March 3, 2025, Berkeley, CA – Backroads, the leader in active travel, urges parents to book their family’s summer vacation now while the best selection of trips and dates are still available. Busy families know that come March, summer calendars fill up fast with activities, events and commitments, and managing the logistics can feel like a full-time job. With over three decades of experience handling all the details of family travel, and with expert Trip Leaders ready to bring the magic, Backroads helps parents get that summer vacation piece effortlessly into place. Backroads’ latest release of Family Trips includes adventures in the US, French Alps, Netherlands & Belgium, Croatia & Slovenia and beyond.

 

Backroads Family Trips offer just the right combination of flexibility and activity options for kids of all ages, as well as for parents and grandparents to ensure that everyone has a great time exploring and bonding over a shared love of travel. And as the only travel company offering Family Trips for three distinct age groups―Families with Kids & Teens, Teens & 20s, and 20s & Beyond―Backroads makes it easy for everyone in the family to connect with travelers their own age, a wonderful dynamic that makes Backroads trips even more unique.
