Who We Are
The Family Vacation Club is a travel company specializing in unique, tailor-made travel experiences for families, friends, and even solo adventurers worldwide. Our mission is a simple one: to bring people closer together while taking them far away; and with a travel style focused on cultural immersion and off-the-beaten-path exploration, our vacations create one-of-a-kind, personal connections to destinations that will have travelers believing that home is a feeling, not just a place.
What Makes Us Special
Hidden Gem Destinations
Our carefully curated selection of tours is designed to create meaningful, immersive travel experiences through local exploration and cultural enrichment. This off-the-beaten-path approach takes you beyond the tourist traps and into the heart of your destinations, where you will have the opportunity to connect with and discover the local communities firsthand. Don't worry, we'll hit all the hotspots too, but our true passion lies in showing you places that feel like they've never been discovered before-- the places that make you feel like they're completely your own. Are you ready? The whole wide world is waiting for you, and we want to help you explore it...
Family Oriented
Whether you're traveling with your 2 year old child or 70 year old grandmother, everyone can join in on the fun at The Family Vacation Club. Our Tours and Itineraries are designed with the freedom and flexibility families require on vacations, offering plenty of opportunities for each traveller to make the experience their very own. Don't have a family? That's what we're here for! When you travel with us you become a part of our extended family and community.
