Yes—many tulou allow interior visits and guided access to public courtyards, though private rooms remain occupied; there are stairs and narrow corridors to navigate.
The itinerary includes a short ferry transfer to Gulangyu of about 7–10 minutes; timings depend on the harbor schedule.
The tour note says stroller-accessible in general, but some village lanes and tulou interiors have steps that may make stroller use difficult; infant seats are available in the vehicle.
