Family Adventures
We have a range of adventures to suit families with children as young as 2. On many of our self guided cycling trips we arrange bike trailers which accommodate up to 2 children to a maximum of 40-60kgs (depending on specifications), and trail-a-bikes for 4-9 year olds. Our self guided walks are suitable for active children from 8 years old, while our guided Mont Blanc Family Adventure is for children from 7 years. Discounts are usually available for children under 12 years when sharing a room with two adults.
Here are a few of our trips which are particularly suited to families:-
- Mont Blanc Family Adventure - A special family walk around Mont Blanc through France, Italy and Switzerland, with superb views and staying in a combination of mountain refuges and gites.

- Villages of Provence - a walking version of our cycle trip, suitable for kids from 8 years. There is always an option to shorten walks by taking taxi's for some stages.
- Barge & Bike Holidays - up to 50% discount available for kids travelling with 2 adults. Explore the canalways and rural landscapes of Holland, Belgium and France at handlebar level.

The quiet back roads and dedicated cycle and walking paths of the Loire Valley are ideal for exploring the many chateaux and vineyards.

- Treasures of Tuscany - choose from a 7 or 11 day self guided walk from Voterra to Siena or Florence. The Tuscan countryside is perfect for rambling with the family. Children as young as 8 can join in this trip.
- Volcanoes of Sicily - take the family to explore the Aeolian Islands and the stunning volcanoes of Stromboli and Etna. As the trip involves day walks there is flexibility. Unfortunately the climb of Stromboli is not considered suitable for children.
- Danube Cycle trips - Our boat based cycle trips and the section between Passau and Vienna are ideal for children. Following the Danube cycle path the route is generally flat and perfect for taking in the scenery and the many castles and monuments that overlook the river.
