FAMILY TRAVEL TOURS INTREPID
Go ahead, take the kids, too.

Intrepid Travel was the winner of the Best Tour Operator Award for 2006 in the Responsible Tourism Awards. They specialize in tours with small groups, so it feels like traveling with a group of friends, with a flexible guided structure allowing as much independent exploration as possible. They provide tours in different styles but have created tour experiences specifically for families with specially arranged activities. Far from just “child friendly”, Intrepid’s family adventure tours give the kids a chance to discover the world along with you.

There is as much for parents to do as the kids. The trips allow parents and children to travel together with the chance to spend quality time together, with the security and ease of an experienced leader. The last thing dad needs is for the kids to notice he’s reading the map upside down, right?

Family Tours to save your budget

Like the Swiss Family Robinson, take the kids on a real Swiss Family Adventure, 8 days from Geneva to Morgins, an Alps village of chalets and cow bells, with a visit to a goat farm and an Alpine ropes and ladders course. In Montreaux take in the history of knights and princesses in the fairy tale castle Chateau de Chillon. Take a paddle wheel boat ride across the Lake Geneva to a horseback trip through the Alps scenery. Learn how Swiss cheese is made and visit a real chocolate factory. In Chamonix take the cog railway to the ice caves on the Mer de Glace glacier.

The Europe Family Adventure tour is an 8 day east European journey from Prague, Czech Republic to Budapest, Hungary. Stroll across Praque’s famous Karlsbruck (Charles Bridge) lined with 400 year old statures of the Saints, featured in the “Mission Impossible” films to the magnificent Prague castle and enjoy traditional Czech Marionettes at a puppet theater performance. Travel to the 13th Century town of Cesky Krumlov for a cycling ride through the rural countryside, or go river rafting. In Vienna, play at the Prater Amusement Park and visit the imperial palace of the Hapsburgs. In Budapest, take a river cruise along the Danube or take the Hammer and Sickle tour for a look into Hungary’s communist era.

For a little longer trip, the Italy Family Adventure starts with once-in-a-lifetime Rome from ancient gladiators at the Colosseum to tossing a coin into the Trevi fountain. Visit Lucca in Tuscany for a cycling tour of the old city walls and see some of the art of magnificent Florence, and a day trip to the leaning tour in Pisa. Walk the paths of the Cinque Terre (the five lands) famous for its seaside landscapes. In Stresa on the indcredible Lago Maggiore in Northern Italy, take in the breathtaking scenery by boat on the lake and cable car ride to the mountain tops for a look at the Italian Alps. And last be not least, Venice, for exploring it’s canals and piazzas, not to mention Pizzas.

Lean back, relax and enjoy the style, food and culture of Europe. Let your kid read the map. © Bargain Travel Europe
