Why Guided Travel is Right for Families

It's easy to go on a family vacation like every other, to lie in the sun somewhere nice, or focus on keeping the kids entertained. But our family adventures are different - they're a more engaging way to travel, more enriching, and go way beyond the common cruise. Our guided vacations for families give your kids access to other cultures, and the most awe-inspiring places and animals on the planet. You get to meet the locals, learn new things, fulfill a dream or two, and experience an authentic slice of life. You do it all together while having unbelievable fun. 

Unique Access
Special experiences make our guided vacations for families uniquely exciting. Don 17th-century clothes during an early-opening visit to Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte, have dinner in a private palace and tour the Louvre, after hours, without crowds. Plus, do what the locals do… rock climb in Switzerland, zip line in Costa Rica, make pizza in Italy, saddle up with a cowboy in Bryce Canyon… 

Personal Insiders
Our family travel tours are led by Tauck Directors experienced in family travel. Caring and knowledgeable, they make sure your trip goes smoothly. And they team up with our local partners who know your destinations like the back of their hand, along with experts like equestrians, artists, naturalists, chefs and more. Onboard our European river cruises you'll find a dedicated Family Host who seamlessly orchestrates onboard fun in addition to 4 dedicated Tauck Directors.
