In this blog series, we will discuss more benefits of traveling within the USA and Canada, as well as give you some great ideas for USA tours, Canada tours, family trips, adult-only itineraries, education tours, and more! In this blog, we will be discussing Family Friendly tours!

Family Friendly USA Tours

The United States is vastly underrated when it comes to amazing travel spots. Travel within our own country is a great way to involve family, young and old. Most places will involve a short plane trip which makes it easy to travel with children. Or if you are up for more of an adventure, or if your kids are good in the car, you can have the opportunity to save some money on the flight and take a road trip! Traveling within the United States also makes for a great opportunity for Grandparents to take their Grandkids on a memorable vacation without leaving the country!

Road trips make for an excellent way to see a lot of the country and take some fun stops along the way to your destination that you might have never thought of visiting.

USA Tour Companies

A couple of our favorite USA-based tour companies for families are Tauck Bridges and Adventures by Disney. Both of these tour companies specialize in smaller groups with plenty of children present. One of our customers said that traveling with Tauck Bridges was a great way for his grandkids to play with other children while he was able to enjoy time with the other parents and grandparents. The kids were always entertained by either the itinerary, activities the tour company provided, or playing with all the other kids during downtime. We work with many different tour companies, but what makes these two unique is that they specifically cater to families, so every itinerary will have something for kids and adults making this a great family vacation everyone will enjoy. Another great reason for traveling with a tour group is all your activities and even some of your meals will be included in the trip price!
