In Venice the shuttle bus is ramped for wheelchairs. Also the water buses are accessible to wheelchairs - great fun !

Malaga - one shuttle bus had a lift for wheelchairs, short walk/push into the beautiful city. Very easy we found.

Corfu - we used shuttle bus but had to put wheelchair in boot and manage steps into bus. Not too difficult for us. Short walk to city

Dubrovnik - a nightmare. Often a tender port, getting into tender from ship not too bad but getting out for shuttle bus not at all easy. Exhausting. Dubrovnik was a let down for us - the city is like a stage set for a film and in our opinion has no soul ( probably to do with the dreadful time of the civil war and subsequent rebuilding etc). If you are at anchor you are in a lovely bay and a stay on the ship would  be very pleasant.
