Beyond the Backyard Barbecue

If you've run out of creative family reunion vacation ideas, there's no better way to get the whole clan together than by having the time of your lives in the world's most exciting places. Picture your family exploring great cultures and the glories of Mother Nature together, with fun activities for all ages to share. Tauck Bridges family trips are scheduled for summer months and school breaks, making vacation planning easy. Easiest of all, we take care of all the details for you, so that you're able to focus on what truly matters... time spent together and experiences that will be remembered forever.

Imagine seeing Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel as a family on a crowd-free, after-hours tour of the Vatican, or exploring the Louvre on a scavenger hunt for young and older alike when it's closed to the public. Picture your family on our new riverboat cruise on Portugal's Douro River, where your floating hotel travels with you as you discover storied places on hikes, bicycle rides and more, and our dedicated Family Host enhances your river cruise with onboard activities. 

We'll take you rafting in America's canyonlands, gold panning in Alaska, and zip lining in a Costa Rican rainforest. You'll meet cowboys, chefs, nobility, and artists. Play pétanque in France, paint pottery in Peru and make pizza in Italy. Go where the wild things are in the Galápagos, Costa Rica and Tanzania. Exploring faraway places together will bring your family closer to each other.
