Questions & Answers

The Family Project is a travel agency specializing in extraordinary, custom-planned family trips. We know many of our destinations and hotels firsthand and offer advice based on our own travel experiences. Instead of offering off-the-shelf trips, we work with you to design a trip that suits your preferences, your travel style, and your family.

With The Family Project, you’ll benefit from personalized advice, carefully selected hotels and partners, and an international network in the luxury hospitality industry. We guide you from the initial idea through personalized travel planning and booking all the way to your return, and we’re available to assist you throughout your trip. Depending on the hotel and partner, our clients also enjoy exclusive perks such as upgrades, resort credits, early check-in, late check-out, or special welcome gifts.

Your trip begins with a personal conversation: We’d like to learn about your travel style, what’s important to you, and what you’d like to experience. Based on this, we’ll develop a personalized itinerary and work with you to finalize it. You can learn how the trip planning process works, step by step, in our Trip Planning Guide.

We only recommend what we believe in ourselves. We personally visit and evaluate many of our hotels and destinations—often together with our own families. In addition, we work with a carefully selected international network of hotels and local partners. For us, it’s not just about stars or well-known names, but about exceptional quality, personalized service, authentic experiences, and that certain something that makes a trip special.

More than you might think at first. What matters most isn’t so much the distance as it is good travel planning, the right time of year, suitable accommodations, and an itinerary tailored to the children’s ages. From Europe to the Indian Ocean to select safari and long-haul destinations, there are numerous options. We’d be happy to provide personalized advice on which destination is best suited to your family and the ages of your children.

There is no set minimum age. Long-distance travel is possible even with babies and toddlers, provided that the destination, flight connections, accommodations, and itinerary are chosen appropriately. What kind of trip makes sense, therefore, depends less on a specific age limit than on your family and your personal preferences.

To us, “family” means much more than just traveling with young children. A family can be a couple with a baby, parents with teenagers, multiple generations, a blended family, or a group of people who consider themselves a family. For us, “family travel” means tailoring trips to be as unique as the people who experience them together.

Personal consultation and the preparation of your travel proposal are free of charge and non-binding.

Quite the opposite! We work with the best available rates from our hotel and travel partners. Through our international partner network, our customers also often receive benefits such as upgrades, resort credits, or special perks.

Within one business day—usually much sooner.

That depends on the destination, time of year, and duration of the trip. Most of our families plan on a budget of about 15,000 € for four people, not including flights. For more elaborate tours and safaris, the reasonable starting point is correspondingly higher.

On our blog, we share personal travel stories, practical guides on planning and organizing trips, and special stories and discoveries from the world of travel. Whether you’re already planning a specific trip or just looking for inspiration— check out our blog here.

Travel connects us with special places, people, and cultures—and for us, that comes with a sense of responsibility. We want to help preserve the destinations that inspire us for the long term and make a positive difference in those communities. We showcase how we put this philosophy into practice in the “Impact” section of our blog.
