Take Your Family on a Guided Vacation

Incredible Destinations, Expert Tours & Stress-Free Travel
AAA Travel Team

Imagine a family vacation where an expert guides you and ensures you see the best sites and enjoy the best tastes of a city. You don’t have to worry about the details. Just sit back and enjoy the experience. If that sounds like your style – you should discover Guided Vacations.

This isn’t your grandparents’ guided vacation – packed into a bus and carted from place to place to check the box you were there. These vacations come in all types and sizes. You can choose from adventure vacations, luxury, cultural, and more. And many of the family options are smaller groups providing more intimate experiences.

Let’s look in more detail at the great benefits of guided vacations and some great family options that may be perfect for your next vacation.

It’s Taken Care Of

One of the most wonderful things about a guided vacation is that all your logistics are taken care of, from your itinerary and hotels to your tours and meals. Everything is mapped out for you and your family, whether you’re sailing the Greek Islands or touring Costa Rica. This makes summer vacation planning and the vacation itself super easy for the vacation planner.

Someone else takes care of all the driving and transportation. You and your family can ride comfortably, relax, and enjoy the scenery.

Guided Experience & Access

You’ll learn from knowledgeable local tour guides. They’re your source of information about your destination's culture, history, sights, and details, so you don’t have to do the research. And tours focused on families are specifically developed to engage the kids.

Get behind-the-scenes access to see and do things you couldn’t do on your own, often led by special professional experts like an archery pro in England or a local pasta maker in Italy.

Meet New People, Make New Friends

Make new friends on the trip. As you travel with other families, you and the kids will meet new people, and your kids will have fun hanging out with other kids.

Traveling with a group also allows your family to feel safe wherever you go.

Save Time & Money

In addition to saving planning time, group tour options are often more affordable thanks to their all-inclusive pricing.

And group travel reduces your environmental impact. It leaves a much lighter carbon footprint than if everyone had their own transportation.
