Tours

It’s an age-old question when travelling with kids: should we travel on our own or should we join a tour to make things a little easier?

A great family holiday means different things to different people. Each family must take into consideration budget, destination, the age of their kids and, perhaps most importantly, what kind of holiday you most enjoy – are you sun seekers yearning to flop down on a stretch of sand and relax or are you adventure types just itching to spot the Big Five with your own eyes?

From snow holidays to family-friendly safaris, tour operators have the added benefit of local knowledge and reliable customer service, so parents don’t have to stress about the little things and enjoy their time away as much as the little ones.

Even those who love nothing more than wandering around on their own during a trip away will have experienced a pang of curiosity when overhearing a gifted guide explaining the fascinating history of a place or felt just a little jealous about the idea of not having to work out the logistics of getting from A to B to following day.
