Top Ten Reasons to Travel With Tauck Tours
Top Ten Reasons to Travel With Tauck Tours
Let me share the top ten reasons to travel with Tauck Tours.
When Carol and I started this business ten years ago, we decided to focus primarily on the luxury baby boomer traveler and represent only companies that can consistently provide our clients with a “wow” experience alongside world-class service.
Today, while we are beginning to see younger travelers interested in our travel services (we’re serving predominantly travelers born in the 1940s,1950s, and 1960s) and have four full-time team members to help manage our clients’ bookings, that original commitment is still in place. We will only represent the best of the best, and if a travel brand can’t meet our standards, we don’t recommend and book it for our clients.
Sadly, few of our competitors hold this high standard, which is one of the primary reasons we have become one of the top booking agents with Virtuoso and the number one booking agent for cruises in Virtuoso for the last two years running.
I tell you all this because if you’re unfamiliar with Tauck Tours, you need to be. They are passionate about the quality of their service, they’ve been in business for 100 years, and our clients always come home happy.
Tauck Tours: A Century of Exceptional Travel Experiences
When it comes to luxury travel, few names resonate as strongly as Tauck. For nearly a century, this family-owned company has been setting the gold standard in guided tours, crafting extraordinary journeys that captivate travelers from around the world.
Founded in 1925 by the visionary Arthur Tauck Sr., the company began as a small motor coach tour operator in New England. From these humble beginnings, Tauck has grown into a global leader in guided travel, offering over 150 meticulously planned journeys across all seven continents. This remarkable evolution is a testament to the company’s unwavering commitment to excellence and innovation in the travel industry.
Throughout its history, Tauck has remained true to its founding principle of “doing the right thing.” This ethos has not only shaped the company’s business practices but also led to the establishment of the Tauck Family Foundation in 1994, further solidifying its legacy of giving back to communities worldwide.
As we approach Tauck’s centennial, let’s explore the top 10 reasons why discerning travelers should choose Tauck for their next adventure:
Unparalleled Expertise
Tauck’s tour directors are the crème de la crème of the industry. With an average of 10 years of service, these seasoned professionals hail from 41 countries and collectively speak 52 languages. Their extensive knowledge and passion for travel ensure that you’ll gain deep, authentic insights into local cultures, customs, and traditions at every destination.
Exclusive Access
One of Tauck’s hallmarks is providing unique and privileged access to both hidden gems and popular sights. Often, these experiences occur when the crowds have dissipated, allowing for truly exceptional and intimate encounters. Whether it’s a private after-hours tour of the Sistine Chapel or a special dinner in a historic castle, Tauck opens doors that would otherwise remain closed to ordinary travelers.
All-Inclusive Luxury
Tauck’s all-inclusive pricing model sets it apart from many other tour operators. Nearly everything is included in the upfront price: luxury accommodations, gourmet meals, sightseeing excursions, entertainment, and even gratuities. This comprehensive approach not only eliminates hidden costs but also allows you to relax fully and immerse yourself in the journey without worrying about your wallet.
Intimate Group Sizes
Recognizing that smaller groups lead to more meaningful experiences, Tauck limits its tours to an average of just 24 guests. Some specialized journeys feature even smaller groups of around 15 people. This intimate setting fosters deeper connections with fellow travelers and allows for more personalized attention from tour directors and local guides.
World-Class Accommodations
Tauck carefully selects premium accommodations that reflect the unique character of each destination. From historic hotels in the heart of European cities to luxurious safari lodges in Africa, every property is chosen to enhance your travel experience and ensure comfort throughout your journey.

Whether you’re interested in European river cruises, African safaris, or explorations of the world’s great national parks, Tauck offers a wide range of travel experiences to suit various interests and preferences.
Award-Winning Service
Tauck’s commitment to excellence has not gone unnoticed. The company has been recognized on Travel + Leisure’s prestigious “World’s Best” list for 27 consecutive years, a remarkable achievement that speaks volumes about their dedication to guest satisfaction and exceptional service.
