Contact Your Travel Expert

Tauck, the ultra-luxury tour and cruise operator, celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2025 with new land tours in some of the most popular European destinations: Italy, France, England and Switzerland. In all, Tauck will offer 39 land tours to Europe in 2025, including 5 Tauck Bridges itineraries designed specifically for families. 

The quartet of new itineraries includes “A Week In… Piedmont” and “A Week In… Switzerland” (both additions to the company’s popular “A Week In…” collection of eight-day tours) as well as two longer tours, “England and the West Country” (11 days) and “Paris, Dordogne & Bordeaux” (14 days).

In recent years Tauck has actively reduced the average group size of its land tours in Europe (and elsewhere), with the introduction of its popular Small Group departures averaging 24 guests each, and more recently, with its Smaller Group trips averaging just 15 guests. With the reduced group sizes, Tauck guests are able to enjoy more intimate and interactive engagement within the destination and have access to people, places and experiences unavailable to larger groups.

Also for 2025, Tauck is boosting its ‘shoulder season’ departures, primarily during October and November. More and more travelers are discovering autumn is a wonderful time to visit Europe, as temperatures are cooler and crowds are fewer. 

It’s also a win-win for local communities. Along with the advantages to Tauck’s guests, adding departures during the shoulder season also benefits local communities in Europe, as destinations are far better able to welcome additional visitors in the fall and spring versus during the peak summer travel season. 

Tauck’s four new European land tours are:
