Very impressed with the organization and quality of our River Cruise. Every detail was covered, and their communication was first rate. Accommodations on M/S Joy we’re top drawer, and Tauck personnel were professional, friendly and very helpful. Our first experience with Tauck, and it won’t be the last. High recommend this company.

Costa Rica and Panama

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.

Amazing. Everything they did was perfect. We stayed in 5 star hotels. Our tour director and guides were very knowledgeable and attentive to all our needs.

Our small ship was comfortable and well appointed with excellent food and accommodations. Our 3 naturalists were native to the islands and very informative. They not only guided us but took excellent pictures and at the end of the trip gave us a DVD with all the pictures and videos. An amazing gift.

South African Trip Of A Lifetime

This was our second tour with Tauck and they once again delivered a simply superb experience from beginning to end. Our tour director was fun, informed and gently persuasive in guiding us seamlessly through a busy, but fun filled itinerary. Every attention to detail taken care of. 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. Celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary, our tour director arranged for a lovely acknowledgement of our occasion at the Lion Sands Lodge near Kruger National Park...the capstone of a trip of a lifetime.

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.

Great!

The only advice I would suggest is to do your homework BEFORE you leave home as to what you want to do in your free time--of which there is quite a bit. Some things were already sold out by the time we arrived...the Hotels were fabulous and located right in the middle of everything so walking to sights was a snap--Rome was a little more challenging in that respect

These two tours were our sixth and seventh with Tauck, and we experienced the same wonderful level of organization and guides that we have come to expect. Tauck takes the work out of travelling and takes care of everything - transfers, luggage, tips, special events like our private viewing of the Sistine Chapel in Rome, and everything in between including most of our food. The Classic Italy trip showed us the opulence and crowded highlights of Italy. Scandinavia showed us the austerity, practicality and spaciousness of Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. We went from sumptuous delicious meals in Italy to plain, straightforward food in Norway, from walking five to seven miles a day to three to five miles a day, and busses and boats to busses, boats, trains, and planes, all with plenty of stops to see everything along the way. My biggest juxtaposition of opposites was seeing the gilded churches in Rome, Florence. and Venice and then going to a 1000-year-old stave church in Norway.

Canadian Rockies Tour

By: Rob


Reviewed on: 20 Jul 2018

Tauck is a premier tour company and takes this title VERY seriously. Although there tours seem to be more expensive than other tour operators, when you factor in the ALL inclusive nature of their tours along with the premium food, drink and accommodations, it all is fairly the same. Their attention to detail is superb and they packed this tour with many fun things to do and se. Since this was a "family" tour catering to parents/grandparents and their kids, Tauck made sure to include activities the kids would enjoy, such as white water rafting, glacier walking and hike into the canyons. Tauck is very accommodative and no request seems to cause them problems. For this tour, our Director, Melisa Colabella, was incredible making the tour even more special.

Best of Ireland

By: John


Reviewed on: 01 Aug 2018

We really enjoyed the Best of Ireland, but there was an issue throughout. We would not want to be directed by this trips Director again. Although she was under some emotional distress – broken up with her boyfriend – we believe, for the most part, she behaves the same way always. That is, she was snippy and overly concerned about being on time even to the point of telling our group that she was not going to baby sit us. We felt she was much more concerned about her time than ours. She was knowledgeable about Ireland, supplied us with a lot of very good information about Ireland and its rich history, still we felt that she basically did the minimum required of a Director. Frankly, we had too much free time. Would liked to have seen more sites like the Blarney Stone. Our Director last year in France (Jacqueline Bucchi) was an "A+" Director. This years Director (Gail Hazen), I am sorry to say, was a "C-". We are still very much looking forward to our next Tauck trip next year.

Tauck is beyond words when it comes to describing a River Boat cruise. From the second we left our house in Florida until we landed in Paris, the arrangements were beyond perfect. Things only got better as we embarked from Paris with the amazing Tauck Company, crew and ship (Ms Sapphire)…we still pinch ourselves. I can only say that Tauck steps up to customer service beyond anyone we have ever experienced. Their expertise of what travel should be was apparent in every second of our journey. Thanks to Tauck and each and everyone single person involved in our cruise….it was and still remains way above any expectations we could have ever imagined. Dreams do come true….visit Tauck!

I have taken 17 Tauck Tours (U.S., Europe, Japan). Their choices for accommodations can not be surpassed, their tour directors are A+, often speak multiple languages fluently and are knowledgeable about their surroundings. The itineraries are well thought out and vetted to the max. For the land tours, the bus drivers are impressive and the best in the world navigating difficult roadways with hairpin turns and even backing a 42 passenger bus on to a flatbed train car. The included dine in reservations to order what you want off the menu from the hotel restaurants is a great idea and a chance to get to know your fellow travelers.

Tauck is OK under certain circumstances

By: Mike R


Reviewed on: 27 Sep 2022

We had a good experience with Tauck a few years ago on a European river cruise, but a decidedly lesser experience on our recent Alaska trip which was one week overland combined with a one week cruise. We had expected the cruise portion to be on a small ship as the original website ad stated "Tauck ship." That ship turned out to be a 3500 passenger Princess ship. Tauck partners with Princess for the hotels as well, and these do not come close to offering the experience that we expected from a Tauck tour. Overall, the food was mediocre at best. Tauck did not provide us with a detailed cruise activity itinerary until the day before we boarded, so that complicated how we could schedule other activities. Most of the scheduled activities were combined with other large tour groups which led to experiences that were far less enjoyable than we expected.

When I called Tauck about this I was told that this is offered by the travel agent at their discretion, as long as they participate in their virtual sessions. My agent was a Virtuoso affiliate and I was informed by Tauck that they book a lot of business with them. Overall we thought Tauck did a great job and will probably go with them again.However, when someone else on the very same trip gets treated better than you, it just leaves a bad taste.

England, Scotland & Wales tour October 2024

For me, the tour covered too much and too superficially. Not enough time at Hadrian's wall, Oxford or Stonehenge. Seemed very rushed and exhausting. Except for the London hotel, the hotels were below the quality and level that I expect from Tauck tours. The 2 hotels in the Lake District and Wales were far too distant from anyplace walkable - leaving "dead" time. Not enough planned in London. Other than a theatre night and visit to Westminster Abbey, people were left on their own to figure out and do anything else. Would have been nice to have "structured options". Tour Director did a great job of "adding" unplanned walks. Tour Director was well-organized and caring. Tour had a number of "special" items, e.g., dinner at a college in Oxford, dinner guest of a former Royal Chef. I did not enjoy the tour as much as some others on the tour did.

Everything about our Blue Danube riverboat cruise was top notch. We loved the directors ( Sinead, Bara and Joe and cruise director Eszter) who were so knowledgeable, helpful and fun. All of the guides were extremely informative, and Martin, who lectured on the history of Slovakia from before WWI to the present was particularly fabulous in his presentation! The staff of the riverboat were so nice and engaging and they pampered us throughout our journey. We really enjoyed Nuno’s music onboard each evening and enjoyed chatting with all the crew and staff. We met wonderful fellow travelers, some of whom we hope to stay in touch with. The cities and towns we visited were a great combination of lovely, majestic, historical and charming. The Tauck directors designed a lot of unique and moving surprises (like the beautiful opera performance in the hall in Budapest opera house) and lavished special gifts and remembrances on us. A very classy, well-organized, thoughtful & memorable trip!

Travel arrangements to tour attractions were always by luxury coach, flights were prearranged and we were handed our boarding passes on the coach, negating the need to visit the airline counter. Our checked luggage was picked up in our room before departing and was in our room upon arrival at our next destination. The sites that we visited were varied, some well known (Pearl Harbor) others were lesser known but very interesting. We visited sites that we have never discovered on our own.

As expected, the Tauck experience was excellent. Great people. Great service. Great ship and food. Great local tour guides. And traveling with our best friends is always a delight. However, the Christmas Markets themselves were, for me, underwhelming. After having heard many rave reviews, I expected music, choirs, merriment, nativity scenes...you get the point. Certainly, every market was clean and tidy. Each vendor's stand was neat and stocked with what appeared to be locally produced Christmas goods. The food and drink were good. But after seeing a couple, you pretty much saw them all. It didn't help that the weather was overcast, cold and sometimes drizzly for the entire trip. The tours of palaces and cathedrals were well done, but I've done that before.

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.

Tauck Tours came to us highly recommended and did not disappoint. It is hard to know where to start with the kudos; 1) the food was delicious, plentiful, and scrumptious. 2) the ship was immaculate, and the cabin stewards did everything they could to make the cabin a home away from home. 3) the other travelers on the ship were interesting and fun to meet and engage. 4) the maitre d' was sensitive to my dietary restrictions and walked me through the menu at every meal. He also made a special effort to find gluten free bread and beer to make my meals enjoyable. 5) the trips/tours were lead by engaging guides who really knew their stuff and were eager to share enthusiasm about the city or site we were visiting. 6) the tours were also small-ish, so it did not feel like a cattle call as we walked through cathedrals, castles and other sites. 7) Tauck has a tradition (who knew?) of surprises for guests. We received cable car rides, chocolate, and couple of other gifts. Great trip!!

The crew was just incredible. The chef's plates were inventive and delicious -- he even cooked a suckling pig one night. The staff made every effort to accommodate us and by the end of the trip they were almost family. Even when we were in a town for lunch, the agents gave us 20 euros each to have lunch on them in a restaurant of our choice. You never have to pull out your wallets.

Of 3 Tauck Trips this was the most disappointing. The Tauck Tour Director was not very good and talked constantly while we were on the group bus, even though about half of what she was saying was of marginal value. She seemed on the lazy side and could be a little snippy. For example, while touring through many many olive groves I asked the purpose of the solar panels in the middle of the groves. She replied " I TOLD YOU ABOUT SOLAR ENERY TWO DAYS AGO".About an hour later she said "Oh, I'm sorry but the answer to your question is that it powers the olive grove irrigation system. We had a few days when we arrived very late (and exausted) at our hotels. Part it was because the local tours took 90-120 minutes when we could have effectively cover the local tour in 1/2 the time without excessive details.

For us, the hotels and meals that Tauck arranges set the standard for our travels. A Tauck Douro River Cruise, from which we just returned, offered some of the finest dining that we have enjoyed whether in our home area or away.

ocky Mountaineer trip Canadian Rockies

By: spot


Reviewed on: 22 Sep 2023

This was not the best trip we have had with Tauck. It wasn't awful but sometimes just trying. The train was late the first night - nobody tells you until you are on the train that commercial trains have the right of way and Rocky Mountaineer has to stop and wait while they pass. We were seveal hours late arriving the first night. Everything on the train was fine - they kept us well fed and the bar was always open. Just longer than expected and some guests didn't take the delay too well - there was a lot of complaining which others did not really want to listen to. Overall the food was rathering boring - it seemed to be rather similar - like a catering menu - at several of the hotels. I won't be eating steelhead trout for a while. However, the food at Lake Louise was very good - best of the whole trip. But the trip to Lake Louise was a waste of time. We arrived at dinner time - it was very smoky - not wise to go out to see the lake - we got up, ate breakfast and left.

Reviewed on: 21 Sep 2023

This is the second trip that I have taken with Tauck where part of the trip was on a ship. As with our first trip involving part of the trip being on a ship I felt that the dining room staff was below Tauck standards. I am not sure if the problem had to do with a language barrier, bad communication between the wait staff and the kitchen, both or just inadequate training. I also am surprised by the fact that the menu seemed to be very much influenced french cuisine. I know the ship is a french run ship but every passenger was American. I would think this would be taken into consideration when planning a menu. The rest of the staff on the ship were excellent. The cabins were very nice and the cleaning staff was very good. The entertainment could have been a little more varied.

My experience with Tauck was very positive; this is an excellent tour. When I grew up these cities were behind the Iron Curtain; I never thought I would visit them. So I was encouraged to find Central Europe vibrant and thriving. Our guide was knowledgeable and well-organized. He also did not talk too much, limiting his conversation to sharing interesting historical facts and essential information (a real plus in a guide). He had a good sense of humor, learned our names quickly, kept careful track of our numbers. The hotels were luxurious and relaxing. The coach was comfortable; the local guides were good. I have only one suggestion. This tour is athletic; we walked between 14,000 and 17,000 steps a day. On coach days, everyone slept. I was comfortable with this agenda but it would be a challenge for someone with mobility issues--and there was one person who couldn't keep up. I suggest letting people know about the high activity level of this tour.

When you add in all the tickets you don't have to pay for and the tips you don't have to hand out at every turn, Tauck is a bargain.

The whole agenda is terrific. Lots of interest in so many different areas. One surprise was the beauty of Ottawa. In Ottawa we got to see some Supreme Court justices (what a surprise). Our guide was probably the best we have ever had (that does noto mean taking away from the others as all have been great). A truly great experience.

Outstanding river cruise with minor disappointments

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.

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.

The trip to Iceland was well planned & orchestrated. We found the country full of interesting places and lots of history. It was a bit busy, not much down time. I was not too impressed with the food on board. The main dining room did not offer a lot of choices. Arriving the day before, left us with no help or room until late afternoon. 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. The person who met us at the hotel was not efficient. We all hoped the rest of the trip was going to be better. It was. I would recommend this trip to others.

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.

Baltics and Russia

Reviewed on: 01 Sep 2019

Only Tauck trip we have done. On balance, recommend them, but struggling a bit with this. Operationally, the trip worked great and there were a few 'bonuses' that were quite effective, like a night at the ballet in St Petersburg and getting into the Hermitage before it opened for the general public. On the other hand, the client to guide ratio of 20:1 at sites was way too high and some of the places we went to for lunches and dinners were unnecessarily touristy and cheesy. In secondary markets, we were staying in tier one hotels (Vilnius/Riga/Talinn) with decent-sized rooms. In St Petersburg, where we were for 4 nights, the hotel was tired and overbooked with tour groups and we were in a standard room that was tight space-wise. Felt like they were compromising on some aspects of the experience to preserve margins.

As usual, the Tauck tour and river cruise was excellent. Nice itinerary, good pace, great food and drink. We had an emergency when traveling by train from Milan to Basel, the train track and roads were blocked by tree limbs caused by a storm. The Tauck guides made their passengers as comfortable as possible, opened up the railway bar, obtained food. When it was apparent we were not going to make it to Basel by train, they had buses standing by to take us back to our hotel. All the room keys were ready, they had wine and proseco and pasta waiting and gave us money so we could order room service or go out to dinner. The next more we were back on the buses and stopped in Lucerne for a tour and lunch. So although we missed one night on the boat, the delay was handled a nicely as could be done under the circumstances.

Tauck's Classic Italy is a great itinerary for anyone looking to get a broad exposure to all Italy has to offer. The Tauck experience is first class and I do not hesitate to recommend this trip. The Tauck Tour Leader was exceptional (Tony Cacace). He kept us on schedule and had a great deal of background about each cite that he was able to share with us...and always with enthusiasm and good humor. Italy was very crowded everywhere we went, but Tauck's after-hours private tours at many sites allowed us to enjoy the visits in a quiet, nicely paced way. The hotels were generally good, but almost all had showers in tubs that were not easy or safe to access. One hotel room was extremely noisy (street noise, band from hotel bar) and nothing was done to change room. Overall, I recommend Tauck for those looking for a well-run travel experience.

Tauck provided an exciting itinerary on land and sea. Hard to come home without one complaint...but we have none - it was a great trip in all areas. The cruise back to Vancouver on the Sapphire Princess was also 1st class - our mini-suite was very comfortable. Princess also got us off the ship in record breaking time. Traveling with Tauck put us in front of lines and we had our own dining space reserved every night. Tauck knows how to travel...and they always do a great job. Again, Ernst was everything one could hope for in a tour director. He was available, knowledgable, fun, organized, no question was a dumb question, great photographer and he was fun. Thank you Tauck!

We took the two week small group Italy immersion tour. We by and large were very pleased with our Tauck experience. Our tour leader, Anna, was terrific. The itinerary was excellent. We especially appreciated the after hours tours and being able to bypass the lines at all tours. The small group tour featured boutique hotels. While the locations were perfect, we were disappointed in a few of the hotels themselves. We know European hotel rooms can be small. However, a few of these were absolutely tiny. The showers were equally difficult. The other area we would like to see improved was food quality. With only a few exceptions, we felt the food was just "ok". We expected a bit higher quality for the price of this tour. Overall however, we would recommend the Tauck Italy immersion tour for their excellent itinerary, attention to the smallest detail, and great tour guides.

Our Danube River Cruise with Tauck on “The Joy” was wonderful. The cabin was comfortable with plenty of closet space and a full size bath. The food was spectacular, itinerary exciting, service was very good and food was excellent. The pre and post cruise Hotels were convenient and charming with one being classic and the other contemporary. The tour directors and local tour guides were competent and very well informed and the “extra’s” that Tauck is famous for made us fell very special and well taken care of. In particular the 3 dinners off-ship at private venues were delicious and the entertainment superb. A private ballet, Opera and orchestra performance at one event was such a memorable surprise, as was a private Opera performance at the Budapest Opera House. Equally memorable to visiting Budapest, Vienna and Prague was our stops at small town ports, especially visiting the home of local villagers. We loved the surprise Halloween extravaganza.

Danube Holiday Magic Cruise

By: Travel


Reviewed on: 05 Jan 2024

The trips should be marketed as "child centric" vs "family friendly". On the Danube cruise, we only had 3 hours in Budapest, and 1 hr was spent cookie making. We didn't see Fisherman's Bastion, though we were very close during the visit to Castle Hill. We didn't see St Stephen's, nor the Opera House. We passed Hero's Square on the bus. We were ushered back to the boat by 4:15pm, even though we were not scheduled to depart until 6:15pm. The itinerary should have been better managed to accomodate more time in Budapest. However, when the Danube became flooded and we could not sail, they did a good job of getting us on buses to Salzburg. Once in Salzburg, too much time was spent at lunch and we had to choose between eating or getting to see the town. We left the restaurant and went sightseeing on our own. Those who stayed with the group tour did not get to see Mirabelle which is just across the river, and those who waited on lunch saw nothing if they were the last served. Ship was nice!

At times when Tauck did not serve a destination in which were were interested, we have taken land tours and cruises on riverboats and small ships with operators that might be considered Tauck competitors, and in each case we found that Tauck compared very favorably with those other operators.

We really enjoyed the Netherlands and Belgium River cruise. Tauck does an amazing trip, everything well planned and orchestrated so that you don't have to worry about the details and can enjoy each day out and about. The SS Treasures was a beautiful river boat and the crew was fantastic, as was the food. It is especially nice that everything is covered in the price, including wine and cocktails. Special treats were frequent, Champagne, oysters, and off the boat special dinning such as the amazing luncheon at Chateau Neercane. Very poigint visit to the Netherlands American Military Cemetary, excellent local guides, and of course the tulips. We enjoyed this river cruise so much that we have already booked another Tauck river cruise next year.

Top Drawer River Cruising

By: Beach Folks


Reviewed on: 24 Jul 2015

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.

The last trip of the season, (before the Christmas Tours) was perfect. From the first day to the last, weather held with very little problems with rain.

It was almost like being on your own private cruise ship, got to know the crew, the Tauck representatives and the other passengers like they were family, It could not have been a better trip for getting to know your great traveling companions, which is always an unknown when planning a trip. 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.

Again Tauck did an outstanding event. This was my 7th trip with them and an 8th is booked. The Jazz Event was the best possible, learned a lot and had fun, and Tauck took care of all the details. We senior citizens just enjoyed ourselves

Tauck National Park Tour

This was our first Tauck tour and both my husband and I were very impressed. (Our trip included Sedona, the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell, Bryce, and Zion). In particular, our tour director, Don, definitely added to our positive experience. He is very knowledgeable and made certain that every detail was perfect. He really worked very hard. Therefore, based upon our experience on this tour, we would sign up for other Tauck tours.

Tauck Canyon Lands Tour

This was our first Tauck tour. It was expensive but worth the money. They were able to get us lodging in the Nat'l Parks that we'd never have gotten and all of the side trips they arranged were excellent. The Truck guide was superb. He, Don, was very knowledgeable and shared his knowledge throughout all of our down moments.

Jenee Palmer-Sundby - Tour Director & Peter Giossi Coach Captain. This team was very efficient and we cannot give them enough praise, which they deserve. The tour planning each day was well organized from start to finish. We felt relaxed that we were in good hands. We are convinced Jenee and Peter went above and beyond in their duties to assist us in all our needs. They are very professional and knowledgeable in their field of work. They should be commended by the Tauck Tour Company.
