What makes a perfect trip for the children? Educational experiences? Check. Hands-on adventures? Without a doubt. There are many benefits of family travel, and at Trafalgar, we believe that our younger guests are just as important as our older ones. We take care to craft action-packed family itineraries that’ll impress the young, as well as the young at heart.
From getting up close and personal with exotic wildlife in Costa Rica to making Italian-style pizza in Rome, these kid-friendly trips are guaranteed to help you score points with the little ones.
We feed their imagination…and their bellies
What kid doesn’t love pizza? How about making it themselves in Italy? Our trips ensure kids not only taste delicious local cuisine but can get hands-on while making it, too. In Rome, your family will discover how to make authentic Italian pizza together, while in Switzerland they’ll spend the afternoon sampling rich creamy chocolate. Bon apetit!
History comes alive
Whether it’s uncovering the history of British Kings and Queens at the Tower of London, or experiencing life as a Roman soldier on Emperor Hadrian’s northern frontier, our immersive trips bring history to life. Kids can journey into the past with exciting introductions to historical icons like Billy the Kid in the Wild West, and can even try a lesson in combat at a gladiator school in Rome!
VIP entry
With VIP fast track access to many key sights (like St Petersburg’s Hermitage Museum or the Vatican in Rome), you and your little ones can skip the queues and spend more time exploring the icons.
Make friends with wildlife
Budding zoologists and botanists will get their nature kicks on our wildlife trips, which bring them right up close to amazing creatures. Join us in Costa Rica where they’ll witness sea turtles at a conservatory and watch exotic birds and monkeys as they swing across the jungle canopies. On safari in South Africa, your kids will come face to face with lions, giraffes and elephants, and in the USA take a family trip into the countryside on horseback for hours of fun.
Stay connected
Our coaches have Wi-Fi in most countries, so your brood can stay connected with their friends back home. Whether they’re sharing their travel snaps on social media or keeping amused playing games on their devices, we make sure your children are never bored while on the move.
Learn from the locals
Our passionate Local Specialists delight in sharing their insider stories with the little ones. Watch the kids gape and gawk as you wander around the rim of the Grand Canyon, learning about its formations from a local expert – or revel in some cultural fun at the Palazzo Vecchio’s Children’s Museum in Florence. Our Local Specialists in London will whisk your family around the British capital’s key sights including Harry Potter’s Platform 9¾ and Ministry of Magic red telephone box.
Family travel will set your child’s imagination alight. Speak to your travel agent today or take a look at some of our family trips to plan your next vacation with Trafalgar.
