Majestic California: Pacific, Redwoods & Yosemite

“Every year my grandparents and I go on a Tauck trip somewhere. Last year we went to California and saw almost everything there! Our first stop was the Golden Gate Bridge. My grandma didn’t walk on it because she was afraid of heights but my grandpa and I walked on it and it was so amazing. Throughout the trip we did really cool things but my favorite part of the trip was our tram ride to see the giant Sequoias. They were so big they even had names! The trip went by like lightning and it was all over. Truly this was my favorite time with my grandparents.”                                    – Sam, age 10

“Everything on our trip was exceptional. Our Tauck Director was awesome. Her energy and enthusiasm were contagious, I can’t think of one time when she was not helpful and exceedingly courteous. She went above and beyond in every way... well done!” – Mark Tucker

“The Yosomite Park inspired me to clean up in my naperhood.”  – Curtis, age 9

“I learned that Lombard Street is the crookedest street.”  – Amanda, age 11

“I learned that Yosemite was saved by John Muir.”  – Mikayla, age 9

“The Sequoia trees were bigger than you.”  – Brianna, age 13

Red Rocks & Painted Canyons

“I loved to communicate with others and this experience really let me see the true beauty of our wonderful world. The tour overall was AWESOME!” – Seth, age 11

“The Grand Canyon colors made me speechless. It was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. It felt like you were on top of the world. I thought I wouldn’t like tours, but this was not one of those tours where you HAVE to do everything with the rest of the tour. They give you a decent amount of down time, and I also made a really good friend! Whether we were riding mules, or swimming, or watching fireworks, I cannot decide which I liked best. They were all the ‘top of the top.’ The last hotel we stayed at was amazing, and the view made it seem like you were in a presidential suite in the fanciest hotel in the world. There was never a time where I was bored. I couldn’t, even if I tried, complain about one thing from this trip. It was the time of my life!” – Kayla, age 12

Cowboy Country

“We took our daughter and grandson on this trip with us, and everyone had a terrific time. I want to praise our fabulous Tauck Director... she was wonderful with the children and totally in control of all the millions of details that make a tour seamless.” – Barbara & Lew Lippard, CA

“The trip was in a word phenomenal! This was Lee’s trip of his life. He has always wanted to vacation out west. His mom and dad had lived in Cody right after their honeymoon to Yellowstone… so he had a kind of connection and just wanted to experience that area. The scenery was breathtaking, the people were wonderful and the tour was outstanding. We are sure this will not be our last trip out west.” – Elizabeth

“There were so many memorable moments, from rafting by a moose at close range on the Snake River to watching Old Faithful erupt right on time, to staring up at four huge faces carved into a mountain. It was a joy to share a week of such fascination and discovery together.”  – Liz Walters

“I learned to ride a horse and I learned about the Hoo Doos, and geology.” – Luke, Age 10

Alaska: Call of the Wild

“I have been home several days and needed to write to you about the wonderful “Call of the Wild” trip in Alaska. This is the second Bridges trip I have taken and came home with the same feeling – the trip is so well planned in the interest of all of the children. We had sixteen children on this trip. I took three grandsons from three different families and they had such a wonderful time. I am hoping to be able to take other grandchildren in the near future to explore our world with Tauck.” – Dorothy Jean Snyder, MD

“We took this magnificent trip last summer with our two children, ages 10 and 13. Your Tauck Director made it all seem effortless… she was a huge – and favorite – part of our vacation and made us all feel like family. Thank you for delivering what was promised and then some. We will be recommending Tauck Bridges very highly.” – The Hoffman Family, PA

Italia Bella: Rome to Venice

“Our trip to Italy last month was, far and away, THE BEST TRIP OF OUR LIVES!  This goes for every one of us - Steve, me, all 4 kids.  To go into detail would likely take me a week, and I couldn't possibly pick a favorite part.  The private tour of the Vatican Museums/Sistine Chapel with only about 80 of us, total, was the opportunity of a lifetime – I was crying & speechless.  The pizza making night was one of our most fun evenings, seeing the Venetian mask maker & Murano glass blowers were events we'll treasure.  (Plus, we blew a lot of $ on both those things.  I am SO happy, and so were the mask maker & glass co.!)  The gondola ride was a dream - complete with accordion player & Italian Tenor serenading us as we glided along the canals at sunset.  Can't ask for better than that.  We loved all of Rome, adored Florence, want to retire to Orvieto (!!!), had a blast in Pisa, and ended the tour in the magical Venice.” – The Lynn Family, PA

“It was very interesting to see where my grandmother came from and to see all of the architecture. It was fun to meet all of the kids.”  – Laura, age 12

Tanzania: A Grand Family Safari

“We were so pleased with what we called Tauck touches and standards. Your guide taught us about the animals, area and culture. His ability to make the group of children and parents come together and give them the time of their lives was done so smoothly. Thanks for all you do in creating a world experience for us all.” – Gene Iwamoto, MD

“Our safari was the best… fabulous itinerary, the hotels and food were perfect with scrumptious meals. We saw hundreds of animals and the people of Tanzania are so friendly. This trip will always be in my heart.” – Peggy Becker, TX

Galápagos: Wildlife Wonderland

“The Galápagos Islands are amazing. There were species on each island that you would not see anywhere else. We loved the fact that birds do not fly away when humans approach and that even the sea lions came over to some of the people to brush against them!”  – From the Tauck Travel Forum

Castles & Kings: London to Paris

“We celebrated our grandson’s Bar Mitzvah on Castles & Kings: London to Paris –Tauck did a terrific job mixing events that appealed mainly to children with those that appealed most to adults. Everything Tauck does is first class; the hotels were great and very centrally located. My wife Irene and I can’t wait to take our other grandchildren on Tauck Bridges trips.” – Jerry Davis, NJ

“Something that inspired me was the Greek gods sculptures (to learn more) and the Montmartre painters (to never give up my love for the arts.)”  – Ali, Age 14

“I could go on and on about how much fun we had as a family. The hotels were outstanding and our tour guide was so knowledgeable and great fun – she was a very caring person and made touring about in London and Paris into a great time.  You choose your staff well.”  – Donna Reinas, PA

Wonders of the Canadian Rockies

“We have just returned from the vacation of a lifetime on Wonders of the Canadian Rockies. Of course, being with our entire family didn’t hurt our complete satisfaction with our trip. We are telling all our friends and family what a wonderful time we had and that this Tauck Bridges trip is not to be missed. Tauck is the best.” – Sonia Kutzin, NY

Blue Danube: Family Riverboat Adventure

“17 members of our family rolled down the river with us this summer to celebrate three family birthdays. 7-year-old Daniel saw and learned extraordinary stuff on the river cruise. The crew was very friendly. They did magic tricks and made warm pretzels. In Vienna we had dinner in a palace. I got to put on a medieval helmet in a castle.” – The Cowan Family

Costa Rica: Jungles & Rainforests

“This year I went with my grandma on Jungles & Rainforests of Costa Rica. Since this was my first Tauck tour, I was very pleased with what I saw. Carla and all the other local guides were great. The scenery was spectacular. I really enjoyed seeing the diversity of God’s creation. Thank you for choosing such diversity of landscapes, plants and flowers and wildlife to send a tour to. It was wonderful adventure.”  – Andrew Kiewit, age 10

“We are writing to tell you how very much we enjoyed our recent trip to Costa Rica with you. There is no questions that this trip ranked a perfect ‘10’ on any scale: absolutely wonderful, extremely organized and well run. Our guide was extraordinary and handled both the children and the adults with efficiency and good humor. Thank you for providing us with such a terrific experience. We and our grandson had an exceptional time.” – Louis and Sally Kaplan, DC

The Sweet Life: Rome & Sorrento

“The Colosseum, Vatican, Pompeii was a dream come true for my 13-year old who gushed, ‘we learned about this in school.’ We also participated in family activities like pizza-making (and the eating thereof) to learning the ancient art of making paper, dancing the Tarantella and concocting one’s own gelato.” – Michael Baginski

“I highly recommend Tauck, especially for families who don’t have a lot of time and holiday once a year. This is the most stress-free holiday we’ve ever had. From now on, we’re only traveling with Tauck!” –  Phil and Kim, SC

Patriots of America

“A wonderful trip with my granddaughter, with many good programs for the entire group… I loved not being the trip organizer and guide and just showing up to experience the planned activities… Ken Burns’s videos were great and set the stage for what we were going to see…  liked talking to people at Williamsburg regarding the history… liked everything, very well done and my grandchildren, ages 11 and 14, enjoyed the trip very much.” – Excerpts from Guest Comment Cards
