Holiday Traveller

 

The family that travels together stays together! While some people might dread traveling with their family, we believe that family travel can be very rewarding & bring lifelong memories & fun to any family.

International travel is educational for children, can be a great opportunity for bonding for a family, & offers a great way to relax & enjoy family life to the full.

Keeping the family well is our job, & The Travel Doctor-TMVC can provide the way to avoid or minimize any health risks.

Our priority is to look after you, & help you look after yourself while challenging yourself. Enjoy one-stop service, delivered by staff with the most experience & understanding of adventure travelers needs.

For more than 20 years, we have been learning about what really helps family travellers, (and what doesn’t!), & are pleased to offer the following range of services:

  

before you go

• We provide you with medical advice on international health risks on a location by location basis, personalised to your families’ itinerary & activities
• We can offer advice or assessment of any existing medical issues, visa application health checks & provide fitness to travel certificates
