[quote=Anonymous]We have really loved all of our travels with our kids. There are challenges to overcome - dealing with set lag, helping find food for a picky eater, etc. But if you go into the experience with a good set of expectations for you and your family, a willinginess to be flexible you can make the most of just about anything. We use Tripadvisor a lot to research background on apartments/rental house, things to do with kids while there, questions on transportation etc. We haven't done any tours with kids but we typically select one location - or plan to stay in one place for a min of 3 nights. Preference being a week at a time. It allows you settle in and get to know your surrounds. We like renting apartments or houses so we can make ourselves at home. Depending on where we are we might rent a car or simpy rely on public transporation, walking etc. We try not to do too much - have one objective each day and make sure it coincides with the time that works best for kids. We might not always get to see everyone a place has to offer but slowing things down for the kids means we've come back pretty relaxed. Lovely evening walks along cobblestone streets in search of the best gelato? Pastry? Yummy. So many European cities have lots of open green spaces for kids to run around and be kids. Our kids love botancial gardens, feeding ducks, eating breakfast at a cafe. We also check out what types of festivals, open markets etc might be going on - that has always been a fun activitiy for everyone in the family. Disney tours do seem overpriced - I have a hard time envisioning my idea of Europe being mixed with disney, but that's just me. [/quote]
