The European Trip You Thought You Had to Wait For


July 2–9 | Madrid & Valencia

An 8-day Spanish adventure designed for families with children ages 0–6.

Remember those European trips before kids?

Exploring a new city. Trying whatever restaurant looked good. Wandering for hours. Discovering places you never planned to find.

And then you had children.

Now a trip to Europe feels intimidating at best.

Will we actually enjoy this?
What happens with naps?
What if somebody gets sick?
How do we keep them entertained?

We’re designing this trip around those questions so you can experience Europe with your children instead of waiting until they’re older. (Or until your mother-in-law owes you one.)

Created by a fatherhood expert raising two young children in Spain and a parenting expert specializing in play, this is a European adventure designed around how families with young kids actually travel.

I'm interested!

 We’re Taking the Big Worries Off Your Plate

We want to make the European family trip that feels daunting feel genuinely doable.

So we’re building support around the entire experience:

  • Healthcare Peace of Mind: A pediatrician traveling with us throughout the trip
  • Less Panic Before Takeoff: Pre-trip planning, packing guidance, and play ideas for planes, trains, restaurants and downtime.
  • Nap Happens: Days built around naps and transition time, with a few flexible anchor activities you can join or skip  
  • Wine for You, Play for the Kids: Camp-like activities for the kids so you can relax, connect, and enjoy that glass of wine without chugging it.
  • Come Home More Connected: Our expertise in play, connection and parenthood woven naturally throughout the journey.

 Spain, Designed Around Real Family Life

Over eight days, we’ll explore Valencia and Madrid through incredible food, culture, beaches, play and experiences for kids and adults.

Join everything. Skip something. Head off with another family. Take the afternoon to yourselves.

We get that kids need breaks.

So do parents.

We’ll even introduce you to the glorious Spanish phenomenon of playgrounds attached to restaurants, where the kids can play while you sit nearby with tapas and a glass of wine.

The goal is simple:

Give you and your children an extraordinary experience of Europe.
