Family bridges tour

By: Lpc

Reviewed on: 10 Aug 2018

This was my second Tauck tour this year and it will be my last. Hotel accommodations in Paris not acceptable for a quality tour company. Tauck dismissive re my complaint. They booked a king room for 3 adults expecting the 3rd person to sleep on a folding cot which could not safely fit in the room. Tauck would not reimburse for larger room. Their choice of hotel provided rude and inefficient service. Will not use this tour company again. Too many other options to feel my complaint did not warrant better resolution. Far inferior to experience with Abercrombie.

Our tour director was excellent. She kept us on schedule and adapted so well to anything that arose. She was knowledgeable, friendly and accessible. She knew when to be present and when to let us have our space to explore. There was something for everyone on the tour which helped to keep us engaged. The driver did a superb job in navigating the coach in tight areas and accommodating all our luggage. Tauck did disclose that the coach had limited overhead storage area, which was totally understandable. You want as much window viewing area as possible. The leg space on the coach, however, was very tight for my 6'5' husband. While it didn't matter for shorter jaunts, longer times on the coach were uncomfortable for him as his knees were shoved into the seat in front of him which caused him to also take-up more of my seat beside him. I hate to see motor coaches go the same way as the airlines. We did upgrade our airline seats before we left to avoid this situation.

I cannot review the Tauck Blue Danube Cruise, since the cruise was canceled due to the low level of water in the river. However, I can say that they handled the cancellation of the trip in a very professional manner. We were given options when the trip was canceled, including a complete refund of your total payment for the trip. We decided take the refund, and tour the cities via land. During our trip, we met many people that were still staying on their river boats, because their cruise line refused to cancel the trip. They were very disappointed in their trip and the cruise line that just refused to cancel the trip. I would definitely book a trip with Tauck again, given their level of customer service. They understand putting the customer first.

Tauck Tour Operator - America's Canyonlands Tour

By: None

Reviewed on: 22 Sep 2018

Our Tauck Tour Operator was good, not excellent. He did not offer too much in the way of extra sites we could visit while staying for a while at each location. One very annoying thing that occurred was when we were at our last destination at the end of our tour, our carry on luggage was accidentally left behind in the bus's baggage compartment. After much searching they found that this carry on was never removed from the baggage compartment and that the driver was half way to Phoenix and therefore we would not be able to have our luggage that night. Our tour director promised that the luggage would be overnighted to our home the next day. We never received the luggage until 4 days later without even an apology for the long wait. We had to keep in contact with our travel agent to see if the luggage was ever going to be shipped. It seemed like hit-and-miss if the carry on would every be shipped. This was very poor customer service indeed and it put a damper on a great vacation.

This was my second Tauck trip. As in my first experience our accommodations were top notch and I really appreciate that all tipping for basic services were included in the cost of the trip. I think Tauck does an excellent job of selecting a variety of activities and I especially enjoyed the sheepdog demonstration on my most recent trip. If I had any negative comments from my most recent experience it would be in the quality of our trip director. I felt that she was consistently excessively loud and rather annoying in the way that she talked to us much like a group of schoolchildren going on a field trip each day. However she has been employed by Tauck for decades so apparently this type of behavior is rewarded. The director for my first Tauck experience was wonderful in every way and she enhanced our daily experiences.

My husband required a walk in shower which we got, but some didn’t even have a grab bar. When I asked, they sent a wobbly shower chair. (Grand Hotel)! Also the handicap rooms were never as nice as the regular rooms especially the Marriott “basement room” This is not the fault of Tauck, but they should inform the hotels they use to do better with those rooms, as many of the Tauck travelers are “Seniors” & require the safety features.

By: Livvy

Reviewed on: 06 Oct 2018

My experience with Tauck was a bit different this time around. I’m used to river boat cruises where there is a cruise director on board, along with two fabulous tour guides. This time we had two Tauck guides on Le Ponant with no Tauck cruise director. This created a different dynamic. Our guides are very accustomed to the Le Ponant boat. Most of the travelers were not. The boat’s accommodations are uncomfortably tiny. The ship itself is old and much in need of remodeling. While I look forward to future river cruises with Tauck, I wouldn’t sail on Le Ponant again. As usual, Tauck had lots of interesting daily excursions planned. Keeping us busy was the rule of the day. Unfortunately, at the end of the trip, we encountered a hurricane that prevented our tour of Malta. Tauck made every effort to get us from Siracusa to Malta. That was an extremely long day, but we missed touring the beautiful and fascinating cities of Valletta and Medina.

We have traveled many different ways - independent travel completely on our own, in small groups, with a number of tour companies, and by land, sea and air. In my opinion, Tauck is absolutely the best company to travel with in any form. Every aspect of your trip is taken care of, and they don't even allow a problem to occur. Example - when we arrived in Calgary, the limo driver did not have us on his list. He took us to the hotel anyway, and along the way gave me his phone to call Tauck. Even though it was Saturday, the Tauck rep looked up the info, made the change, and told the driver that it was all taken care of. One phone call and the issue was completely resolved. On the trip itself, we stayed in the best rooms (always the ones with the killer views), ate the best food, and had the best guides and experiences. Dining was usually not in a group, but we were able to select items off the menu just like any other patron. I highly recommend Tauck.

Mediterranean Tauck Cruise

We were very disappointed in this trip. Me had a fantastic experience on our last Tauck Trip, Danube. The food on the ship was terrible at best. Every night we had some selections that were un edible, example Rib Eye Steak, all courses came at one time. cold food. Servers were unaware or just didn’t care when food was bad. breakfast ending at 9Am is ridiculous. Cold eggs, not fresh fruit. We invited our Niece and nephew and we’re embarrassed by the food and dinner service and rules for no food after dinner except room service! flFor the cost, this should be Top Product

Tauck has provided us with five-star trips in the past. We’re real fans! However, our recent Treasures of the Mediterranean Isles tour was a disappointment in virtually every respect. The time on Malta was uninformative and poorly executed, group meals ashore were ghastly, meals (entrees) aboard ship were just as bad, the Tauck representatives who embarked with the tour in Malta were aloof throughout, the foot tour in Aix was an absolute embarrassment, etc. if this had been our first tour with Tauck it would have been our last . . . since it was not, we’ll give it another chance.

We really enjoyed the trip. Tauck took care of all the details - getting us places, getting us checked in, luggage always appears in your room and is taken to the bus. Great hotels and restaurants. Two areas for improvement: 1) Often, tour group arrives at a hotel at 4PM or later for a 2 night stay — that means you are packing and unpacking A LOT, and you don’t really get to enjoy the hotel amenities. Recommend a minimum of 3 nights in each place. 2) We would have liked a bit more education on Spain & Portugal - both current lifestyle and history.

Our tour guide (WJ) was exceptional. He worked extremely hard in keeping a large group (37 individuals) happy, on time, and organized. His patience, kindness, sense of humor, pride in his country, and concern for everyone was evident. The Tauck experience fell short of our expectations. The size of the group was considerably larger than we were told it would be. As a result, dining became complicated, e.g. crowded rooms, crowded seating, and prolonged meal times e.g., an hour before the first course and subsequent courses. At the Masonic Hotel in Napier, the staff was great, however, both the lodging and the hotel food were substandard. In our opinion, the tour should have spent less time in Napier and more time in Auckland. More time touring the North Island, perhaps including a visit to Hobbiton, would have been great. Highlights: Mt Cook & Tasman Glacier experience, the Dart River Adventure, accommodations & meals(excluding Napier), incredible scenery, and great bus drivers.

I took the Blue Danube River Cruise. Tauck is a high end tour company. I’m not in a salary bracket to automatically and always take a high end tour. I did it for this trip. It was worth every penny. As I’ve compared notes with people who did the same itinerary with other companies, I see that Tauck provided exceptional and exclusive opportunities not available on other tours. Some examples: We got to engage in conversation with one of the Lubkowicz princesses, who spoke about her family’s journey to reclaim collections that had been confiscated by Communist and Nazi governments. We went behind the scenes of Strahov Monastery, touring areas that most people can view only from behind velvet ropes. Port cities require coins for public toilets. Tauck hands you coins at each port for the toilets. We needed different currency for each city, so that amenity is not as insignificant as you might think. The tour is truly all-inclusive. I got even more than I paid for.

We truly enjoyed our River Cruise, Lisbon and Madrid. Tauck chose two wonderful hotels. We fell in love with the people in Portugal. The reception the first night at Queluz National Palace was a bit rushed with little time or none to see the grounds. The dinner itself was confusing to all at our table. A menu was presented but orders never taken. It turns out all three choices were served to everyone. Just a bit confusing. The Palace itself did not impress and didn’t seem up to Tauck’s usual standards. We’ve done Tauck land tours before and been wowed by the amazing places they have chosen for the first and last reception. It could be river cruises with Tauck are more limited in choices. Also, dinners on the ship were often something we didn’t eat so we would choose from the alternative menu that remained the same every night. At lunch they prepared different chicken or Turkey options such as Turkey piccata which was delicious and could easily be done in the evening.

As far as the tour goes, it was magnificent but some scheduling issues did take away from the tour itself but overall a good experience. Unfortunately some of the mornings seemed extremely rushed and you could not enjoy your breakfast and it did not seem to be a worthwhile way to spend the morning. We understand when there was a boat or train to catch but the other days, more time should have been given to the morning breakfast before starting bus trips to wherever.

(I remember a beautiful old library in Prague where other tours were peeking through a half-doorway to see inside.

England, Scotland & Wales tour October 2024

By: Molly

Reviewed on: 14 Nov 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.

Fabulous Blue Danube Cruise

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!

Breakfast buffets had numerous options, we were able to select any menu items that suited our tastes for lunch and dinner. 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. The Tour Director, Diane Chase, had expert knowledge of tour policies, procedures, history of the sites and of the resorts where we stayed. We are planning another Tauck Tour in the near future.

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.

I have been fortunate to have had two extraordinary Tour Directors in my 9 Tauck trips. The remaining ones get the job done and are mostly okay, but don’t go out of their way to make the trip special. As a solo traveller you pay 150% and oftentimes get the worst rooms. I had to request another room in one hotel, as it didn’t even look clean. Tauck is good about making this happen. This particular hotel was in need of a refresh. I have concluded that I am too independent and don’t like being herded around and forced to do activities I am not interested in. One day, a 12+ hour day, visited two hill towns with an hour “kill time” in Chinatown-like tourist shops (Otranto) until it was time to go out into the country for a folk dance performance and dinner. My time is precious, I did not want to do this, expressed that and was brushed off saying “oh, you will enjoy it.”. So I was stuck. I like to wander, experience a town, sit in a cafe and watch people.

Greek Islands were Spectacular

Reviewed on: 25 Jul 2022

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience with Tauck and Windstar. Tauck looks out after every detail. Our Tauck tour guide was attentive to our needs. I have special dietary requirements and I did not have a problem because our tour guide made sure all my food was right for me. Her attention to detail and communication made me feel comfortable so I was able to enjoy the tour experience and not have to worry about getting sick. Our tour program was very well organized. The daily tour guides on each island were familiar with our overall trip plan, so they were aware of what we were seeing on other days and connected to objects and history at one location with that of another. We had a very special dinner outside the library at Ephesus with a chamber orchestra performing for us. Our island tours were made extra special with surprise experiences, such as a private olive oil tasting. Our Tauck guide made great recommendations for places to eat and do during our free time.

We have been on a number of Tauck tours and they never fail to take great care of us. The Ponant ship was smaller (189 passengers) than we’ve experienced in the past, with only 2 restaurants and somewhat limited selections. The local tour guides were superb, as always. From the time we arrived in Venice until we got back to the airport, they took great care of us, with one exception. Venice airport is challenging and our Tauck rep disappeared once we got to the check in desk. Also, we made it to our gate only a short time prior to boarding. They really needed to get us to the airport earlier, especially given the very long line at the security check point.

Expensive Tour Led My Immature Host

By: Owen

Reviewed on: 10 Jul 2022

As an educated traveler with considerable knowledge of ancient and contemporary history, I was thrilled to learn that my family secretly put together this Tauck tour of Italy. I was told that the guide would be highly knowledgeable of the subject matter and the places we were scheduled to visit. Although nice and very friendly, he wound up farming all of tours out to local guides. He was barely visible except during the parts of the tour that required our transportation to the various cities. His compassion felt "canned" in regard to my mother's handicap, which limited her mobility. We were told that she could not visit the Colleseum in Rome but soon found out that this was not the case; the historic site is fully handicap accessible. We scheduled a seperate tour on our free time to ensure she was able to enjoy it. Our family was segregated from the larger group in other instances. We obviously stressed our host and will ensure that we will not make the same mistake again.

I have taken Tauck trips before and they have been first class all the way from the hotels and the rooms assigned, to the food, the tour guides and the sites visited. We were disappointed in some of the hotels and the food. In addition, there were a number of top tourist attractions which we did not visit, some of which we did on our own. There were many on our tour who felt that Tauck had cut corners and as a result it impacted the first class experience we had expected.

This was our 13th trip with Tauck with Julie coordinating everything. We have always throughly enjoyed our travels with Tauck. They are an up-scale, all inclusive travel operator, and include a lot of extras that really make their trips special. This trip had been delayed twice because of COVID. We were so looking forward to it. We are fully vaccinated, with both boosters. We tested negative for COVID the day before we flew to Iceland but somehow got exposed and became symptomatic the 3rd day of the cruise and were guaranteed immediately to our cabin and could not leave it for the duration of the cruise. Both Tauck and their cruise partner Ponant could not have treated us better. While we could not leave our cabin for any reason, the ship's medical team checked on us daily, room service was available for our meals, and we had a great view from our cabin balcony. We have our 14th Tauck tour this September also with Ponant. We look forward to it!!!

We have traveled with Tauck many times before and have expected only the best.

Although the tour director was great and the tour itself very good, the accommodations and esp the resort restaurants were a disappointment. Our recommendations are to wait to take another Tauck tour until things settle down or Tauck should decrease their costs. Just because a place has always been wonderful that Tauck has used, they should reevaluate them to see if they still measure up to Tauck’s standards.

Tauck - A Week in Scotland

By: D and J

Reviewed on: 29 Sep 2024

We wanted to see as much of Scotland as possible and this tour seemed to be the best. Our guide was excellent. She was knowledgeable and friendly. Our group was congenial and respectful of each other in terms of showing up on time, etc. Our hotels were excellent. Our only complaint is that Tauck seems to have discontinued its dining-around program. There was no longer any choice. Most of our meals were in our hotels. While the food there was very good, getting out and eating at a local restaurant gives you an experience you will not get cloistered in your hotel.

This was our 3rd Tauck Tour. We did the Small Group Tour to Ireland. It was absolutely wonderful. Our Tour Director was a brilliant woman with an absolutely amazing knowledge of history, geography, culture and people. She was articulate and very interesting and was alway around to see to every detail of the trip. The places we stayed were wonderful. At Ashford Castle my husband shot clays while I rode a Connemara pony. The castle, food and grounds were spectacular and the staff outstanding. The other stops were almost equal to Ashford. We so enjoyed Northern Ireland and the history. The Titanic Experience in Belfast was so interesting. The landscape of beautiful seashores and rugged cliffs and the food, wonderful. Having great weather was also lucky. Tauck always throws in surprises along the way which I will not spoil but the one on the last day was absolutely amazing.

We have recently traveled on our fourth Tauck tour, this time on a Bridges trip to the Galapagos with our grandchildren. Tauck, once again, performed wonderfully. Our Tour director was marvelous with the entire group especially the children. He was extremely organized and sensitive to the needs of the kids helping them to be educated and to have a fun time. All of the logistics worked efficiently and we came away from the journey anxious to boast about the experience to friends.

South of France River Cruise

Fabulous!! Go if you can! This trip begins in Paris and ends in Monte Carlo. The ship is beautiful and elegant. The food and drink are exquisite and plentiful, the guests were delightful, and of course Tauck takes the worry out of travel. Once you are picked up at the airport you can put your brain to rest. ALSO, this is the FIRST river cruise I had the opportunity to actually be on the top deck as the boat sailed. I was beginning to think it never happened except in the brochures. On this trip there were SEVERAL days when sailing was in the afternoon and temperatures were perfect for lounging upstairs while sailing.

Outstanding river cruise with minor disappointments

By: Ralph S

Reviewed on: 18 May 2014

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.

Particularly special was the the elegant dinner and performance in the Viennese Palace - a magical evening! The local tour guides were exceptional and added greatly to the experience. The ship was in beautiful condition and the all areas of service were excellent. The only negative was the lack of information on our embarkation location for independent travelers. LOTS of information about airport transfers and Tauck hotel pickup, but none for us. We only were able to get our departure pier information from our hotel concierge. We had our travel agent specifically call Tauck for this information, and they gave her what turned out to be the disembarkation information for the end of the trip - Useless!

Week in London/Paris

By: Sandra

Reviewed on: 10 Jul 2014

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. This time I was very disappointed that there was no effort to incorporate or introduce the various children and families on the trip to each other, which they had done masterfully on all the other trips. It is not a difficult thing to do and when I suggested it to the leader he did not seem to know how to do it much less have any interest in how it might be done. The relationships that the children form is a big part of the Bridges experience.

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.

Examples include dinner in a castle in Prague, with live music and a discussion given by the heir to the Castle. We had similar experiences in Budapest and Vienna. Great entertainment on the boat as well. No details were overlooked and they took care of everything once our flight landed, up until return transfer to the airport.

Tauck is a pro. Each tour manager is unique and has his/her own style. All are well trained and experienced. Andrea was friendly, humorous, and offered opinions and recommendations upon request. He tries to respond to the "mood" of each group, and focus on what seems to be demands; this means that the squeaky wheel sometimes gets most of the oil. His stories are charming. To get the information that is uniquely yours, you must at times be vocal and upfront. Tauck's travel insurance coverage is a good value; their responsiveness to claims is in our experience, very slow.

But it was the attention to little details that really set them apart and made them a memorable company on top of the many wonderful memories of the trip itself. This was a Christmas market cruise and every night there was a perfect gift on my pillow. I am middle aged and don't really like candy but couldn't believe how delighted I felt seeing my shoe FULL of candy on St. Nick's morning.

Tauck is an exceptional company in that it anticipates all concerns and addresses the issues early on. Organization and execution are impeccable. The guidses and tour director were fantastic - some guides better than others, however. Not all guides were equally wonderful but none was sub par. My choice is not to travel with 35+ people in a bus, so these kinds of Tauck trips are not for me. I would not go on another Tauck trip unless it was a small group and was less than 20 people. I heard that some of their small group trips are not terribly large. But I can say with certainty that I will not do a Tauck trip again without that guarantee. I did not feel like we got to see very much of many of the places we visited. Too much time spent in lengthy (too lengthy to my taste) meals and in shepherding people onto the buses. Just not my cup of tea. I would recommend Tauck with reservations.

If I hadn't had the most perfect trip my first time using Tauck for the Classic Italy tour, I might have rated this experience five stars. We went to France for this trip. The tour guide was fabulous, and we loved our trip. But the experience was not quite as special this time. The bus didn't show up to pick up the whole group from the high speed train to France. A couple of tour guides didn't show up for some of the "in town" experiences. Our trip to Monte Carlo, where we were told we could visit the famous casino, occurred when the casino was closed, and we barely had enough time to even walk in the lobby before we had to race back to the bus. The visit to the Louvre was another moment where a guide didn't show up, so the whole group was trying to stay together in enormous crowds. Unsuccessfully. When we went to Rome, we had a private evening tour of the vatican, and I may have been naive in expecting something as special for this. Hope the kinks are gone next time

The sites that we visited were beautiful and the tour guides as well as the Tauck directors were so interesting. I would recommend a Tauck journey to anyone.

While you pay for the privilege, Tauck really provides a first class vacation experience. As before, our tour guide was extremely competent and had to do a lot of juggling because of the weather issues we had. Our hotels were really first class and the tours were fun and educational at the same time. I wish there had been a few more folks from the northeast on the trip, but Tauck is not responsible for when people choose to go.

A Qualified Yes

By: Jdub

Reviewed on: 10 Jun 2023

We chose Tauck because several people we know speak very highly of the quality of their tours as did our Travel Advisor. The Classic Italy trip is worth every penny for the private tours of the Vatican Museum & Sistine Chapel and the Uffizi Gallery, the excellent local guides, some amazing hotels, and managing the logistics (including our luggage) around the various modes of transportation. Compared to a couple of less well-known and not as expensive tour companies we've traveled with, some of the logistics and communications could be improved. Specifically, managing individual dietary restrictions before the wait staff delivers a dish a traveler can't eat, managing hotel rooms for folks with physical issues, and providing electronic evaluation forms (not a paper form on our last day). Our tour director did a great job, but she took a lot of heat for some things that should have been handled better by admin staff elsewhere.

Yellow Roads of Spain

I do not believe we could have had a better tour guide and representative of the spirit of Tauck than our Yellow Roads of Spain tour guide Alicia. She was a stellar combination of being organized and professional, while being personable and engaging. She could tell you cultural tidbits like what it's like to take your driving test in Spain, or give practical advice for what tourists should do to be safe, or explain how olives are harvested from the trees we pass on the roadside all with the skill of a storyteller and local expert. I learned so much from her about the life, culture and language in Spain. Alicia kept us organized, but we also had fun with her. Our destinations were well-chosen, our accomodations and modes of transportation were comfortable, and our activities in the cities were selected to optimize our short time in the places we visited. I traveled as a solo participant, but always felt safe and included by Alicia and our travel companions. It was a great trip.

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.

It was absolutely wonderful!! Our whole family (12 of us) was impressed with the efficiency of Barnaby and Tauck. One suggestion: You might mention not to check out until you are through with your room. We've traveled a lot and never had our key changed at 7:00 AM. We couldn't get back in our room after breakfast to get our carry-on and were delayed by having to find someone to let us in. This was our 6th Tauck tour and if we travel any more it will be with Tauck. Thank You!!! Gloria Bryant

They coordinated and paid for our transportation to the boat and then to the airport at the end of the cruise. They had local contacts and interesting sites to visit that I don't think you could get from any other cruise line. Ah, and the crew. We would have taken them all home with us if we could have!

Your time slot assigned had to do with where you were sitting on the bus. The back of the bus got the leftover slots and leftover hotel restaurants.

Those of us who were doing the whole cruise did not get to bond with the second half of the trip. I would have liked more choices in Paris and London for the sightseeing.

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.

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!!

Wonderful! A dream come true! Their planning, scheduling and hotel sites were amazing! SO much was included, and the special “ surprises” were outstanding! Much research into human behavior and needs were obvious. Individual time given just when needed, etc. my first Tauck tour, but hopenot my last! I was impressed.
