The flexibility and breadth of UTracks’ program of active family holidays ensures that there is a European holiday for nearly every family. If you are testing the waters, Bike & Boat tours offer a fantastic introduction to our style of travel because you only have to unpack once.

Staying in the same accommodation throughout your trip is a huge bonus for parents, minimising the stress and hassle of packing and unpacking every day. The familiarity of returning to the same place is also reassuring to kids who are new to travelling.

Vehicle-free cycling trails are common in Europe. On many self guided cycling tours, bike trailers can be arranged for children as young as two years with a maximum weight of 40-60kgs (depending on specifications). Trail-a-bikes are available for 4-9 year olds.

Most Barge & Bike holidays provide a discount of up to 50% for kids travelling with 2 adults. Our Danube boat-based cycling trips, for example, are ideal for children as the route is generally flat and perfect for taking in the many castles and monuments that overlook the river. Whatever your specific requirements and interests are, we are bound to have the perfect boat-based family tour for you.
