It’s Easter, and you know what that means: eggs, bunnies, chocolates and, most important of all, family. With the kids on school leave and time on your side to relax and be reminded of just how special spending vacation time together is, what better time to plan your next holiday, one the whole family will enjoy.
At Trafalgar, our family trips are redefining the idea of a multi-generational holiday, ensuring there are no bored children asking “can we go play now?” and no parents needing to find babysitters while they go out for their evening meal. We’ve created a series of multi-generational packages that cater to every member of the family so everyone can live their travel dreams. We pack each itinerary full of family-friendly activities, leisure time and hand-selected hotels so that adventure, culture and comfort go hand-in-hand. With included and optional experiences that fit everyone’s vacation-style, no one will feel left out. Best of all, with everything taken care of, everyone can do what they came to do away from the pressures and stress of everyday life – enjoy precious time together and make memories for everyone.
Become a Gladiator for the Day
Take a tour through Italy that’s full of food and fun. Grab your apron and let the flour fly as you learn to make pizza, real Italian pizza, during your day exploring the ancient wonders of Rome. But, before you take in the sights and scenery of one of Europe’s most historically significant cities, grab your sword and shield and get ready for an adventure that would put Spartacus to shame.
You’ll visit a gladiator school that was created for the young and young-at-heart, where your family will learn about Roman history before gearing up to practice some moves inside the arena. This family-friendly gladiator lesson will have you sparring like a Spartan and working up an appetite just in time for your pizza-making experience.
This is just the beginning of your Italian adventure, check out what else is waiting for you on our Gladiators, Gondolas and Gold trip.
Saddle Up for a Wild West Adventure
Get ready to giddy-up on a wild west holiday that will unleash your inner cowboy/cowgirl. What’s better than bringing your childhood fantasies to life alongside your children, as their imaginations come to life on this fun-filled family adventure. You’ll learn about life in America’s west, both past and present, and visit the natural and manmade landmarks that make this region so unique. From the faces on Mt. Rushmore to the rushing waters of Old Faithful, you’ll explore all the wonders of the great Northwest.
But, you’ll really get into the western state of mind when you rest your hat at a real-life, working ranch and learn how the cowboy lifestyle is alive and thriving out in the Montana countryside. Make the day your own and choose your adventure: head out with an expert wrangler and see what you can rustle up during your leisurely horseback ride through the Montana wilderness, ride the wild rapids on an adrenaline pumping white-water rafting expedition, or just kick off your boots and enjoy a relaxing afternoon on the ranch.
This is just a sample of the excitement your family will find out in the wild west, take a look at what else we have in store on the Wild West Cowboys and Buffalos trip.
