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.

Ciao Bambino’s online guide includes comprehensive reviews of the best family-friendly accommodations, as well as tips and advice around all things related to traveling with kids. By helping families understand where to stay and what to do in worldwide destinations, Ciao Bambino aims to eliminate the anxiety parents have around travel, allowing the entire family to enjoy precious vacation time.

From the site:
“Pack up the kids and get going. Traveling as a family isn’t just a great way to spend quality time together, it serves to educate and expand, broaden horizons and open doors—and not just for the kids…From beach towns to big cities, natural wonders to iconic monuments, these top family travel destinations will put a smile on everyone’s face, whatever their age. Just be sure to bring your camera—you won’t want to miss these holiday card photo ops.”

In addition, moms and dads can use NileGuide tools to create a custom itinerary from each Ciao Bambino guide by adding other points of interest found on NileGuide.com, and can then schedule it, save it, print, share with friends, and/or download it to an iPhone or iPod Touch as a field reference.

“At NileGuide, we curate the best travel content on the Web,” said Josh Steinitz, CEO. “We’re partnering with Ciao Bambino because Amie and her team have created the most trusted online source for family-friendly travel tips and ideas. We’re excited about the first 13 guides just launched, and are looking forward to adding many more in the near future.”

Ciao Bambino guides are currently available on NileGuide for London, Hong Kong, Sydney, Singapore, Chicago, New York City, Philadelphia, Boston, Washington D.C., Rome, San Francisco, San Diego and Los Angeles.
