  • Kids in Paris: The City of Light With Your Grandchild

Bonjour! We have a great tour for you — a nine-day tour through the beautiful French city of Paris, renowned for the Eiffel Tower, croissants, and the Seine River. Experience the best of Paris with your grandchild as you discover iconic landmarks and even learn to speak some French.

This amazing grandparent tour with your grandchild will be the first group to find the Mona Lisa on a fun scavenger hunt through the Louvre and hear the story behind the hunchback of Notre Dame at the cathedral where it all took place. Learn to make delicious chocolate at the chocolate museum and wave “au revoir” to France at the top of the Arc de Triomphe. This program is for grandchildren ages 9-13.

Explore the magical island of Chincoteague, where ponies run wild alongside your grandchild on this six-day tour. Join local experts to explore herds of wild ponies, bottlenose dolphins, and marshes teaming with marine critters. 

Your grandchild will tell you about Misty, the wild pony from the famous children’s book. Then you will visit her home in Virginia, and get up close to the wild ponies. Visit the NASA Visitor Center on Wallops Island to learn about the rockets that launch there. This program is for grandchildren ages 8-12.
