How to find the perfect family vacation

Typically, online travel guides are often lacking in the family-friendly department. Would-be family travelers have been looking for a great trip planning experience that also incorporates  info and opinions from robust family-travel expertise.

To meet this need, online travel guru site NileGuide.com and Ciao Bambino have partnered to launch family travel guides for top U.S. and international destinations, available at http://www.nileguide.com/theme/family-travel-4.

“As parents know, traditional online travel sites have limited useful family-friendly content,” said Amie O’Shaughnessy, founder of Ciao Bambino, an award-winning resource for traveling parents. “Our partnership with NileGuide fills that coverage gap, creating a credible and invaluable travel planning resource for families where broad destination information is merged with family-friendly insight.”

For parents, by parents

Parents can now plan their next trip based on family-oriented travel guides and trust that all recommendations are travel-tested and written by real parents and experts at Ciao Bambino -  a renowned resource for high quality family travel information.
