Hi,
I have traveled to uk, Spain, Portugal, Egypt, and morocco. I also had layovers in France and Germany.
 
All places were very easy for me to get assistance.
When presented with a wheelchair I just say no I really prefer walking and they are more than happy to help.
If you would like to hear more, I am happy to share travel experience.

>> Hello:
>> Although I have not traveled in Europe, I have traveled to Ghana, West Africa. 
>> I found that both Air Canada and Lufthanza were very good with providing assistance. 
>> The first time a arrived in Ghana the assistent insisted that I get into a wheel chair when I got on the bus to go from the plane to the airport terminal. No airplane bridges their. Everyone departs all aircraft and boards a bus to be transported to the airport. The wheel chair insident only happened once though. The second time I went back I had no problem. The assistent just let me take his arm and he guided me through the airport. 
>> When in Ghana everyone who doesn't know you personally and provides you a service of any kind is expected to get paid a small amount. I gave them 10 GHS, about $5.20 canadian. Strangely, this only happened on arrival, not when I departed the country. 
>> 
>> If anyone would like to know more about my travels to Ghana just ask.
