So they set out on a journey, the four of them. At first both the professor and the mercenary were against taking along the two nosy youngsters, since they were only kids and were thought to get in the way.

My question is regarding the use of “were thought to get in the way”, does it sound right? Is it grammatically correct?

Thanks.
