Below are examples of Tauck “Insider” experiences, which could be difficult and sometimes impossible for independent travelers to arrange on their own.

 

Lake Titicaca (Peru/Bolivia border):  Guests travel by powerboat to visit one of the lake’s man-made reed islands to meet local Aymara residents and learn about their unique aquatic lifestyle.  Available on “Empire of the Incas: Peru & Bolivia” and new for 2009, 13-day itinerary prices start at $4,555 per person.

 

Ourika Valley, Morocco:  A private visit with a Berber family in their home, where Tauck guests enjoy a traditional tea ceremony.  Featured on “Road To Morocco” and new tour for 2009, the nine-day excursion prices start at $3,790 per person.

 

Loire Valley, France:  On the 13-day escape, travelers will have a personal visit with a baron at his ancestral chateau, which has been occupied by his family since 1728.  The baron leads guests on a tour of the chateau and provides a demonstration with his prized hunting hounds, before hosting Tauck guests for a reception and dinner at the chateau.  Offered on the “Normandy, Brittany, Paris & The Loire Valley,” prices start at $4,990 per person.

 

Vienna, Austria:  Guests enjoy an “imperial evening” at a historic palace in Vienna, where they are treated to a grand dinner and a performance of classical Viennese compositions by local musicians in period dress.  Travelers can experience the tasty cuisine and serenade on the 12-day “The Blue Danube” itinerary and “Amsterdam to Budapest By Riverboat” 15-day journey, prices starting respectively at $3,990 and $5,390 per person. 

 

Moscow, Russia:  Tauck guests receive a tour of Josef Stalin’s formerly top-secret bunker, where they view its command center and Stalin’s personal effects, and enjoy a private lunch.  One of the last experiences on the “Russian Glories, Baltic Treasures” 15-day trip, prices start at $6,490 per person.
