Holiday with kids
Organising a family holiday with kids in Italy requires thoughtful planning to ensure a smooth and pleasant experience. Above all, it should keep the juniors engaged with playful activities that spark their curiosity and encourage their imagination. Once you share with us your kids’ interests and passions, we’ll begin crafting a perfectly balanced itinerary. Whether it’s incorporating a kid-friendly guided tour, a gelato or pasta cooking experience for little chefs, a hands-on mosaic workshop, or following a specific theme they love, we’ll make sure they also have downtime to enjoy or simply roam freely in a square. However, if you are travelling to Italy with kids, you can expect warmth and kindness wherever you go. Italians are accommodating to children of any age. The little ones are adored no matter where you are in the country and are greeted with a friendly smile or a cheerful “Ciao.”
Holiday with teens
Taking a family trip to Italy with your teens is an amazing opportunity to spend quality time together. But let’s be real—teens don’t always share your enthusiasm for museums and sightseeing. They may get tired of long historical tours, and an art-heavy itinerary might not hold their interest. Fortunately, Italy offers a perfect blend of history, culture, design, fashion, nature, and food. And we know how to capture even their hard-to-please attention or cater to their hobbies. Activities just need to be interactive and creative! They can make unique memories while sketching the Eternal City, or venture on a thrilling cycling tour through the countryside. Or why not put on an apron and learn a few traditional Italian recipes to bring home? Cooking together can also be a great bonding experience for the whole family because what matters most is that everyone feels included.

Holiday with grown up children
And just like that, in the blink of an eye, you find your little ones ready to begin university, a new job, or even settle down and create their own families. And the time you have to travel together becomes even more rare and precious. But we’re masters of our craft and know how to enhance the moments you spend together and design a family trip full of memories to cherish. You can catch the sunrise on a hot air balloon ride relishing peaceful landscapes from different perspectives. Chat over gastronomic delight at a family dinner in a local trattoria. Or if adventure fills your veins, you can get your adrenaline pumping with a family via Ferrata or paragliding. At the end of the day, planning a trip to Italy with your adult children is just the beginning of another beautiful family story you’ll write together.

But we’ll work to create a holiday that celebrates your unique family dynamic and togetherness. We’ll strike the perfect balance with a mix of group activities that cater to diverse interests and attention spans, along with free time for individual exploration and recharging—all while keeping the focus on bonding across generations.

"Seamless trip, knowledgeable guides, and incredible itinerary "
Vanya created an incredible itinerary, taking into account all the information I gave her about my family’s interests, and had every aspect of the trip covered. The private guides were first-class and extremely knowledgeable in their fields. To say a 10-day trip went off without a hitch is saying a lot. I would recommend using Design Your Italy without reservation!
