The nuts & bolts of travelling with kids

Minimum Age Requirements for Escorted (Guided) Tours

Most tour companies, with the exception of several companies I work with, have a minimum age requirement for children on escorted tours. The minimum age is typically between 6 and 8 years, although several companies have itineraries that can be enjoyed by children as young as 3. Babies and young toddlers are typically not accepted on any escorted tours, in which case an independent self-drive or train tour may be best. Either way, you'll need to be aware of car seat and booster seat laws in your destination country, and I can help you plan accordingly.

Plane Travel

All airlines require any child that is 2 years of age or older to have their own seat and the ticket will cost the normal adult price. Any child under 2 years of age can fly free on an adults lap but still needs a boarding pass of their own, along with a valid passport.

Announcement

Please know that my working hours are going to vary quite a lot over the next 6-8 months. This is a new travel agency and I'm still going to be working my regular, full-time job while I get this agency up and running. Email is going to be the best way to communicate with me, early on. I'll do my best to return emails and phone calls as quickly as possible. Thank you! - Andee
