DOWNERS GROVE, IL – December 18, 2018… As travel horizons expand, families are increasingly interested in introducing children to new places, but unsure of how best to do it.

Expertly crafted to reveal the essence of a destination, each journey is led by a Resident Tour Director® who travels with the group from beginning to end, offering insight that only comes from being a local themselves. Interactive activities bring the destination to life, including a hands-on lesson in how to bake Egyptian-style bread and the chance to snorkel among sea lions or ride in a glass-bottom boat for a glimpse into life beneath the waves in the Galápagos. Each journey is designed to captivate curious minds, positively impress young hearts and foster a lifelong love for travel.
