Another Great Tauck River Cruise

PROS

Service, Ease of Travel, Accommodations, Food, Variety of Tours

CONS

Would have liked to have seen the highlights of Paris

RECOMMENDED

Yes

This was our second Tauck River Cruise and it was just as wonderful as the first. Tauck makes it easy to plan and travel to great places with top notch accommodations and service. Although this is not an inexpensive trip, it's still a great value. We will certainly book another Tauck trip.

Seine River Cruise

SEPTEMBER

Star Star Star Star Star

PROS

The crew of the ship was absolutely GREAT

CONS

Not enough time to do everything

RECOMMENDED

Yes

This is our second river cruise in Europe. I would highly recommend the cruises that Tauck has to offer. Tauck went out of its way to solve a problem that was not theirs. The military cemetery at Omaha Beach had an electrical problem, the day we were to visit. The cemetery was thus closed for the day. Within 12 hours Tauck had made plans to get us back and not disrupt the overall schedule. The experience of going to the D-Day Beaches and Cemetery was highly moving!
