This week we are presenting THE BEST KIDS FRIENDLY TOURS AROUND THE WORLD.
This list is compiled based on personal experience while traveling with own three kids and feedback from our multiple clients.
One word to describe this kids friendly tour is FANTASTIC! They act as a true concierge servce working with clients before and during the tour satsfying any crazy request clients might have. Kids are completely engaged for duration of the tour whether it lasts 4 or 8 hours. During the tour families visit 'standard' landmarks and many off beaten path places. Our kids still remember Treasure Hunt conducted on the premises of Small Academy of Arts.

2. Orientation tour around Barcelona Gothic Quarter by Runner Bean Tours
A fun walking tour for all the family filled with activities for the children, stories, games and songs that will keep your kids begging you to bring them back to Barcelona.
Giants that come alive. Trees that speak through their leaves. Medieval legends of kings and queens. All this and more while learning, playing and walking through the magical background of the Gothic Quarter surrounded by its hidden corners and beautiful squares. Travel back in time with us listening to the medieval stories of the past. Visit the workshops where giants are made, hear about the Romans who founded the city, enter the trendiest candy shop and sing your way into Catalan traditions.
3. Ancient Rome Discovery by Context Travel
Ancient Rome Discovery brings families into the archaeological heart of Rome where we encounter the stories of Romulus and Remus, the artistic and political achievements of the emperors, and the everyday lives of ancient Roman citizens. Centered around the Colosseum, the emphasis is on engaging with the young people in the group and helping them begin to frame and understand some key concepts about ancient Rome. We have so many parents who told us that after this tour kids told them that they want to be archeologists.
4. British Museum for families by Context Travel
The walk will focus on the idea of collecting and how it developed in England around the eighteenth century. We will also pick a theme or a particular civilization and follow its development throughout time while navigating the museum. We may, for instance, focus on the development of scripture from cuneiform to hieroglyphic to our modern alphabet, using tools like the Rosetta Stone and other ancient inscriptions.
5. The Louvre Treasure Hunt by Unique Paris
This Louvre treasure hunt was designed for families with young children (between 6 and 12 years old) to visit the Louvre museum with a licensed guide in a more kid-friendly engaging way. Most of the time, with a classic guided tour, young kids lose attention within the first 15 minutes and only their parents are truly enjoying the visit. With this treasure hunt, a true prize competition will split the family in 2 teams. At the beginning of the tour, the guide will explain the rules and hand over 1 questionnaire with around 40 different questions/enigmas to solve and paintings/sculptures to recognize or photograph. The treasure hunt visit will go through a broad range of collections (Greek and Roman, Renaissance Italian, French), asking specific and detailed questions about many of the Louvre's masterpieces.
