Europe is usually the first stop in an American traveller's career: What better place to begin a child's introduction to the wider world? Popular for their historic and cultural wealth, for their food, and for their traditionally relaxed, family-oriented lifestyles, England, Ireland, France and Italy are wonderful destinations for young and old.
So don't worry about the fact that "it rains every day" in England or Ireland. It doesn't. Summers have long stretches of warm and sunny weather, and the rain, when it comes, keeps the countryside lush, green and beautiful.
Food? French and Italian cuisines are of course world famous, and with Abercrombie & Kent you have the opportunity to savour them at their best. If you haven't visited Dublin lately, you'll be surprised by the gourmet revolution that has transformed local menus, and the same is true of the English countryside. Young travellers will find plenty to love too (though we can't recommend the deep-fried Mars Bars from neighborhood chip shops!).
Europe is known for its incredible art treasures - and for the incredible hordes of summer travellers they attract. Since a summer in Europe is a treat many families don't want to miss, A&K finds ways to shield its travellers from the crowds: by reserving exclusive and secluded hotels, scheduling sightseeing at quieter times of the day, and arranging for special "insider's access" to places most visitors don't see.
It's the best way to travel in Europe with your family: the A&K way. We handle all the details, you have all the fun.
