Tauck National Park Tour

By: Janet


Reviewed on: 27 Sep 2019

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.

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.

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.

Tauck always makes things special and our Scotland tour was another great experience! Everything is included and we love the fact that drinks are endless with dinners sponsored with them. We also like that they don't shift hotels every day as we only had 3 hotels on an 8-day tour. Edinburgh is one of our favorite places and we loved the Balmoral Hotel where we were put up. Our travel agent arranged for extra nights there as well as in Bergen before our cruise. What a great trip!

This particular Tauck trip depended on the Tour Director and Bus Driver as to whether it would be a success. Our particular one had outstanding individuals in both cases. If the tour director had not been as knowledgeable, the trip might not have been a thumbs up. That being said, we were traveling with friends ( and consistently added the single person to our table so she would have companions), which made the trip again a positive. Was it the best trip we have ever taken...perhaps not so much as we have been fortunate to be widely traveled. The highlights were the Director, Bus driver who deserves kudos, as well as the local presentations at the various locations. The negatives might be the long bus rides without internet. Although the scenery was lovely, how many trees and small towns can be seen without losing interest? Having been forewarned about the quality of the hotels, we didn't expect the Ritz...but neither do you expect 'not pristine'. Glad we did it but not again.

I would use Tauck again if the locations and agenda were interesting and not a rehash of places we've already been. I would recommend that on this trip there should be consideration for the age of the attendees and their interests in certain locations. We would have rather spent additional time at the D-Day sites instead of being pushed to meet a particular time table. I would suggest a box lunch and more time at these sites, especially for people in there seventies and eighties who may have an intimate history with the D-Day locations.

We very much enjoyed our trip. We expected a lot of Tauck and they delivered. The tour started at the Intercontinental Le Grand in Paris. What a beautiful hotel! Our balcony overlooked the opera house. The river part of the trip was very well organized. We got to see several small towns in France; I saw southern France for the first time. Local guides were knowledgeable and all spoke understandable English. The bus drivers were excellent. The food onboard was very good. Two meals off the ship were spectacular. We met about half the people on the tour. We enjoyed being with them. The last two nights were in Monaco at the Fairmont. It’s not an attractive hotel, but the service was good. Heavy construction is being done nearby. That’s what you see as you look seaward. Of course that is temporary. We asked the Tauck people why we didn’t wind up the tour in Nice. The answer was that with such a large group, finding a suitable hotel there was not possible. There were 86 people on the tour

We have used Tauck in the past and have been pleased with their tours. They cost more, but when you consider the end product, they offer a good value equation.

A Little Different Tauck Trip

Reviewed on: 23 Dec 2019

This was my seventh trip overseas with Tauck. My wife and I usually opt for the small group trips, so sailing on a ship with 200+ fellow travelers was a new experience. The boats are operated by a different company, so it's sometimes a little difficult to be certain where Tauck ends and the ship operator begins. The entire trip was well managed including the part aboard ship. It's what we have come to expect from Tauck. That said, I'm afraid we didn't enjoy this one as much as others we have done in the past. The Dalmatian Coast is no longer an "undiscovered" destination, especially since "Game of Thrones". These port towns are interesting but small with limited resources. Usually there are only one or two things of interest to travelers at each stop. If you are accustomed to France or even Italy, get ready to down shift.

I wouldn't recommend this tour to others. I actually thought Tauck added nothing to the tour. If I did the trip again, I'd book directly through Ponant. Once on the ship, the benefits of being a Tauck guests were few. The expedition guides, etc were all Ponant employs. There was also way too much time in Argentina.

Not our best trip with them. Did not like the Ponant ship Le Laparouse. The food was not that great and the service was really poor. The fitness room only had about 5 machines and nothing else. There basically was one lecture a day so there was not much to do when you had 3 days at sea. The excursions were nice and almost all the guides were very good. We had 3 young tour directors that were lovely but not as experienced and communication could have been a lot better. Many of the other loyal Tauck travelers made similar comments along the journey.

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 are not for the budget minded.

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.

Our Spotlight on New Zealand trip with Tauck was our first international or guided tour.

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.

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.

There were several things about this trip that made it special and those included the float plane ride, overnight on a train, an excursion on a glacier, and a float trip. These were things we probably would not have done on our own. WE had a wonderful time with a great company.

Great food and wine. But, most importantly, the care and consideration shown for and to their guests was superior.

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.

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.

The Best of Hawaii

Reviewed on: 25 Sep 2021

Any comments must be considered in light of the difficulty of travel anywhere during the time of COVID. Half of our group had canceled because the Governor of Hawaii asked travelers not to come because of the increase in COVID cases in the state. The resulting smaller group made movement throughout the tour easier. Tauck had managed through their policies to create a “bubble” so that travelers felt safe throughout the tour when with the group. (All had to be vaccinated and comply with Hawaii’s Health Safety protocols.) Unfortunately because of COVID, some parts of the itinerary had to be changed, and some of those parts were activities which drew me to the tour in the first place. However, it was clear that safety was paramount and that was the best route for a professional organization like Tauck. The tour director was outstanding, and he provided guidance as it was needed. I was terribly disappointed with the closing luau, as it was cut back to the point of not resembling a luau.

I saw how hard she was working behind the scenes every minute, but the experience for our group was seamless and easy. • One of the best features of traveling with Tauck is everyone seems to acknowledge that you're with a first-rate group.

We were lucky to have a great band of traveling companions from all over the country that were all good people. No jerks on tour! The food was overall good but I think they provide too much quantity and not enough quality. The exception was the Rocky Mountaineer train itself where the food and service quality were excellent. Sometimes lunch is right on top of breakfast so more spacing is required. The tour director was quite knowledgeable about the area and was full of great information. When traveling through the countryside it would be good to take a break from the constant commentary and let silence play a role as we enjoy the natural beauty in peace.

This is tough time to travel, especially to the ends of the earth. As usual, Tauck did a great job. I've come to expect professional Tauck tour directors, but the team outdid themselves in reacting to problems along the way. They couldn't do anything about the weather in the Drake Passage but were largely responsible for a wonderful travel experience, with thrilling excursions and interesting presentations.

We have been on 2 Tauck tours. First one was to National Parks. We could have done this tour on our own however the hotels we stayed at were exceptional. Our second tour was to Machu Pichu and the Galapagos. This was exceptional and Tauck handled it all including 6 flights, numerous exceptional hotels, fantastic tour guides, wonderful naturalists. And our fellow tourists were great as well. I highly recommend Tauck

The tour was my first trip with Tauck. It was a well managed trip from the time I arrived at the airport in Tel Aviv until I returned to Amman for my trip home. My fellow travelers and I enjoyed great guides in every location along with top accommodations and venues. Free time slots in each city allowed each of us to enjoy personal pursuits as well as up the activity scale in places like Petra based on our interests. Covid protocols did not slow us down. The only real challenge was the ever changing weather, but then who can control that?

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.

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.

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.

Deeply disappointed that this trip's enjoyment was limited due to my contracting norovirus with symptoms day 6, requiring a visit to a Clinic in Saigon and hospital visit day 11, which confirmed norovirus. Three of us experienced similar symptoms and onset time after the visit to the preschool on day 5, although my case was severe. Noted from the Mayo Clinic Website, the second risk factor for contracting norovirus after food and water contamination was attending a preschool or a childcare center. We believe it is in the best interest of future Tauck trips that environments such as the preschool be avoided at all costs. I have shared this with Larry, our Tour Director and in my review to Tauck. We missed a full day in Saigon, a full day in Siem Reap, and 1/2 day in Chiang Mai. Fortunately, Larry made arrangements for a private tour of Angkor Wat and a tour of the Elephant Sanctuary so we didn't miss two highlights of the entire trip.

Adding to that temple tours require long pant for men and dresses to the ankle for women and shoulders to be covered. The distinction between north Vietnam and South Vietnam is still very clear. Cities like Hue, Da Nang and Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) are clearly more Democratic leaning although they are under Communism. People in the south just think differently. Cambodia is a very very poor country. It can be seen as a yet developing country. The focus is tourism which has declined since Covid to the point of near poverty.

Tauck has always planned great trips. This was no different, especially with the problems we had with the Duero River. The crew had to readjust stops and tours, because the river had some dangerous currents and we couldn't change locations or get through some locks. The team did a great job arranging alternate tours and experiences. The one drawback was the cabin on the MS Andorinha, the size was fine, but it was hard to use the close cabinets while someone was using the bath. The doors would hit the person trying to get close or the person coming out of the bath.

Tauck always exceeds expectations, but this river cruise was the pinnacle! Everyone from housekeeping staff to tour directors to local tour guides were phenomenal!

Best tour yet

We really enjoyed the Bellissima Italy tour. This was my fourth Tauck tour. In general, I think Tauck Does a good job if it is a planned tour that you are seeking. They do handle all of the details of the trip, and there are many nice additions that one would have difficulty planning on their own. You do need to follow the agenda that is planned by the tour company but you do also have plenty of free time on your own. Most of the tour guides and local guides are generally good. My biggest complaint is with the food. The quality of some of the meals and the lack of choice at some of the meals was disappointing. I would say the food was poor on our France tour, which was a big disappointment since the food in France is a major attraction of that location. The food on our Italy tour was better, but at times the selections were limited, and the quality was marginal. A High Point was definitely the hotels which were all outstanding. The location and service of all of the hotels was 5 star

Tulip Riverboat

This was my first riverboat experience. I found the boat comfortable and spotlessly clean. Could not have asked a better crew. They obviously wanted every passenger to be totally satisfied. The Hotel Director, Ziggy’s and the restaurant director Borshce did everything they could to please. I will say that I thought the food was good but not exceptional. Personally I thought they could have been more imaginative as far as local dishes. But the food was like I said good. The crew director Juerl and staff were phenomenal and the use of local guides was brilliant. They did not rush you and the groups were small so that everyone felt included.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Eighth Tauck Tour

The eighth and best Tauck tour. The timing was great, the itinerary was excellent and the Tour Director, Deanna, was wonderful. She knew the territory and gave us scads of good information. She was great at getting us through airports and checked into our lodgings. I am sure she is underpaid by Tauck. Tauck picked outstanding lodging for us. The jungle lodges were fantastic. My only complaint, which is not Tauck's fault is that we had to fly 19 hours to get to South Africa!!

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.

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.

During our trip, we met many people that were still staying on their river boats, because their cruise line refused to cancel the trip.

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.

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.

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.

This was our 3rd Tauck. A wonderful trip with a fabulous Director. Tauck always seems to take us places that we never knew existed, and yet they are always outstanding. This is a great overview of the Hudson Valley. The Mohonk Mountain House was great hotel. A superb setting, lots of things to do and no TV. A way to get away from it all. Mirror Lake Inn at Lake Placid is a close second. The tour of the 9/11 memorial by a NYPD Detective was outstanding.

Tauck and Ponant

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.

Absolutely the best

By: LH


Reviewed on: 08 Oct 2018

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.

The tour director sets the tone…

By: Pamela


Reviewed on: 15 May 2022

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.

Expensive Tour Led My Immature Host

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.

The initial pickup at the airport was minimal at best. The hotel rooms were outstanding. The meal sign up was very frustrating-too difficult to sign up with others . The meal scheduling at Jasper (and other venues) reflects a disregard for the day's activities and the unfortunate waits for clean rooms and luggage. A scheduled lecture did not occur due to poor manners of the chosen expert. We needed more information about the evening on the train. Suggest in future consider Rockie Mountaineer.

We have traveled with Tauck many times before and have expected only the best. We realize Covid has done a number on hotels and restaurants, so were not expecting the same level of excellence as before. 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.

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.

We have recently completed our 6th journey within the past 4 years with Tauck.

Four of our journeys have been river cruises and they are fabulous! Every aspect from the Tauck staff, local guides, food and beverage on ship is unmatched. The special events that are planned by Tauck are spectacular. We also love the fact that we are travelling with "like minded travelers".

Classic Italy

By: Wishes


Reviewed on: 15 Nov 2023

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.

We have traveled with Tauck on 9-10 trips and have outstanding experiences with them except 1 time with an inexperienced travel director. All of the other times have been GREAT...as was this trip to Alaska. Ernst was our tour director and he was excellent. We also had the best group of 37 travelers of all time. 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.

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!

Difficulties with Tauck

By: Mary


Reviewed on: 04 Feb 2024

On the first day of my trip one woman arrived and was clearly very ill. She was coughing and sneezing continuously. We were confined to a motor coach so could not social distance. As the week went on she could barely manage to get on and off the bus. By the end of the tour over three fourths of the group were beginning to show symptoms. After I got home I began to receive texts that the majority of the group had contracted Covid. I got tested and was positive. Why was nothing done to handle this situation? Most of the group were over the age of sixty and at high risk for complications.

Solo African Safari

By: Kiera


Reviewed on: 13 Feb 2024

I was blown away with how safe I felt as a solo traveler. Extra measures were in place to verify my safety and security which I appreciated. Including a call from Tauck when i arrived to make sure i found my driver. Immediately followed by a call to my driver to make sure i was with the correct person and in the right vehicle. I didn't even think of that! The tour exceeded my expectations in lodging, food, and activities. I was spoiled and really able to relax as everything was thought of and planned in advance. Not once was I worried about anything. All activities and schedules were explained in detail at the start and end of each day. The itinerary was the perfect mix of down time and activities. As a young woman I was not bored and never felt "held back". My tour guide was well educated in the ways of the land, language, and answered a million questions. She was also so kind! I would 100% recommend Tauck and look forward to traveling with them again soon!

Australia/New Zealand, the Best of My Four Trips With Tauck

By: Rita


Reviewed on: 13 Feb 2024

I have taken four trips with Tauck and I consider this one to have been the best. With the help of my travel agent, John Bowerman, I planned two weeks in Australia on our own and then met our Tauck tour in Melbourne. Our guide, Michael Fuurilo, was outstanding. He had an amazing knowledge of the people, culture, history, and geography of both countries. As a long-time educator, I appreciated learning so much about the area I was visiting. Our accommodations and transportation were wonderful. It was such a pleasure to have all the details taken care of, freeing the participants from all the normal stress of logistics. I highly recommend this tour and Michael as a tour director.

Thus far, we have joined 16 Tauck land tours, river cruises and small ship cruises, and we are anxiously anticipating our 17th in the coming months. The accommodations are always excellent and often spectacular (e.g. Copacabana Palace in Rio de Janeiro and Four Seasons Resort in Chiang Mai), meals are memorable, tour directors are experienced, conscientious and personable, and itineraries include experiences that are not readily available to other travelers. 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 now make destination decisions only after reading, and based on, Tauck's catalogs.

Tauck River Cruise

By: Classy Lady


Reviewed on: 02 May 2025

It was only so-so. We liked 2 of the 3 hotels quite a bit -- the ones in Munich and Budapest. And we loved Garmisch, although our hotel was too far out of town. We enjoyed all 3 of those cities, and particularly liked having more free time during those 5 days. We did not enjoy the cruise all that much, although it's hard to put our finger on why. The food was good, and we particularly liked the Tour Directors, all of whom started with us in Munich. We didn't particularly like the Cruise Director. She didn't seem overly friendly and was rather regimented in her approach. We liked one excursion -- the Salzkammergut. The rest, not so much. The beauty of most of them was that we could simply leave the group and do our own thing, and still get back to the ship. We probably will not do Tauck again. This was our second trip with them, and we weren't crazy about either one of them!

Tauck Holland and Belgium River Cruise

Reviewed on: 06 May 2025

This was our seventh Tauck trip and, as ever, it did not disappoint. Our precruise stay at Hotel Amigo was perfect as it is located near shopping and dining. Our cabin (Cat 7) on Ms. Grace was spacious and well appointed. Service was exemplary and dining offered variety and quality. The excursions were varied and some fun and unique. We have been to Amsterdam several times, so we did the Dutch countryside excursion. It was both enlightening and fun. The day at Keukenhof Gardens was glorious—once in a lifetime experience. I recommend going the third week of April. You may get rained on but you won’t even notice because the tulips are so lovely. The passengers were mostly Americans over 60 but they were a fun-loving, lively group who were full of energy. We went early and took a private tour to Bastogne to see the museum, battlefields, and memorial. It was an awesome day and so easy to plan from Brussels. You can also see Waterloo along the way.

The Tauck tour of Portugal could not have been nicer. The experience was wonderful. Then I went on to Barcelona to start my tour of Spain. Little did I know that the second day schedule had breakfast at 4:45 AM and bus boarding at 5:20am. When I looked around the bus at 5:20, every single traveler was miserable and sleep deprived. Tauck knew in November that the regular later flight was cancelled by the airline, but gave no notice that they had decided to use the flight at 6:50am, pushing everyone to be up by 4:00 AM. I will never use Tauck again and cancelled the next tour I had booked. I am an early riser, but I never signed up for boot camp.

I think Tauck lived up to its reputation for providing well-planned and enjoyable tours. Comfortable and interesting hotels in excellent locations and responsive staff.

Special additions like a private flamenco performance and entertainment provided by a “La Tuna” group for the farewell dinner was most appreciated. Excellent management of luggage transport made the frequent moves less onerous. Fantastic tour director who kept things not just moving but moving smoothly is a critically important element. The too frequent and probably unnecessary reminder to tip diminished the overall excellent experience.

Great. We had taken couple of domestic trips with them. Very organized company. Our guide, Lionel Nadon was very knowledgeable, helpful and professional. Places we visited were amazing and truly a treat. Hotels and breakfasts were all very nice. Dinners were hit or miss. Not enough options for me who doesn’t eat pork and not a big fan of fish. However, I had to settle for fish or request vegetarian. All in all, we enjoyed our time and got to meet some great and interesting people.

This was our first trip with Tauck. We ended up having two separate Tauck trips together since we were already in Europe and loved every minute. From the moment we landed in Lisbon to the time we left the second trip from Paris - Tauck took care of our every need. Their tour guides and tour directors are excellent and they really added to our whole experience. It is hard to believe that they do the same trips with different people because they are enthusiastic as if they are seeing and experiencing the trip for the first time. I highly recommend Tauck and hope so join other tours in the years to come.

I cannot say enough good things about Tauck. This is my second Tauck tour, and I would not look at anyone else when I go to pick my third. The room on the boat was very spacious and comfortable, and the food was excellent. Tauck lined up lots of special on board presentations and music performances, and their local guides are excellent. I injured myself and was unable to go on most of the tours after the injury, but they loaned me a walking stick to get around, and helped me when I did go on a trip. At one point they arranged a cab for me to return to the boat mid tour - no charge to me. Tauck takes care of their people. Fantastic company to work with.

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.

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. The reality was, the dining rooms were almost empty most of the time. We finally learned to go where we wanted to when we wanted to. Tauck was big bucks for loads of mediocre food, mediocre entertainment and a mediocre guide.

Fabulous trip through the heel of Italy

By: Maddy


Reviewed on: 16 Oct 2016

Our trip to Puglia was everything we could have hoped for. It's a beautiful region of Italy and we enjoyed the countryside and small villages. We stayed at wonderful properties and had amazing meals, as one would expect on a Tauck trip. Each day offered very special experiences, and our small group of 23 was so compatible we enjoyed every moment with them. But what really made the trip special was our host, Anna. She is totally awesome. She was warm, knowledgeable, and anticipated our every need. Her ability to adjust to any situation is remarkable. Tauck should be very proud to have her on their team. Thanks, Anna, for a fabulous trip!!!

I was disappointed as I pointed out on my comment sheet at the end of the Belle Epoch tour that we had not been with the same poeple from London through to Monte Carlo. Having 2 different river cruises with 2 different groups did not lend well to what Tauck strives for with a family atmosphere with people making life long friends as is tauted. 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. The crews were very different as well as is to be expected but that also helped to make the trip feel disjointed.

Tauck Tour Budapest to Amsterdam

By: Smittyken


Reviewed on: 14 Nov 2016

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 not a full ship so the normal great service was even more personable. 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.

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.

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.

This was a wonderful trip to a fascinating country. I’m not sure it would be for everyone, and in ways it was a hard trip, but I wouldn’t give anything for having been there. This was my 11th trip with Tauck and they always do an outstanding job. Some of the most beautiful hotels I’ve ever stayed in. This is a trip of extremes, as the poverty levels were so much worse than I had been prepared for. The Taj Mahal, seeing Varanasi, and the the slums of Dharavi will stay with me forever.

I just finished my fourth tour with Tauck. They are incredibly well organized and their tours hit all of the high spots. They handle absolutely everything from the time you step off your inbound flight to when you get in line for the return flight. Their tour guides are extremely knowledgeable. The accomodations and meals are great. This was the first tour where someone became very ill to the point of needing a surgical procedure.

This was our second Tauck trip and our first internationally with the company. It's hard for my husband and I to imagine traveling with anyone else after experiencing the outstanding service that Tauck provides. The tour director was amazing handling every detail smoothly and efficiently (and mostly behind the scenes so there were never any worries for us). Our local guides provided insight and education in every location. And we love the all-inclusiveness of the pricing; there are no hidden expenses. The fact that many of our fellow travelers were on their 10th or even 15th Tauck trip is a testament to the high standards this company offers around the world.

With the exception of the hotel in Amsterdam, we really enjoyed our Tauck trip. The daily itinerary was interesting, well planned, and some very nice extras were added when passengers suggested interest. For example, a trip to the flower auction at Royal Holland. The Amsterdam hotel, W, was way too "hip"' for us and genuinely uncomfortable. The over 50 set is not likely to enjoy a stay there. I would recommend that Tauck accommodate their travelers in a hotel that is more like the Amigo in Brussels.

Exceptional in every way. From the moment we arrived at the destination city Tauck took over and everything is included in the price. It is well known that Tauck is more expensive than many of the river cruise lines reportedly because it is worth it. We have no experience with the other lines but most of the passengers with whom we interacted echo that sentiment. The number of multiple repeat Tauckers was jaw dropping. The ship was awesome, the excursions creative and informative, the tour directors knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and fun. It will be hard for us to experiment with other companies in the future.

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.

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.

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.

Exploring the Douro, Lisbon, Madrid

By: Lynne & Bob


Reviewed on: 08 May 2023

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.

Michael Soncina was a very good tour operator for Tauck. He took a sincere interest in all of our special needs, especially the unique diets that some of the guests, including us had requested. He was always available and went out of his way to make sure every request was addressed. Very impressive and not easy at all! You would be very fortunate to have him as your tour guide. 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. They should have given us more time in the Hiroshima Museum which was superb.However, this critique had absolutely nothing to do with Michael.

The tour directors are top notch! They make traveling a pleasure. No rushing. Small groups. (Our Italy group had only 14 people!) And Tauck has many "special privileges" meaning there are places that only Tauck, and no other tour operators, are allowed to go. (I remember a beautiful old library in Prague where other tours were peeking through a half-doorway to see inside. When I asked our tour director why they didn't just come on in, he said, "Tauck has special access that no other tour operators do.") I think that says it all.

Tauck is, by far, the best travel company that we have experienced in our travels through the years. They are certainly NOT the average tour company...the accommodations, the excursions, the ships (River Cruises), the cuisine, and most of all, the Tauck Directors and Tauck guides are superior. Their sincere attention to ensure that every detail is above and beyond their guest's expectation is met. If there happens to be a "glitch" in a travel plan, it is handled seamlessly. They also listen to the guests...a rare commodity in this day and time. There are many competitors in the marketplace these days for certain, but Tauck stands far and above most of those in the industry today. We typically travel twice during the year with Tauck and always look forward to our next adventure. They continue to amaze and delight us each and every time. They are truly the VERY BEST!!

Our cruise tour of Japan with Tauck was disappointing. Local experts had a minimal command of English for the most part. Daily excursions were arduous because of extended periods on buses and inability to understand guides when briefing us on sights we'd be visiting. Our cabin on LeSoleal (part of Ponant) had HVAC issues, a towel that was nor clean being placed in the bathroom as though it was clean, a leak in the toilet area of our cabin, and average to bad meals. When you can smell the fish entrees on the buffet from 15 feet away, that's not good. Experienced Tauck Travelers complained constantly about food, services, guides etc, but encouraged us not to judge Tauck based on this tour. So much time was spent on buses that time at sights were shortened. For example at the Museum of Japan in Tokyo we had only 45 minutes! The hotels we stayed at in Osaka and Tokyo were wonderful.

I love Tauck and will continue to travel with them! Our Tauck leader was absolutely delightful and so helpful. Her name was Rachel Peer. 10 Stars for her! We loved the itinerary and felt we got to see so many important places in both London and in Paris. I can't say enough about the fabulous tour guides we had in both London (Trudy-she was magnificent) and our young tour guide in Paris (Matteo-so knowledgeable). Hats off to Tauck for finding them! We were disappointed that my children and grandchildren did not have connecting rooms so that the parents could sleep in one room and the children in the other. While they were on the same floor, they had to put one adult in each room with one child which just wasn't what we had planned or hoped for. I know they said they "could not guarantee" connecting rooms but it was a "family trip" and this was extremely disappointing.

High Expectations for this river cruise

By: Barnum


Reviewed on: 19 Sep 2024

I was very excited for my first Tauck trip given how they tell their story and promise a premium experience (admittedly, at a noticeable premium cost over their competition). My expectation was of a curated and guest focused experience. While I understand that they can't control river levels, their lack of communication and seeming active efforts to avoid discussing ways to improve the experience with their guests is at odds with their promises. The Tauck reps on the boat were great, but they didn't seem to have much backing from the Tauck "river team" which made them frustrated and unable to get creative and offer anything to deliver the Tauck promise of "We manage the unexpected – big and small – so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy.

In Venice, we were supposed to tour St Mark's Basilica, but instead we toured Doge's Palace. No explanation was given for the change. Despite these issues I would book again with Tauck.

This was a very good trip for me to take my granddaughter to see two of Europe’s great cities! The London part of the itinerary did a great overview of the London sights. I felt our itinerary in Paris was a little weak, and it didn’t help that our night cruise of the Seine was canceled and there was no substitute for a night view of the Eiffel Tower. There was no attempt to show us Notre-Dame Dame. Thankfully I had extended another day & accomplished that myself. Our Tour Director had not done this particular tour previously and I think it affected the tour some. She was extremely pleasant & fun and handled the London part of the tour great, but was a little weak in Paris. I did mention in my Tauck review that perhaps this tour needs another day to do a better overview of Paris. Overall it was a good trip and I will definitely book again with Tauck!

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.

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.

Tauck was such a quality organization. We felt that we got our monies worth and then some. Our tour director was superb. She was always available and seemed to keep track of us all, which is probably rather difficult. Her name was Debbie. There was one extra stop that we did in Florence that touched our hearts deeply. We stopped at the WW II memorial on our way to Tuscany. Everything else was just awesome. Tauck has a great tour director in Debbie. We would definitely do another tour with Tauck.

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.

Not What I Expected

By: Rick

For the cost of this trip, I expected a unique, one-of-kind Hawaiian experience. Instead, we stayed in four incredibly expensive hotels that were destination locations. We didn't really want a ritzy hotel experience, wanted to experience Hawai'i. There were so many missed opportunities to learn about island history, music, art and culture. Tour director was too "hands off". During the tour, we had three "free days" without much guidance. Had to use hotel concierge services frequently to learn of local events. Pace of tour was too slow and disconnected.

Tauck came to us highly recommended and they did not disappoint. 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. Special kudos to tour director Michael (he was extra attentive and helpful), Stephan (great entertainer). Would we recommend? Yes, yes, yes

As usual, Tauck tour personnel were great. The Iceland itinerary was fascinating and well planned. The onboard lectures were wonderful. The partnership they have with the cruise line, Ponant needs to be rethought. 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.

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.

This was our fifth trip with Tauck and were very happy with the pace of the trip and choice of cities. The choice of hotels was excellent and the tour guide and driver were superior. I chose this tour because they offered a visit to the Mercedes Museum and notified us a few days before departure that that day was now impossible because of a retirement party for a high executive. They did offer the Porsche Museum instead. It was too late to cancel nor did they offer an alternate date because of our flight reservations. It might be hard for non car lovers to understand this change but it was my reason for booking this particular trip.

Tauck may not have anything to do with the weather or the scenery, but everything to do with the shipboard experience. This was our second trip with Tauck and we wouldn't hesitate to book with them again. The cabin was small but bigger than most on river ships -- it was large enough for our purposes. 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.

Hotel selection was outstanding with particular appreciation for the Fairmont Peace Shanghai hotel and the Banyan resort. There was no awkward moments considering how few western visitors were present at many of the locations.

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.

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

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

By: Kim Lewis


Reviewed on: 31 May 2023

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.

Good restaurants, sights to see and how to get there were easy with her help. We had a couple of schedule changes due to unforeseen circumstances and Nicole had made all the rearrangement of the schedule, buses and tour guides were waiting. Every local tour guide must have been carefully selected for their knowledge of the site we were seeing. The most memorable were the private, after hours showing of art museums and the Vatican's Sistine Chapel. We had plenty of time to savor the beauty of these highlights.

Missing the Tauck touch in Scandinavia

This was my 7th Tauck trip, so obviously have been a fan of Tauck. The Scandinavia itinerary was outstanding and I was so glad I didn't choose a cruise. The tour guides were knowledgeable and charming. I thought the accommodations were lovely and there was no lack of good food. My family had a great trip, but Tauck is very pricey, particularly for a single traveler. On past trips, Tauck would add in little extra surprises and tiny gifts that made them stand out as special. They also were great about including EVERYTHING, no nickel and diming. This trip didn't include wine with most meals so we had to try to remember to pay for extras when checking out (annoying) and if they hadn't added on a visit to a farm the last day (which was wonderful) this would have felt like any nice tour company, that would have also been great but less expensive. My next 2 trips aren't Tauck but I've had enough other good experiences with them, I still will check out their catalog.

We enjoyed everything about the tour except the Jasper portion as we were part of a mandatory evacuation shortly after we arrived. The first night at Kananaskis was excellent. Went to a dude ranch for dinner that evening. At the Chateau Lake Louise we had an excellent room which overlooked the lake and the food and walking tour around the lake was excellent. Shortly after arriving in Jasper, we were evacuated and had to leave our luggage so the rest of the trip meant same clothes which was unfortunate. However, Tauck made sure we were safe and evacuated us to Sun Peak Resort in British Columbia. It took us eleven hours to get there and after a restful day and night, all day to get back to Banff for the rest of the trip. It wasn’t the trip we wanted but Tauck took care to give us excellent accommodations, good food and kept us safe throughout. Our Tour Director and bus driver went beyond to make sure we were looked after and safe.

This Danube river cruise was 8 straight days of living in the lap of luxury. Our 300-foot stateroom was beautifully designed, totally comfortable, and every need we had was fulfilled quickly and with the nicest possible interaction. The Tauck staff was 100% perfect. The tour turned out to be a bit more difficult for us. Some of the “climbing” required in the villages was difficult for about 10% of the passengers. And the upper-90s heat was tough. However, about 20% of the passengers took advantage of biking and strenuous climbing, so one should be aware of the activities offered for younger folks. Food was terrific, and the wine and spirits were unlimited.

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 .

Once again I had a great experience with Tauck. From the time the Limo picked us up at the airport to being dropped off at the end it was a wonderful trip. Love the trip to Churchill Downs & the Kentucky Horse Park. The drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway & the trip through the Great Smoky Mtns, provided some beautiful scenery. The Shaker Village & the Hermitage are both well worth the time. Great hotels & restaurants as usual. Had a wonderful time at the Grand Ole Opry also.

Disappointment

Reviewed on: 17 Sep 2017

The national parks and monuments were very special. The trip outside of the parks was sub standard. Days were spent with what my husband and I considered "filler". More days should have been spent in Yellowstone. Cody, Wyoming Holiday in was in terrible condition. The restaurant for dinner was below our standard for decent dining. The lunch at the T-A ranch was almost non edible. The food must have been sitting out for a long time to be that dried out. When we arrived we paid extra to be picked up at the airport. No one from the company had our name and it took many phone calls to get that straightened out.

Tauck is an excellent company. I was on a European river cruise with the company. EVERYTHING is included on a river cruise and even if the tour is going to be in a town for the day instead of returning to the ship, we were given money to purchase lunch on our own! 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. Food was excellent with good options and you can order whatever you want or mix and match food items.

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.

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.

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.

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!

We have traveled with a number of tour operators that might be considered by others to be comparable to Tauck, and while some provide satisfactory traveling experiences, we regard Tauck as a step above the rest in providing access to local famillies, private tours of otherwise crowded attractions and inclusion of off-the-beaten-path venues that we would not have been aware of but for Tauck, all of which we have enjoyed immensely. 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. Eating, and exclaiming over the food with other Tauck guests, immeasurably enhanced what Portugal and Spain had to offer.

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.

TAUCK IS NOT AS GOOD AS IN THE PAST

By: Lois


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.

The itenerary was thorough- we saw everything- and the pace was definitely brisk- necessary to see and experience everything we did/ but physically challenging given the travel distance and interior road conditions- not controlled by Tauck/ but important to factor in.

Tauck - A Week in Scotland

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.

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.

We'd travel with Tauck again for three reasons: small group tours with discreet earpiece transmitters linked to local guides; the quality and communication skills of the local guides; and masterful logistics with fast paced travel involving air, coach, and high speed trains while we only left our packed luggage to be picked up in our hotel room each night.
