Trafalgar Family Tours Offer Unforgettable Family Experiences

In today’s busy world the one thing everyone wants to do is spend more time with family. We get an average of 12 paid vacation days a year in the U.S. and many people do not take them. That is one more day with your kids, giving them special memories and unique experiences, helping them understand first hand the different cultures around the world.   More importantly when you travel with your family, they get to do something that would be much more difficult 20 or even 10 years ago, meet new friends from all over the English speaking world. With social media they can now Skype with their new Australian friends or post pics from with their English and South African counterparts, of their unforgettable vacation. These friendships can create unique opportunities as they grow into adults and make the world a much smaller place.
