Springtime Tours From Classic Journeys Make Short Work of Winter

Two dozen rejuvenating adventure travel tours offer respite from harsher climates

La Jolla, CA (November 2009) – Between record rainfalls and snowstorms barreling in back-to-back, there’s not much to recommend the winter of 2010. So how to survive the less-than-perfect stretch that still lies ahead? It’s simple: pick a sun-drenched destination, pack a bag and fast-forward to spring!

Classic Journeys, California-based provider of cultural walking tours, family vacations and culinary tours, has 24 adventure trips departing in March and April. So why sit back and succumb to winter at its worst when the locals are sipping limoncello in Amalfi and wearing shorts in Peru?

Family Vacations
Families looking to spark their spring break can choose from 11 family travel adventures specially timed to jibe with school vacations. Kids, parents, and even grandparents will find warm-weather adventures in full-swing, whether they’re ziplining through rainforest treetops in Costa Rica or Panama, mountain biking in the Sacred Valley of Peru, surfing the sand dunes in Morocco, or swimming with the world’s smallest dolphins in New Zealand.

As always, the company’s family vacations feature special pricing for younger travelers. When sharing a room with two full-paying guests, kids up to age 16 receive discounts ranging from $500 to $1750 off the regular adult price, while kids sharing a room with one full-paying guest receive a discount of $250.
