3 Day Family Package IcelandFantastic views, fantastic food and fantastic service!
Family Club - The Romantic Rhine Valley and the Rock of Lorelei (port-to-port cruise)The staff, Jon and Mickey, were great, the bus was always clean, and the people I met (from Australia, NZ, USA, South Africa, Canada) were lovely. Some meals were hit and miss, and the time spent on the bus was a bit long. Mount Pilatus and our stay in Brunnen were highlights, as were our folksy Swiss lunch and Parisian caberet. On the other hand, it was quite distressing to see how hard the horses worked on what we thought were carriage rides (we had 10 guests in each carriage, which made them horse-drawn buses). The hotels were often great if not in the centre of the city, or elderly if they were. Beds clean and comfy though.

What our customers ask about Family Tours & Trips in Western Europe
What's the best time of year to take a family trip to Western Europe?
Summer (June-August) offers optimal conditions for family travel across Western Europe with moderate temperatures and full access to attractions. Northern European destinations like Norway and Sweden see comfortable temperatures of 20-25°C quite warm. Many families opt for May or September to avoid peak summer heat. Winter brings its own appeal especially in Finland where families can visit Santa's hometown of Rovaniemi. A TourRadar traveler shares: "We visited in July and had perfect weather for all our outdoor adventures - rafting hiking and beach time. The long summer days meant we could really maximize our sightseeing."
What are the best family-friendly activities and attractions available in Western Europe?
Each country offers distinct experiences for families. Paris features child-focused tours of the Louvre and Versailles while Amsterdam combines canal rides with visits to the hands-on NEMO Science Museum. Germany's Neuschwanstein Castle lets children step into a real-life fairy tale setting. Italy delivers memorable experiences through pasta-making classes in Florence and gladiator training in Rome. A TourRadar traveler reports: "The adventures we went on as a family will be remembered forever! Rafting surfing hiking picnics...our guide David made everything run smoothly and shared fascinating knowledge about local sites history and gastronomy."
