      We have 7 people booked on this tour so far (18 max per group) and out of these 7, 3 are children aged 12, 14 and 16 so I think your son would fit in very well.

    • Explore!OperatorWritten December 2024

      Family Tours are specifically designed for families traveling with children. Unfortunately, these tours are not available for booking if you are not traveling with a child. This ensures the experience remains focused on creating a family-friendly atmosphere and catering to the needs of young travelers and their families.

    Sad to see your dates do not conform with European Easter week. The trip should start on Saturday 01.04 and finish latest monday 10.04. Families in Europe start back at school on 11.04
