(EMAILWIRE.COM, April 24, 2013 ) WATERTOWN, MA -- Thomson Family Adventures, the original family adventure travel company, and Smithsonian Journeys, the Smithsonian’s worldwide travel program, were recognized in this years’ annual “50 Tours of a Lifetime” issue by National Geographic Traveler Magazine. Their Wonders of Turkey: A Smithsonian Family Adventure was given one of the magazine’s top honors by being selected as a “Tour of a Lifetime” for 2013.
In 2012, Thomson Family Adventures and Smithsonian Journeys teamed up to offer a series of enriched family adventures. These Smithsonian Family Adventures offer families educational and exciting cultural learning experiences. On Wonders of Turkey, grandparents, parents and children alike will be introduced to the ancient magic of Turkey as they travel deep into the heart and soul of the country. The journey takes guests through IstanbulÂ’s scented bazaars, on hikes to ancient Crusader castles and crumbling ruins, through the passageways of an underground city, and along the stunning Turquoise Coast of the Mediterranean.
This is a trip that has it all, from fun family activities like sailing, swimming, snorkeling, and hiking, to historical explorations into TurkeyÂ’s past and warm cultural encounters with its delightful people. A definite highlight of the trip is the time spent sailing on a gulet, TurkeyÂ’s traditional wooden yacht. Guests spend three full days meandering along the Mediterranean Coast, with frequent stops to swim, hike, snorkel, and explore hidden ruins.
The selection process was competitive and TravelerÂ’s editorial team worked long and hard to find 2013Â’s most authentic, most innovative, most immersive, best-guided, and most sustainable tours.
National Geographic Traveler magazine has been recognizing the best tours and outfitters for travelers for the last eight years, as part of the magazine’s mission “to propel readers out of their armchairs and into the field.” Traveler has the largest audience of any travel magazine, with more than 8.5 million readers. rReaders love to travel, with the highest passport ownership, most international and domestic trips, and most outdoor recreation spending of any other travel title.
