There’s a good chance your child has a poster of the Eiffel Tower hanging up in their bedroom. You and your children both dream of traipsing down cobblestone streets, slurping up spaghetti in Rome, or waving at Will and Kate at Buckingham Palace. You love to revel in the romance of your destination, and you yearn to explore on your own terms—no packed tour buses or crowded cruises for your family!

For you, a customized family adventure that’s chock full of culture is just the ticket. With a custom-planned itinerary, you can explore at your own pace, see the sights you’ve always longed to visit (with behind-the-scenes access, if possible!), and skip the ones that don’t light you up. Every day brings new discoveries, tailored just to your family’s interests.

I’ll be sending you some more travel tips for culture-packed family vacations over the next couple of days. But first—let me introduce myself. I’m Jessica Hart, and I’m the luxury family travel planner behind Travel by Hart. I’m all about playing vacation match maker for families. Every family is different—so shouldn’t your vacation be, too?
