  • D

    Danielle

    Asked on June 14th, 2026

    I'd be travelling with daughter and teen grand daughters age 16,17. Is this primarily an adult tour? They are mature kids but don't want them to feel they are on strictly an adult trip. Also how many would be in the group on this particular date?

    Age Range
    Group size
    • TrafalgarOperatorWritten June 2026

      While this journey is designed for adults, we warmly welcome guests aged 5 and above. At ages 16 and 17, your granddaughters are very much within the recommended age range and will be able to enjoy the experience. The tour combines cultural sightseeing, guided commentary, and leisure time, so mature teens often find it engaging and enriching rather than feeling it is "strictly an adult trip." Our Travel Directors are experienced in hosting multi-generational groups, and your family will be part of a diverse mix of travelers who share a love of exploring Europe. The pace is comfortable, with opportunities to enjoy iconic sites, local dining, and free time together. We're confident your granddaughters will feel included and inspired by the itinerary. For this tour, the maximum group size is 52 guests. Actual numbers may vary depending on bookings for the specific date, but you can expect a group of no more than 52 travelers.

    Amelia

    Asked on June 4th, 2024

    Is it possible to do this tour but not the last two days? We need to be in Lille on the 3rd August so would need to leave on Day 5.

    Tour Details
    Transport
    • TrafalgarOperatorWritten June 2024

      Yes, it is an option. However, you would be reserving 3 spaces for the entire tour so there would be no discount for leaving early. May I ask how old the child will be at the time of travel?

    • A

      Amelia

      TravelerWritten June 2024

      The child will be 15. If we leave on day 5 is there any possibility to transfer our transport to Paris on that day?

    • TrafalgarOperatorWritten June 2024

      If you choose to leave on Day 5 of the trip, please note that we do not offer airport transfers on that day. Our complimentary departure transfer is only available on the last day of the trip. Additionally, if you decide to end the tour earlier than the scheduled end, the price will remain the same, and there will be no refunds for any missed activities or sightseeing.

    Robyn

    Asked on October 1st, 2016

    I was just wondering whether it is possible to take a 22 month old on this tour?

    Other
    • TrafalgarOperatorWritten October 2016

      We do not work with any tour operators offering scheduled, group coach tours in Europe for children under five years old. The reason for this, is the tour itineraries keep you very busy and the drives from city to city are often quite long.
