Fun Info & Disclosure

Time is so precious. Especially when it comesto planning your family vacation. So why waste it on lookingthrough hundreds of websites (most of them outdated) and readingthrough 300 page guidebooks that barely touch upon REAL familytravel and kid friendly places? With our family's hours ofresearching and personally experiencing each location, hotel andtour I hope this book will help you with your trip and give youmore time to do what you really love - being with your kids andgetting them excited for the new adventure!

Each hotel and tour has been tested andapproved by my family. We love the local and most authenticexperiences from boutique, locally owned hotels to the mosttypical, and educational tours!

The guide specifically stays away fromrestaurant recommendations because traveling with kids takes on awhole different feel and many kids are either picky eaters or don'tlike to sit through a fancy dinner.

What the guide (and I) do recommend andhighly promote is eating (or at least trying) local cuisines. Theguide helps you navigate through the most common cuisines of eachcountry and region. And most importantly to get the kids excitedabout experiencing new foods!

Now it's time to have some SERIOUS fun!
