My family of 5 has taken 2 Tauck trips, and just signed up for a 3rd. I have not used any competitor tour companies, so I can not compare. I have been told that Tauck is a B+ level tour company. But don't let that fool you. I think it rates an A. All details are covered. You pay for the Tour that you choose, get your air tickets, and Tauck takes care of the rest. Even the transfers from the airport to the start location hotel and from the end location hotel to the departure airport (they are often different airports depending upon which Tour you take). I love that once you pay for the trip, even tips and wifi use (for the hotels that offer wifi) are covered. All you need pay for are hotel incidentals. Activities are spaced out nicely. Each day starts a bit early so you can see all that is planned. It is a hustle and bustle itinerary, but worth it if you want to see and explore the area you have chosen. If you want to sit on your butt at a nice resort and be a vacationing vegetable, this is not the tour company for you.

I wish there was something higher than "Highly Recommended" to address our experience with Tauck. As some one said immediately on deplaning when the "Tauck" sign appears at the pick up area all the anxiety and hassle of long travels vanishes. We know we will be taken care of. In addition the comprehensive price leaves nothing to worry about. The quality of Tauck staff is excellent. This was our first time with Tauck and it will not be our last.

By: Ray B

Reviewed on: 18 Sep 2013

Tauck tours are not for the budget minded. They stay at some of the finest hotels, eat at first rate restaurants (most meals are usually provided) and gain admittance to attractions that other tour operators and individuals are not able to access. Their leaders are highly qualified and very affable, and the tour compositions are well crafted. If you can afford the price, Tauck is clearly the way to go.

Although we were disappointed in the overall tour, the director was excellent and made the most of what we could get out of the trip. We felt like there just isn't enough substance the the Maratimes trip to justify all of the bussing that is required.

Outstanding river cruise with minor disappointments

By: Ralph S

Having taken 6 ocean cruises with Seabourn over the past 4 years, my wife & I have been spoiled by Seabourn's luxury standards. We selected Tauck for our first river cruise on the advice of our Virtuoso travel agent - he said Tauck would be the closest to Seabourn's standards. Our 2-week cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest was outstanding, & Tauck even did a better job than Seabourn in organizing the excellent daily excursions. All staff members were warm, friendly & helpful. We had upgraded to the largest cabin (300 sq ft) to match Seabourn but found the space to be quite a bit less comfortable: cramped, poorly laid out bathroom; wasted, poorly laid out main living space; poor walk-in closet; inadequate storage everywhere. More surprising were the meals: generally OK at breakfast & lunch, but almost mediocre at dinner (especially the entrees); wine selections were uninspiring. Nevertheless, a wonderful experience.

Tour guide Mark C was very knowledgeable and entertaining. The program was well orchestrated. Points of interest were well delineated and visiting tour guides were also very knowledgeable. Accommodations, food and lodging were excellent. One correction--last night together dinner should have had all the guests seated at the same time rather than calling groups of 6 to 12. As a result of this uneven seating arrangement, guests were not all served at the same time--some very late and as a result there was a group that was left and not taken to the WWII Memorial. They had to take a cab to try to catch up to the bus.

I would not recommend Tauck for this particular trip in that we feel we did not get fair value for our money in that Tauck's position is they give more so you pay more. We did not find that true on this particular trip, whereas the trip to Italy was worth every penny extra for the special things done in visiting the Sistine Chapel and the Uffizi Museum. This trip we were one (two) among literally thousands of people visiting the sights and therefore could not see them well enough to appreciate and enjoy. Our guides were awesome. But they could do nothing about the crowds. If Tauck can arrange a private tour of the Sistine Chapel, it would seem they could do something special for all the places in London and Paris which were incredibly crowded on our trip.

This was my 5th Tauck trip so I have obviously been very pleased in the past.

I feel Tauck should have provided some kind of service for us. We were not alone. There were a number of us just sitting in the hotel lobby. We had to handle our own luggage and only had access to it if we could find the bell boy. We were not offered anything from the hotel in regards to refreshment.

Reviewed on: 11 Aug 2014

There were so many memorable experiences we had on our first Tauck River Cruise (from Amsterdam to Budapest) that it's nearly impossible to pick out one favorite. For us, taking our first trip with Tauck, we both agreed the "all inclusiveness" of the trip expenses was perhaps tops on our list, meaning that for us the trip was very relaxing and nearly worry-free. We were able to concentrate each day on new places and new faces. We thoroughly enjoyed the third day when we leisurely cruised along the Rhine River catching sight of all the castles around each bend. The numerous excursions we went on daily took our breath away with everything we saw along the way. If we take another river cruise, it will be with Tauck ... and we would highly recommend the one we went on to anyone considering this trip.

Overall a great trip. We saw so much in 3 weeks! We had a wonderful guide, Pablo who made the atmosphere fun and interesting. The group was great also. I don't think I would take such a long trip covering so many sites again. It was very tiring. We've discovered that we like to stay in one place for 3-4 days so we can get more of a feel for the individual cities. The one criticism I would have of Tauck on this trip is that there was very little time for shopping. It was always part of a bathroom break; 10-30 minutes. Not much, if you want to buy anything beyond a souvenir. Also, I think the Alhambra Palace Hotel should be replaced. The rooms are very out dated. Have the group go for lunch or dinner there instead. Otherwise, lots of food and some wonderful restaurants.

Top Drawer River Cruising

We just completed our third Tauck river tour, and continue to think they are simply the best in the industry. This most recent cruise was on the Danube, and we had several opportunities to talk to travelers on other companies' ships on this massively popular route. None of them had anything like the "Tauck exclusive" evenings (a dinner in a Vienna palace comes to mind), most had many more passengers onboard, and at least one had much larger land tour groups than we had. Tauck's ships are comfortable, their cruise directors are terrific, and their local tour guides are some of the best we have seen. We also really like their all-inclusive pricing, which lets us travel without worrying about additional costs. Can't really imagine river cruising with anyone else at this point.

With Taucks attention to all the details we got to see the river towns without a worry. All there "special treats" were amazing. Dinner and entertainment a Viennese Palace, entertainment of all kinds almost every night from the local towns, Wine tasting in the Wurzburg Palace, burnt beer tastings in Bamberg after a bicycle tour of the town, and all the included tours to the unbelievable venues made the trip one to remember.

Great Trip

Aldine Travel booked family of 12 on a Tauck tour to the Galapagos. We had a great time on board their ship, the Santa Cruz II. The ship held 90 passengers and there were 78 folks on this trip. Several other large family groups. The people were great and enjoyable to be with. People enjoyed each other's company, the ages ranged from 8 to 75+. The accommodations and public spaces were very comfortable. This was our first cruise and we will probably cruise again in a ship that was similar to this size, we have no interest in a larger vessel. The food was plentiful and diverse but sometimes rather bland. There was never a lack of variety at any meal, however. We will definitely take another Tauck tour. The staff was engaging and professional, very knowledgeable in their respective fields.

This was a new trip and there were several glitches. When we departed Florence the Tauck book said to meet the driver at the train station, inside at the ticket depot. No Tauck representative was there and we were 30 minutes early. Bill called the office and Tauck said we were to be outside the pharmacy. No representative was visible. Finally found him outside the depot and we had all been given different info. Two other couples had been picked up in Florence at their hotel and driven to the first Tauck lodging. One vehicle could have transported everyone. Gubbio should not be included for an overnight stay. The hotel was really a poor representation of Tauck. The hotel door and bathroom doors would not stay closed unless you locked them. The last day, when our luggage was picked up early, we returned to our room to get our carry on pieces and the doors were wide open. The itinerary was ambitious and several days we arrived at our destination with minutes to get ready for dinner.

Our tour guide was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful in providing alternatives to some of the activities that were too strenuous for us to participate in.

While this is the only way to see the four places we visited - Grand Canyon, Lake Powell, Brice and Zion - the tour would have benefited from extra guides, perhaps at some of the sites. It would have been a good idea to have a Native American historian on the bus as we drove through Navaho territory. Compared to the European tours, it is relatively inexpensive. So, perhaps that means it was good value. I'd rather pay a little more.

We had never been on a group tour before and had reservations about not having enough freedom and being stuck with people we might not enjoy. We experienced none of that. Tauck has its act together! We were able to avoid most of the lines to exhibits and museums, etc. and had special treatment in several of them. We were on a fast paced trip but felt like we saw the important sights in each city we visited. And we had plenty of free time to explore. A special highlight was a private tour of the Sistine Chapel. There were three other groups there at the same time but it was a far cry from the "sardine" experience the public has seeing it. And the local guides in each city were very knowledgeable and interesting. The hotels were top notch too. I would definitely recommend Tauck to friends and family.

When our transfer from the Amsterdam airport to our hotel (arranged by Tauck) was in a Mercedes sedan, we knew this trip was going to be top notch. We can't say enough about the stateroom. As veterans of numberous ocean cruises, this stateroom was by far the best we've ever had. The itinerary was packed with great sightseeing options (almost too busy), and as non morning people, a few too many 8:30am departures for our taste. The tour directors were all excellent, the food awesome, and the all inclusive format was a pleasant change. They treated us like adults, meaning they gave us choices of exclusions, including ventureing out on our own. Just be back before the boat leaves. Parting notes: Loved the VOX system on tours that allowed me to hear the guide even 50 feet away.

While the cabins were clean and well appointed with friendly and hard working stewards, the dining room was a huge disappointment. The food was uninspired and the service not up to Tauck standards. When I ordered something that was not a featured item but available on the menu, it was served after the rest of the table had finished eating. On top of that, what is appealing about a piece of fish on a white plate with not even a parsley sprig? Rumor has it that Tauck is considering partnering with Seabourn. That would be a genius move, I hope it's true.

I have used Tauck for my travel for about 6 years. Prior to that time, I traveled with my wife who arranged all the details. I now travel as a single. This means that I have a special need for a congenial sharing travel group. This trip like all the others was well organized and my traveling companions were the best group I have experienced. This was an especially active trip and we had some cases of altitude sickness and, although I was not affected, the all the problems were handled well, with discretion and effectively. It is likely that I will book more travel with Tauck.

Mixed Feelings on Trip with Tauck

Great baggage handling, good food and locales on Pacific NW trip. I support their seat assignment rotation process on coach but it didn't work for us as closest to the front for good view for tours, etc. was 5th row. Hotel & Dining at Four Seasons was big disappointment (Vancouver) and should have been handled better by Tauck and hotel. Room not cleaned at 2:00 pm after return from morning tour and we were to leave at 4:30 for evening dining. We were seated in the "bar" for our fine dining experience. When one of our party asked for beef filet (not on the menu) he was told that due to other activities at the hotel they were real busy and could not handle his request. Also, server shared that due to activities at the hotel service may be slower than normal. Others on the tour were seated 1.5 hours after their reservation time in the bar at high table. Not what was expected of Four Seasons or Tauck.

Insightful ,funny & very easily relatable. Knew the small details of where to go & when to avoid the crowds , and where the best coffee & pie stops on our over 1000 mile trip in 7 days . Great asset to Tauck ! Now that being said , and greatly disappointed in the accommodations based upon the lack of value at price charged. The accommodations in the National Park areunderstandably pedestrian , but the I did not expect a cabin that could have been out of the 50's at the Jackson Lake Lodge ! Especially since Tauck wanted to charge me over $300 more for the 2 extra nights pre-tour above and beyond the published rates. The food was best described as a commissary at any public institution anywhere. The Ucross Ranch was great though .

Tauck is an excellent company. I was on a European river cruise with the company.

The cruise director and her tour directors were very knowledgeable and helpful. The tours were well orchestrated and they always kept track of all the people to make sure no one was left behind. In most of the towns we had time after the walking tours to walk or shop on our own. My room steward was awesome and very friendly and when I mentioned that I prefer dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate for my evening treats, she started giving me dark chocolate!! The stewards in the lounges and dining room learn your preferences if you have the same things all the time.

They meet you at the airport when you begin and take you there when you end. Everything in between runs like the proverbial Swiss watch. For their Classic Italy tour, you had better be in good shape. They start early, end late, and there is a good deal of walking in-between. The hotels, food, and beverages were exceptional. The tours were well organized and very informative. Some of the tour guides had difficulty with English. Another difficulty is that you can be turned loose for your free time when you are at some distance from the hotel and do not have a good sense of how to get back. I am picking at nits here. Everything else was professionally done. They are expensive but we did not feel cheated in the least.

We have traveled with Tauck previously, so felt we knew the ins-and-outs. This trip included two back-to-back tours with friends. The Tour Directors were excellent, even exceptional, in both cases. Local guides were also excellently exceptional. The bus drivers also excellent. Hotels were of high quality and service at hotels usually top-notch. Ashford Castle was a real plus but understand Tauck is considering eliminating that stay which would be a disappointment. There are several issues that were unclear when looking at the specifics of the Irish trip in that we spent too much time on the bus driving from place to place. Kinsale, a wonderful location, which we knew from a previous trip, wasn't included, yet visits to Waterford and Belleek were. Personally could have done without those stops but others enjoyed. We would have preferred a choice. Wish Tauck would limit the numbers as there were almost 40 on the Irish part. Lovely people but thirty would have been more pleasant.

Tauck River Cruise Budapest to Amsterdam

By: Merlyn & Valli Brunken

Reviewed on: 30 Oct 2017

I cannot say enough about Tauck. It was "top shelf" everything. The customer service was outstanding. The food, drinks, and accommodations were tops. The cruise directors and the guides were fantastic. We enjoyed them all. The Esprit staff were also amazing and we so courteous and accommodating. The only thing that I would recommend is to have some pharmaceutical "over the counter" medications in the ship "shop". Sundries like Advil, Aleve, Tylenol, Mucinex, Nyquil, etc. would have been very helpful. Everyone on the ship was sick at one time or another and had to go to shore to purchase unfamiliar products with foreign currency. It would be very nice if there were American over-the-counter goods and if travelers could sign a waiver so that the ship/crew/Tauck are not held liable. This would have made an enormous improvement on this long cruise for everyone involved.

Details, details, details = Superb Experience

By: Sugar

From the moment our Tauck representative picked us up at the Amsterdam airport until we were transported to the airport in Zurich, we were made to feel special and pampered. The thing that most impresses us about Tauck is the attention to detail and the quality of those details: fresh flowers in our room, positive attitudes by all staff, security, directors, tour guides, fabulously fresh food presented so beautifully, the enthusiasm and passion of the chef for her creations , chocolates and warm towels after a cold rainy day touring......I could go on and on. This was our first experience with river cruising and with Tauck, both of which exceeded our expectations. The itinerary provided us incredible exposure to old and new cultures, to small towns and villages and to larger cities. Love that the wine steward went into to town at each stop to purchase local wines that would compliment our evening meal, wines that we would not be able to buy anywhere else. Can't beat that!

Tauck was a great operator. The tour was well put together and made enjoyable by our directors. My only comment towards the directors is that I very much enjoyed them but I would have liked to see them mingle a bit more at meals. They always sat together without anyone else. And at times I felt they played favorites. The tour overall though was amazing!

We find Tauck to be dependable, pleasurable and good quality and value for your money. We found this trip (Costa Rica and Panama) not quite up to their usual standards. The sailing ship never once used its sails for propulsion--only for show in ports. There was bus confusion at one point making for delay. On the positive side, the tour operator was excellent as usual; hotel qualities most satisfactory; food excellent ; passing through the canal was in the daylight hours and interesting.

Our Spotlight on New Zealand trip with Tauck was our first international or guided tour. We were looked after splendidly from beginning to end, staying at some great hotels, eating much too well, and best of all, seeing some of the finest that New Zealand has to offer. This tour was well organized and we had a superb guide/director who kept us on schedule with our itinerary which included a few appreciated blocks of free time to do our own thing. The local tour vendors chosen by Tauck are top notch and this includes coach drivers as well as the crew of our chartered flights. Things we would change if we could: On days with special lunches, dinners of that evening could be much lighter; there was just too much to eat in one day. One of our hotels, nice as it was as a whole, had window curtains in our room that were in need of updating and furniture that had a few threadbare corners. We would have preferred a smaller group of fellow travelers.

Accommodations were first class all the way...five star from Cape Town through the "bush" lodges to Jo-Berg's boutique hotel and on to a colonial era classic at Victoria Falls. Was pleasantly surprised with the variety and quality of the food and wine offered. Safari experience was unparalleled...expert rangers and trackers with up close encounters with the wildlife.

We have traveled 7-8 times with Tauck and can't wait to travel with them again. Marcos Soto was our Tour Director for our Patagonia trip 3/9-19 - The best of the best in our opinion. He had weather issues to deal with and he was "on it"....often making a few changes in where we went first and it worked out....with the weather at it's best. It truly was an adventure. He was fun and ever so knowledgable. When he told you about Patagonia - it was because he too loved being there...and you could feel it. He was always available to take pictures...so helpful....We will always remember his words - "when you are walking....look down! When you wish to take a picture - stop". He had such a variety of people and ages....and we all came back in one piece. Hope to travel with him again and again....Absolutely GREAT Tour Director as were all of the local Guides.

This is our 4th Tauck Tour. Previously we had done two tours of Spain, "Andulusia and the Algarve" & " The Paradors of Northern Spain", and a tour Of Scotland. This is the most ambitious tour and is more an expedition adventure than a vacation. It is a more complex tour than most of Tauck offerings with five flights and one week long cruise involved within the trip itself. The trip tour guide was incredibly helpful, well informed and knowledgeable. The travel arrangements within the tour were flawless. And the local guides at each stop in Peru and Ecuador were the finest. Tauck will always be our first choice in the future.
