Benefits of travelling as a family

Travelling can bring out the best in everyone. Not only is it a chance for you to get plenty of rest, but it's also a time when your days are filled to the brim with exciting activities.

Being away from life’s everyday distractions and work commitments gives your family the chance to spend uninterrupted time together, strengthening your bonds and opening you up to new experiences.

Visiting new places with your children is a great way for them to try different activities and unique foods and broaden their horizons.

But, travel doesn’t have to be limited to just parents and children. Bringing the grandparents along can have several benefits, too.

Busy home lives can make it difficult for children to make memories and get to know their grandparents well - especially if they don’t live nearby.

Plus, when travelling with the grandparents, you’ll always have someone on hand to help out with the children. Having an extra pair of eyes and ears means you’ll have more opportunities to go on date nights or relaxing activities, with the peace of mind that the kids are being well looked after!

The advantages of seeing Scotland by escorted coach tour

Coach tours remove the stress of travelling with children and grandparents.
Itineraries are meticulously organised, quality hotels are selected, and the tour route is carefully pre-planned.
A professional and licensed coach driver lets you sit back and relax. Let them take care of finding a parking space or navigating the narrow streets of a strange town.
Driving on unfamiliar roads can be hard, and getting lost can eat into your precious sightseeing time. An expert coach tour driver knows the roads like the back of their hand, and will take you from A to B with ease.
There’s no need to squash the whole family into a hire car. Coaches are spacious, modern and air-conditioned to provide maximum comfort while you see the sights.
You’ll be doing your bit for the environment too. Research shows that moving more people in a single vehicle reduces fuel consumption and lowers carbon emissions per passenger.
And most importantly, the whole family can comfortably kick back, relax and enjoy the incredible scenery knowing that everything has been taken care of.
