Many Tauck travelers prefer arriving ato their destination a day before their Tauck journey begins, or often extend a stay at the end of their trip.

As a service, Tauck will make hotel reservations before and after your journey. Rooms are usually reserved at the first or last night’s hotel property of a tour so there is no worry of having to change hotels or rooms at the start or end of your trip. Rooms are reserved on a space-available basis, and the cost is added to your tour cost.
