Multi-Gen Legacy
Vacations that become family lore.
Different generations. Different ideas of a perfect day. Our Multi-Gen Legacy trips make room for all of them. Our Experience Designers build each journey around your family, balancing adventure and downtime, shared discoveries and time to yourselves.
Don't just leave a legacy. Live it.
Crafted with care, creativity and a touch of magic, Multi-Gen Legacy trips combine everything our travellers love about B&R with elements designed specifically for the distinct needs of family travel.
Designed for Every Generation
Different ages, energy levels and ideas of a perfect day. We make room for all of them, with time to follow your own interests and shared adventures that get everyone in on the story.
Seamless from Start to Finish
A private villa. A safari lodge. A yacht of your own. Our Experience Designers handle the moving parts and shape each day around your family. Nobody has to run the vacation. Everyone gets to be on it.
Moments That Become Family Lore
The first elephant sighting. The lunch that somehow became dinner. The inside joke that makes it home before you do. We design the journey with room for the moments your family will keep talking about.
Unparalleled Insider Access
Private visits to iconic sites, tucked-away farms and wineries, candlelit abbeys and chapels. Our local relationships open the doors. The people who welcome you give every generation a reason to remember what’s on the other side.
The Bigger, the Better
Think your family is too big for one adventure? Au contraire. From private concerts to village soccer matches, a bigger gathering opens up possibilities all its own. Bring the whole cast. We’ll set the scene.
Guides Who Feel Like Family
They know the region, read the room and know when to change the plan. Our Guides bring each place to life for every age, making sure the youngest, the oldest and everyone in between feels part of the adventure.
10s on 10s across the board!
We wanted to thank you for expertly crafting such an amazing trip, and for your wise guidance about accommodations. What an incredible oasis that place is! Both my mother-in-law and my sister-in-law felt this was one of the best trips in their lives, and my sons and my nephew has a great time and thoroughly enjoyed the varied active/sporting options. We felt totally taken care of throughout the trip and it was an overall magical experience!

"Our grandchildren will be different individuals"
Our days with the Hadzabe and Datoga were beyond anything we imagined—intimate moments, extraordinary guides, and experiences that touched every generation. I am confident our grandchildren will be different individuals because of this experience.
— Erin I., Tanzania Family Safari
"The guides blended effortlessly with our family, and really brought the fun"
We have never had a guide be with us for two solid weeks; Denis was remarkable. He blended in effortlessly with our family and actually helped make the dynamic of parents travelling with adult children better. He was always up for doing things, like jumping off the top of the boat with my 22-year-old daughter or going really fast on the jet ski couch with her (when her parents might not have been as much fun).
— Kerry W., Dalmatian Coast By Sea
"Our B&R guides became extensions of the family"
While anyone can choose a walking path, that does not even scratch the surface of what a trip with B&R feels like. Listening to the giggling and laughter of our family when John "joined" the Bellagio choir will be a story that is repeated and repeated. Alessio and Edo became like extensions of the family, not just guides. People bring experiences to life and the B&R people are top notch.
— Tina D., Italian Lakes Family Walking Trip

Every Multi-Gen Legacy trip with Butterfield & Robinson is thoughtfully tailored to your family’s rhythm, interests, and sense of adventure. Many of our Experience Designers are family travellers themselves, drawing on their own experiences—and extensive on-the-ground research—to craft seamless, immersive journeys that bring generations together.

The best destination depends on how your family loves to travel; and that’s where Butterfield & Robinson’s global expertise comes in.
