Tauck

I have an aunt who has never been to Europe.  

Ever since I was a small child, she was always one of my absolute favorite family members.  She worked very, very hard her whole life.   I come from a family of hard workers and my aunt is a prime example, she worked so hard, she didn’t get to travel too much.  Her beloved husband passed away several years ago and she wanted to go Italy, she dreamt of it her whole life, she didn’t want to go alone.  

I thought about that a lot.  She’s never flown overseas, so I didn’t want to make a very long trip.  She’s quite physically capable, but a small person, and I didn’t want her to lug her baggage from spot to spot. Also, being that this will likely be her only time in Italy.  I wanted it to be AMAZING, I wanted her socks knocked off.  She also asked me and my family to go!  The more I thought about it, there  was one clear best answer.

Tauck.  Or Specifically, a Tauck Family Bridges trip.  It’s a trip designed for three generations, Grandparents, Parents and Kids.  My mom also decided to come.  Believe me, in Europe, a family of five isn’t the easiest thing to book, a trip designed from the ground up was just perfect.  The fact that 2025 is their 100th anniversary and they are having some great deals, didn’t hurt. 

Tauck is one of the best, the awards speak for themselves.  I’ve never had somebody have a bad Tauck Trip.  Whether it’s river cruising, safari or overland, like we are doing.  It’s always amazing.  They are functionally excellent, they pick nice places and do all the best stuff, but they always stand out. 

However, that’s not what really makes Tauck stand out.  It’s the stuff they can’t really tell you about ahead of time.

For example take this little video:  It flashes by the Ferragamo Museum in Florence, lots of people do that, Tauck has it with the member of the Ferragamo family. The concert?  That isn’t in a music hall, it’s in a legit Tuscan estate.  You may have had Lungarotti Wine, but some folks on a Tauck trip got to taste the wine, and learn about it, from Chiara Lungarotti herself.  Ever walk into an empty Sistine Chapel?  Not many people have, but not a few Tauck travelers who have traveled to Rome have heard the echo off of Michelangelo’s famous frescos.   Tauck can’t advertise these things, because they vary tour to tour, day to day, but there are always special touches and that is truly one thing that raises them up.

Want to Travel with a history expert?  What about Ken Burns?   Like Trains? Pick a continent. Love the Tournament of Roses?  Get up close and personal  Safaris, Fall Foliage, National Parks, Small Ship cruising partnered with several of the best small cruise lines in the world and of course their own heavily awarded river cruise line.  The Biggest reason I don’t advocate those to my clients is because of how far in advance those cruises sell out!  Which is also true for their Small Group Journeys.

I’m taking my mom, my aunt, my wife and my daughter.  I wanted a trip to Italy to be as perfect as possible, so… Tauck it was.
