As a family travel specialist, I solve the problems that frustrate parents when they try to plan a trip overseas. Some of the services I provide include:
– Finding guaranteed connecting rooms or family rooms that sleep 3 or more guests
– Arranging age appropriate activities that are fun for everyone
– Hiring expert guides who can engage even young children
– Arranging family photo shoots to capture the memories forever
Happy kids = happy parents (and vice versa!)

ROME
The Hotel Eden near the Spanish Steps just completed an extensive renovation, so it’s more stylish than ever. They are offering a 4th night free through March 31, and my clients are eligible for Dorchester Club amenities:
- One category upgrade guaranteed at time of booking
- 100 EU hotel credit
- Daily full breakfast buffet for 2 people

Who says historic hotels have to have dark rooms?
They still have their lovely rooftop dining room overlooking the Borghese, featuring some of the best views in Rome, where guests can take breakfast, or enjoy music and cocktails in the evening.
They don’t even charge for the view!
You can read about traveling to Rome with kids in a previous blog post.
Roman sites are impressive, but hiring a guide gives deeper understanding, and helps make navigating the crowds less stressful.
LISBON
The Four Seasons Hotel Ritz Lisbon is offering a 4th night free. My clients always receive the Four Seasons preferred Partner amenities, which include daily breakfast and a spa credit. And if you book a suite, they’ll also pick you up in a limousine on arrival!
Plenty of room for the whole family.
A run with a view
Lisbon is a beautiful city steeped in history, but there are many kid-friendly attractions including an aquarium and safari park, or you can hire a driver for a day trip to beaches or castles.
Sometimes getting out of the city is the best way to enjoy it.
For a special treat, you can go for a spin through winding cobblestone streets with a professional photographer in a vintage Moto-sidecar. Check it out here.
