Scavenger hunt at Musée du Louvre

Musée du Louvre

In Paris, Tauck Bridges families explore, learn and have fun during an art-filled scavenger hunt in Musée du Louvre. See Mona Lisa smile, fall in love with Venus de Milo, meet Bernini's sleeping beauty, mingle with Monets, Michelangelos, Rembrandts and Renoirs...

Private capsule on the London Eye

Soaring over London aboard the London Eye

Your family will feel as though they are part of the London skyline when they get a bird's-eye view of the city while soaring high above it in Tauck's private observation capsule. Centuries of history are put into perspective as you gaze down from your unique perspective 450 feet above the Thames River... truly the world's most exciting observation wheel!

Speedboating on the River Thames

James Bond-style adventure on the River Thames

Your family combines thrills galore with London's top sights on a speedboat adventure through history along the River Thames. The view from the river is completely different than what you've seen before... the commentary is witty and enlightening... and iconic landmarks such as Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, London Bridge, and St. Paul's Cathedral take on a different perspective with the thrill of turbo powered speed...

Our tour director Barnaby called us "rockstars." For the group photo, he bought all the "rockstars" berets. Thanks to Barnaby, I had a memorable vacation and I hope to take another one soon!

Protect Your Travel Investment

Deposit Protection Plan – Tauck provides a "Deposit Protection Plan" at a cost of AUD $75 per person per tour or cruise. The cost is non-refundable and non-transferable and must be paid at the time of booking with your deposit. It only applies when you cancel your tour or cruise prior to final payment date. The deposit held in credit will exclude fees imposed by third parties in relation to air, rail travel, hotels, transfer or applicable cruise cabins. When booking airfares through Tauck (including when taking advantage of a special offer that includes air travel), standard airline cancellation fees will apply. In some cases, airfares will be non-refundable. In the event of cancellation, these fees will be deducted from the deposit paid, and therefore the credit being held. We will only credit the remainder of deposit to a future tour or cruise booking if you book within 24 months of cancellation of the original Tauck tour or cruise. This offer expires after the 24 months. We will only credit the remainder of the deposit to a future tour or cruise booking Balance Due and it can't be used as a credit for the initial deposit of a future tour or cruise booking. The Tauck "Deposit Protection Plan" only covers a Tauck tour or cruise and it does not replace Travel Insurance, which we recommend at the time of booking.
