To really know a place, you need to be immersed in its stories and legends. And when it comes to living out tales – true or mythical – there are no better storytellers than your Adventure Guides. Wherever you go and whatever you do – whether it's trying your hand at the age-old Greek traditions of cheese making or biking around the grounds of a historic French chateau – your Adventure Guides are there to share their knowledge, insights and passion for the places you visit.
From the moment you first meet your Adventure Guides, you know that you're in good hands. As the hosts of your trip, your Guides make you feel right at home – wherever you go. But more than the personal attention they provide, you'll appreciate your Guides' ability to bring you closer to the destinations you visit with their knowledge and knack for storytelling. By the end of your vacation, you'll feel like they've become part of your family.

Environmental Friendliness
Adventures by Disney mantains an environmentally conscious focus and offers environmentally friendly activities on our trips. For those who share our concerns and want to take a proactive stance, explore more about how to mitigate the impact each individual can have on the environment.
Experience the world together, in ways every member of your family can enjoy. You'll spend time together on an Egyptian camel ride, take a private visit to a local pineapple plantation in Costa Rica or make pizza in Italy. We'll not only show your kids the world, we'll help them get to know it. They'll step into the pages of history, meet legendary figures and live timeless stories through unique activities designed just for them. Where else can a kid go on a scavenger hunt in the Louvre Museum or paint their own masterpiece in the shade of Monet's home? And because you know your kids are having a great time having fun and making friends, you'll be able to relax and do the same. Of course, there's also plenty of time build into each trip just when you'd want it. Every bit of your adventure has been crafted with everyone in mind.
"This trip with Adventures by Disney has been one of the best in my life! Everything was so well planned and executed that I didn't feel like I was on a "tour", but on an exclusive trip designed just for me and my family! I will be on another Adventures by Disney tour with or without my children!"

"Thank you for creating a trip through Germany that was as enchanting for adults and children alike. We felt like royalty with all the first class experiences and accomodations. The guides were entertaining and the destinations gave us so much more than we expected. Thank you for creating a true adventure with castles, fairytales and sensational food and drink!"
- Sandy (Portola Valley, CA), on Germany Trip
Without people, places are just…well, places. On an Adventures by Disney vacation, you not only meet the locals – you're welcomed by them and are made to feel like one of their own. When an Andean weaver teaches you her craft; a Chinese Tai Chi master invites you to practice his art; or a South African bush ranger shows you how to track wild animals, you truly become a part of the places you visit.
"…it was a very fantastic trip where the true culture of the people is fully exposed and myths debunked. The magic of seeing wild lions walking next to your jeep or just simply how this beautiful nation has come together as one is simply unforgettable."
- Gaby (Wilmington, NC), on South Africa Trip
