River cruises before, then you can estimate what challenges you will have. Also, you can talk to Tauck and I’m sure their River cruise specialist can answer your specific questions and needs.
Not knowing the persons actual physical limitations makes this hard to answer. I had a broken ankle once in college and had a walking cast. I could walk and do stairs but certainly wasn't very fast. If I'd been on crutches, a river cruise let alone a land tour would have been extremely difficult. I've known people on river cruises who had physical limitations that meant they either pretty much stayed on board or one lady who was traveling with 3 other adults to help her.
CachelleGaudagnino - I have seen tours with a pace of one (1) but not an activity level of one (1). I would consult with your orthopedist to understand why your ankle is not healing before booking any tour and/or asking if it is recommended to travel right now. Just my opinion.
I agree with BKMD that the river cruises might be a good place to start but they are all rated two (2) with respect to activity and pace levels.
Best of luck with your healing.
