Southeast Asia

Spend 12 sensational family days with G Adventures in April traveling along the coast of Southeast Asia from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City. The journey begins in Hanoi with a cycling tour of the Old Quarter. You will be wowed and awed as you explore ancient lands, but the adventure is just starting. During these twelve days, you’ll also cruise along Halong Bay, have the chance to visit the Royal Tombs, and visit Tien Mu Pagoda.  You can attend a cooking school, board a riverboat, enjoy a traditional dinner with a local family, and much more.

The weather here is beautiful, warm and a little humid, but perhaps the best part is that children as young as the age of 6 are welcome.

Swiss Alps 

Can you imagine spending eight family fun days in the Swiss Alps?  Your holiday with Tauck begins in Zurich, Switzerland staying in a 19th-century grand hotel. Each guest room is allocated with a special guest with a unique history. Over the next seven days, your family will journey across Lake Lucerne, board the Grand Glacier Express, rock climb, mountain hike, participate in a fun-filled evening that starts with a horse-drawn carriage, visit the Alpine cheesery, and more. After many wonderful days, the tour ends in Munich, Germany. A dozen tour dates are available, beginning in July and ending in December, enabling you to choose the kind of weather you want for your vacation. 

Peru

With dates available from July to December, a ten-day tour into the mysterious country of Peru with Intrepid sounds absolutely wonderful.

The adventure begins in Lima, the largest city in Peru, and ends in Cuzco, a city packed with intriguing history that holds just as many questions as it does answers.

On day one, you will explore hidden catacombs that connect through ancient tunnels underneath Lima. Later, take in the scenic, architectural sites, traverse through the jungle, and observe the native wildlife.

Throughout your ten-day journey, your family will eat local cuisine, trek through museums, shop at markets located in Pisac, and discover the past life of the Inca Empire.

Two days later, board the Eurostar train to Paris where you’ll have a spectacular view of the Eiffel Tower, and become inspired when your family strolls through the iconic Louvre Museum.  

South Africa

If you lean towards a more exotic adventure, consider an Intrepid trip to South Africa. Start the adventure in the city of Johannesburg, a large and dynamic city that was borne from a local gold rush. During your tour, you will discover the history and the mysteries of Africa. This is only the start to 12 days filled with beautiful African scenery as you meander through fascinating plains and view the world’s largest population of white rhinos.

Before ending your tour back in Johannesburg, your family will have the chance to hike Blyde River Canyon, an alluring sight with lush green, mountainous formations.
