Things you should forget about after making your tours available for children
As soon as children reach more or less conscious age, their parents start planning joint trips and looking for excursions that would be equally interesting for both of them. But once you decided to make your tours available for the little travelers, you should forget about few following things:
- Active exploring - try to make your tours go a little more smoothly or let your travelers go at their own pace. It’s useless to hurry up the little adventurers; they will need some time to look around anyway.
- Long-distance transfers or hiking - even the greatest stayers are quickly getting tired after the long, exhausting and monotonous activities, so you should better try to organize your route in such a way, so you could dedicate each day to a certain area with a high concentration of interesting places at the one place. And don’t forget about the weather circumstances, like blowing winds, high solar activities and other things that may scare the little travelers away.
- Extreme tours - mountain climbing, helicopter tours or safari rides are not the better choice for the tours with children. It’s better to choose a walking tour around the city, where you won’t have to go for a long distances, or, for example, choose the certain place of interest to see, like interactive museum, entertainment park and so on.
- Long stories about the history, rich with epithets and metaphors - even for the adult it is hard to listen for about 20 minutes the monotonous speech about the restoration of the church or about people that used to visit it in the ancient times, and so on, even if you find this information extremely exciting. The little travelers will get bored even faster as they can’t stay at one place longer than for 30 seconds.
- Visiting museums – the previous point explains, why this isn’t the best idea, unless you are going to visit Chocolate Museum in Cologne, Currywurst Museum in Berlin, Pasta Museum in Rome or York’s Chocolate Story in England.
