What makes a family trip really special?
Traveling with your children... that is something almost everyone dreams of! Going on adventures together, discovering new places, meeting other cultures and doing the most fun activities. It's exactly those moments when you make the most beautiful memories together. At Young Travel Company, we know all about that-family travel is our specialty. But what actually makes a trip with us different from a "regular" vacation? I'd love to explain that to you!
- Plenty of variety along the route
A good family trip offers variety—we understand that all too well. As a child, you probably didn’t want to visit yet another church or market… and that hasn’t changed today. After two temples, most kids have really seen enough. As my own child once said, “Canoeing again? Didn’t we do that the day before yesterday?” That’s why we build a nice mix into every trip: a little culture, some active fun, plenty of relaxation… so everyone stays happy.
- Active Travel
Sitting still isn’t an option for most kids—and let’s be honest: often not for parents either. That’s why we offer an active mix. No spending the whole day staring out the bus window—instead, let’s get out and explore! Bike tours in almost every country, ziplining, rafting, mountain biking, kayaking, or horseback riding… there’s always something fun to do. Traveling with us is never boring. - Staying Multiple Nights at One Hotel
Packing and unpacking every day is exhausting—especially with kids. Not only do you have your own belongings, but often their suitcase needs to be repacked as well. And teenagers… they tend to leave things lying around everywhere. That’s why, with us, you’ll often stay in the same place for several nights. Take a moment to unwind after a busy day, get some rest, and then you’ll be ready for new adventures.
- Child-Friendly Hotels
After a day full of activities, kids just want to chill out. A dip in the pool, good Wi-Fi to stay in touch with the family back home, or just running around in the garden for the little ones. That’s why we select hotels that are truly child-friendly. And of course, they’re conveniently located, so you can step right out the door in the evening for a bite to eat or to run a quick errand.
- Not too long a drive
Adults can often handle long car or bus rides if they know something wonderful is waiting for them. Kids… not so much. That’s why we keep travel distances short and manageable. That way, everyone stays happy, and there’s still plenty of time left for fun activities that day.
Dreaming of a special family trip?
At Young Travel Company, I tailor every trip entirely to your needs. Whether you already have a country in mind or are still exploring your options, I’d love to help you plan your trip. Since I’ve visited all these countries myself, I can perfectly assess which trip is truly right for you.
For nature lovers—Do you want to enjoy breathtaking natural scenery? Then Costa Rica, Iceland, and Malaysia & Borneo are highly recommended.
Do you dream of safaris? Then South Africa and Tanzania are the perfect destinations for you. But did you know that you can also spot amazing wildlife in Borneo? Think orangutans, proboscis monkeys, and many unique birds.
For culture, Asia is definitely the place to be. But Mexico is also a country where you can fully immerse yourself in traditions, history, and vibrant colors. And in Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Thailand, you’ll find a beautiful blend of nature and culture.
But there is also a difference in how you travel around.
Hit the road in a rental car—Want to set your own pace? In Costa Rica, Mexico, Iceland, South Africa, and Malaysia, you can easily travel independently. Stop wherever you want, while your accommodations are already taken care of.
Traveling by public transportation – Sustainable , relaxed, and the best way to really get to know a country. Japan is hands-down the best country in the world for public transportation: everything works flawlessly. But you can also travel long distances comfortably by train in Thailand and Vietnam. The overnight train is especially recommended when traveling with children. Adventure guaranteed!
Private Driver for Ultimate Convenience – Want complete peace of mind and comfort? Then choose a tour with a private driver. In Sri Lanka, you’ll travel with a driver who also serves as a guide and knows all the best spots—and will even keep an eye on things if you want to visit one more temple but your kids have had enough.
And how about a tour of Tanzania’s most beautiful national parks with your own private guide and driver? An experience you’ll never forget.
You don't only have to travel during the summer vacations.
Also in the other school vacations you can get away from it all. How about a short but impressive round trip through Morocco, Jordan or Iceland? Perfect for a week away full of adventure!
