Immersive family tours are now being offered by Perillo’s Learning Journeys, a division of Perillo Tours. Three new family vacations provide opportunities to explore destinations, spark imaginations and often give back to local communities.  A nine-day private tour through Italy includes Rome, Florence and Venice with plenty of hands-on activities such as gladiator training, food tasting and pizza and mask making.  A 10-day river cruise through Southern Africa travels along Lake Kariba, Gache-Gache and the Sanyati Rivers on the luxury MS African Dream, which has just eight cabins.  This itinerary includes Victoria Falls and a visit to local villages in Namibia to learn about the traditions, culture and customs of the country.   Other stops include Chobe National Park in Botswana and Matusadona National Park in Zimbabwe for amazing animal viewing.  Finally, a seven-day Peru Family Adventure showcases nature, archaeology and handicrafts. The trip begins in Cusco with a visit to an alpaca farm and a textile showroom to learn about traditional weaving. The itinerary also includes Machu Picchu, Coricancha and a visit to the home of Sabino, a talented musician raised in Cusco who makes traditional instruments, where your children can learn to play Andean drums and the traditional charango from Spain.  Other tour destinations available include Greece, Ireland, Spain/Portugal and the Baltic Sea region.
