Sightseeing tours for people with limited mobility were tested in Sochi, as the official website of the resort city says.
The resident of Sochi Zinaida Novikova came from Dagomys in order to see the revived “Nadezhda” villa. She has been waiting for the opening of Khudekovy’s House all her life. The old mansion has remained ruined for 40 years. “Now there is no obstacles, the approach ramp is placed at the entrance. Everything is very convenient for physically challenged people” – Novikova noted. 5 rooms are open for visitors today. All furniture was recreated following the drawings and photographs of previous years. With only one amendment - wheelchair users can now freely move through the estate.
“We have developed the routes suitable for wheelchair users. Today’s event is only a test tour, here we try the dynamics of such events for people with limited mobility”- the organizer of the club “School of the young tour guides” in Sochi Ramil Mukhamedshin said.
