FAMILY
Fun in the USA By Kylie Stokes (Travel Managers) The first thing most people think about when considering taking kids to America is Disneyland, but there's so much more to experience in this diverse country. One of the best ways to explore is by road, however renting a vehicle large enough to fit the whole family plus luggage can be difficult. With coach tour companies now creating itineraries specifically for families, escorted tours are becoming increasingly popular. So round up the troops and let leading guided holiday specialist, Trafalgar, take the hassle out of planning your next all-American family adventure. With the launch of their 2015 USA and Canada programme, Trafalgar offers tailor-made holidays catering to both the young and young at heart! From creating a sweet treat at Hershey’s Chocolate World to listening to tales of the Wild West on a rail journey to the Grand Canyon, your family will have many authentic insider experiences that will last a lifetime. See the USA from the inside with our pick of Trafalgar’s top three family getaways: [1] Say “Howdy” to cowboy country as the kids saddle up with a real-life horse wrangler on the nine day Wild West, Cowboys and Buffalos guided holiday. Learn about life on the ranch as you ride through Montana’s wilderness, explore the expansive Yellowstone National Park, and unwind in hand-picked Authentic Accommodation staying at a 1898 homestead. [2] The eight day California Dreamin’ guided holiday is sure to be a hit starting in visiting San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge, sea lions at Pier 39 and iconic Jelly Bean Factory. Later, enjoy a behind-the-scenes tour of Monterey’s aquarium and hike through Yosemite National Park. [3] For an inspiring history lesson like no other, embark on the eight day Trails of Liberty guided holiday and uncover America’s intricate past. Walk in the footsteps where history was made visiting Washington’s major landmarks, hear legends of the Civil War from a Shenandoah storyteller and experience family life within America’s tight-knit Amish community. Trafalgar’s Family Experiences feature plenty of free time, family-friendly hotels and dining and young traveller discounts of 10 percent are valid for children aged five – 17 years.
