Tauck Tours was started by a young man with a dream. Seventy-seven years later, and still a family company, Tauck World Discovery continues to inspire the same wonder and awe of personal discovery as it did in 1925. Now, that same sense of discovery and exploration can be experienced worldwide on all seven continents. What will never change is a dedication to providing the most enriching and rewarding travel experiences imaginable.
Discover the "Tauck Difference"
An important benefit of "Tauck Style" is the freedom to relax and travel as an individual because your needs and expectations are anticipated. Our carefully designed and choreographed itineraries are a refreshing mix of sightseeing, leisure, adventure and culture. You'll experience spectacular scenery and exciting events other travelers only dream about. Every detail is handled seamlessly. Imagine... luggage usually in your hotel room before you arrive and preferred seating at shows! Your time is truly your own to enjoy.
When you travel with Tauck, you enjoy some of the best rooms at the world's finest hotels. With Tauck, you may stay in oceanfront rooms at the Royal Hawaii Hotel, lakeview rooms at Chateau Lake Louise, and you'll be on the Grand Canyon rim at Kachina Lodge. Many of our hotels, such as the Raffles Hotel in Singapore, the Grand Hotel in Paris and the Westin Excelsior Hotel in Rome, are rated among the world's finest.
The enjoyment of dining is a delightful and integral part of travel. That's why Tauck selects restaurants that offer a true "taste" of each region you visit. You have the freedom to dine from regular restaurant menus -- whether you're in the mood for a sophisticated Chateaubriand in a hotel's "signature" restaurant or a specialty salad in the café. You even have the freedom to dine anytime and with anyone you wish. You simply sign the check "Tauck World Discovery."
During your travels, you have the advantage of being with a Tauck Tour Director who is fully knowledgeable about the destination, its history and its culture. You can relax knowing that you are accompanied by a professional who manages the flow of events... a problem-solver should one arise... an insider who saves you precious time... and a friend who will help transform your trip into a truly memorable journey.
When you travel with Tauck, you will save up to 40% from the cost of traveling the same itinerary on your own. Virtually every travel expense is included... hotels, meals, cruises, sightseeing, entertainment -- even taxes and gratuities. Guests are delightfully surprised how much is included -- you can practically leave your wallet at home! A Tauck vacation offers you both superb quality and extraordinary value.
Tauck has won many honors from travel professionals, including the "Best Customer Satisfaction" award from the American Automobile Association (AAA) four years in a row and the "Tour Partner of the Year" award in 2000 and 2001 by AAA Travel, Autoclub South. In addition, the American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA) voted Tauck World Discovery "Best Tour Operator" for six years in a row. In 2001, Tauck received "Entrepreneur of the Year for Service" by Ernst & Young and a Luxury Travel Award by Travel Agent magazine.
Perhaps the most important awards, however, come from the traveling public, and we are very proud of the endorsements which discerning travelers continually give us. For example, each year since the inception of the " World's Best Outfitters," the readers of Travel & Leisure magazine have ranked Tauck first or second. In addition, each year more than 55% of our business is comprised of repeat customers, and another 30% comes from referrals made by previous Tauck travelers.
