Tauck —  

Tauck specializes in a wide variety of all inclusive group tours – promising one up-front price with virtually everything included – no hidden costs, no surprises and no options sold on tour. A family-owned company started in 1925 by American Arthur Tauck, Tauck is one of the oldest and most innovative group tour operators.

Tauck offers everything from river cruises to rail excursions, African safaris and Antarctica expeditions, family travel, trips to the great North American National Parks, Food & Wine tours, Fall Foliage tours and Nature tours, as well as trips created with award-winning filmmaker Ken Burns.

They also offer Earth Journeys, created by Tauck and BBC Earth, and an exciting array of “classic” journeys and “best sellers.”  Tauck also offers Small Group journeys with an average of 24 guests, for a more intimate travel experience.

Their Culturious journeys (small group trips with only 20 guests) include hikes, bike rides, horseback rides, rafting trips, snowshoeing treks, as well as art lectures, artisan workshops, insider talks, and historic walks and more.

Tauck’s award-winning River Cruises are designed around included shore excursions that immerse you in each destination through exclusive access to cultural experiences. Their river cruises explore the heart of Europe:  along entire length of the Danube from the North Sea to the Black Sea; the Rhine, Main and Moselle rivers in Germany; the Maas in the Netherlands; the Albert and Main-Danube canals; and the Rhône, Saône and Seine rivers in France.

Tauck’s small ship cruises focus on the destination, combining Tauck’s signature land sightseeing with personalized small ship cruising in scenic ports of call that connect you with people and places, with enriching experiences onboard and ashore. They dock in pristine bays, off island beaches and at smaller docks in small towns and villages, and some of the world’s favorite cities. All of their on-shore excursions are included, often accompanied by local experts who enrich with in-depth cultural exploration and insider access to daily life. Their small ship fleet includes elegant yachts and expedition ships.
