For families combining England and Scotland on their UK vacation, York makes an excellent pit stop for a night or two. Located right on the train line that runs from London to Edinburgh, York’s narrow streets and compact center are packed with kid-friendly fun. Spend half a day or more in the world’s best train museum, or get your hands sticky and sweet with a chocolate-making lesson. Pretend to be the Viking warriors who once invaded the city as you take a leisurely walk on the ancient walls. Retreat to a kid-friendly hotel after all that adventure; the best option is a centrally located property just a quick walk from the train station or within earshot of the bells in famous York Minster Cathedral.

Our Happy Travelers
"Our trip was great! Hardly any problems--pretty smooth and really enjoyable. We all felt that this was the most organized and awesome trip we have ever taken. Next time we travel overseas, I know we will be using Ciao Bambino again. Worth every penny!"

–West Family Trip

"We had an amazing time, and really appreciate all the work that you did for us."

–Clar Family Trip

"Everything was perfect! The room set up was great. We all enjoyed ourselves. We can’t wait to plan for next year! Thank you again!"

–Rembert Family Cruise

"Katie planned the perfect trip. We all agree it was the best trip we've had, and the hotels were some of the best we've stayed in. We found that with a baby, it was only possible to get through about half of the suggested itinerary each day, which was great because it gave us options. We took time each night to debate what we would do the next day, and really enjoyed having those possibilities laid out for us.​"

–Beck Family Trip

"My trip was extraordinary. Linda was incredible to work with and I could not have been more pleased. Thankful!"

–Goodrich Family Trip

Coronavirus Update

This is a challenging time for our clients given the uncertainty around the spread of coronavirus, particularly for those with near-term travel plans in impacted areas. We’re working with our suppliers on being flexible with their booking conditions, and enabling families to postpone travel to a later date without a penalty, when possible. Likewise, given the unpredictability around destinations that may be impacted in the future, we’re helping clients planning new trips and understand ways that they can protect themselves until the situation improves. We are ready to help our clients work through questions and concerns.
