Warning... grown-up eyes only...

Youngsters turn back now - boring but important information for parents follows...

We've heard it said that there are two classes of travel: first class, and with children. Perhaps that used to be the case, but we believe that travelling with your children can and should be a first-class experience.

So, why take your family on an Original Kids holiday from Original Travel?

Since the company's launch in 2003, we have won countless awards for our bespoke service and expert first-hand knowledge of our destinations. Tailormaking holidays for families is not new to us; in fact we have been doing it for years but until now we haven't had a corresponding website.

We want your children to enjoy browsing these web pages as much as you the parents do, and we have kept our portfolio of recommended destinations and itineraries deliberately small; hand-picked because they offer something special for everyone in the family. Find the right trips for you using our 'Looking for Something' search function, where you can select by time of year, what you want to do, and what the recommended minimum age would be.

In 2007 we sent an extensive survey to all the mums and dads we know and asked them what makes or breaks a family holiday and what Original Travel could do to make the whole experience easier. As a result of those responses and our own experience, we have created what we think is a portfolio of the best trips - be they R&R beach holidays or more experience-led adventures - from around the world. All the hotels featured have completed rigorous Original Kids FAQs and fact sheets that we will send out with our detailed quotations so you have all the information in front you to make a properly informed decision on where to go and what to do.

In addition, for the young ones, they'll be sent a goodie bag - a stylish rucksack for the trip itself and containing gifts from a Mi-Vox's audio player preloaded with a classic children's book to a mini kikoy; Ambre Solaire Factor 50 suncream, a travel book from Dorling Kindersley and most importantly of all, their very own Otie, complete with passport.
