Trafalgar Knows What Kids Like

From Harry Potter to Hershey’s chocolate

Trafalgar knows the value of quality time for families. The travel company wants to help clients maximize their vacations and perfectly tailor their time off for hassle-free travel to some of the top destinations of Europe, Britain, the U.S., Costa Rica and South Africa.

To cater to families, Trafalgar’s ‘Family Experiences’ trips this year include nine unique itineraries in 11 countries, specially designed with multi-generational families in mind.

Pilgrims and Patriots

New for 2018 Trafalgar’s nine-day ‘Family Experience’ known as ‘Pilgrims and Patriots’ allows clients to discover a treasure trove of U.S. pioneer and revolutionary tragedies and triumphs.

Families will have the opportunity to take part in a Trafalgar ‘Be My Guest’ experience and enjoy a lunch with three generations of an Amish family who will treat guests to homemade Pennsylvania Dutch cooking.

Children will also have the chance to make their own candy bar at the Hershey’s Chocolate Factory in Hershey, PA.

Castles & Kilts

An ultimate trip for families who love all things Brit. Featuring the best of the UK’s history and pop culture, kids and parents alike will enjoy a visit to the picturesque town of Lacock, where they’ll see Harry Potter’s house and head to platform 9 3/4 to see if they can catch a glimpse of the Hogwarts Express.

There’s also a stop at Oxford University, where families can see the dining hall that served as inspiration for Hogwarts Hall. Travellers will also have the chance to stay in the 13th century Ruthin Castle in North Wales, which has its original moat and acres of parkland.

Monkeys, Jungles and Volcanoes

An eight-day adventure that lets families get up close and personal with turtles, monkeys, butterflies and more as they explore the tropical rainforests on this guided holiday of Costa Rica.

Highlights include a visit to the Tortuguero National Park, a canal cruise in search of wildlife with a naturalist guide and snacking on organic pineapple. It all ends with an exhilarating zipline canopy safari.
