Family Reunions

When was the last time your extended family got together? A Thomson trip is the perfect way for your entire family – near and far – to spend time with relatives that you might not see as often as you would like. Pick a destination and a date, and we’ll do the rest! If one of our scheduled departure dates works for your group, you might be able to travel privately on that adventure. All of our adventures will work for family reunions but we have found the following are the very best for families with members of different ages.

My husband and I celebrated our 50th anniversary by taking our family – thirteen in all, ages 10 to 77 – on Thomson’s trip to the Galapagos and the Highlands of Ecuador. The trip was a total success, with TFA giving assistance in trip planning, making all the necessary reservations at beautiful haciendas and providing terrific guides. Hats off to TFA for an outstanding family experience!
