Travel Tips

I’ve traveled to more than 90 countries and brought my kids to 28 and counting. As an experienced traveler, I can usually get my family around and plan a pretty good itinerary on my own. However, I discovered an easier way that takes some of the pressure off me to be the travel planner. Booking day tours allows me to enjoy my kids more because someone else is taking care of the details. However, I discovered the hard way not all tour operators are created equally.

GetYourGuide has helped me travel better and with confidence. My first tour with GetYourGuide was to explore Puerto Rico’s rainforest and natural water slides. I loved that I could easily read reviews and compare tours to find one right for my family. We had a great time, and I was then hooked on GetYourGuide.

 

Now, from a city tour in Buenos Aires to a tea ceremony in Japan, GetYourGuide is a part of most of my family’s trips. By using GetYourGuide around the world, I’ve discovered activities and places I didn’t know existed, gotten tons of insider tips, and met like-minded travelers. I can’t imagine a vacation without at least one or two GetYourGuide tours. Once you and your family try the company, you’ll likely feel the same.

Daytrip Ideas from Dublin, Ireland

A family vacation in Dublin, Ireland, doesn’t need to be limited to the sights and attractions in the city itself (although Dublin does have many amazing experiences). Visitors may be surprised by top Irish attractions within reach on a daytrip from the capital.

Best of Both Worlds

Enjoy the best of both worlds when you fly with TAP Air Portugal thanks to the Portugal Stopover program. With the program, TAP passengers, whether traveling for business, leisure or both, can stop in Portugal for up to 10 days at no additional airfare on the way to their final destination. What does this mean for travelers wishing to explore by both land and sea? It means after flying to Portugal with TAP and experiencing the country in an entirely new way, travelers can then embark on scenic river and ocean cruises from  Portugal’s port cities, or fly with TAP to another European destination.
