STORIES FROM THE ROAD


In the words of Scott Supernaw: “Ireland was one of our first countries to research and investigate. The government was so enamored with the prospect of Tauck developing a tour program for Ireland they gave us a small van to use for driving around. Herbert drove, Arthur navigated and I bounced along on the hardened benches as we drove along many of Ireland’s unpaved ‘yellow’ roads. We learned early on that asking directions was an experience in itself and one that paid off handsomely in personal recommendations and introductions. In fact, that’s how we came to include lunch at Molanna’s dairy farm on our trips in Ireland.”


“The right hotel for the itinerary – Back in the early ‘90s, Europe’s small family-run hotels were reticent to open their doors to “group travelers,” fearing that they wouldn’t be able to fully meet their needs.

other owners of manor houses, châteaux, villas and castles that our guests thrived on the warm, personal service that wasn’t available in large hotels. We still enjoy that kind of hospitality today.”


“Meeting royalty is always a special occasion. To enjoy cocktails and dine with them is even better. That’s what we’ve been doing at Prague’s Nelahozeves Castle since we first met its owners, nobility who still host Tauck’s private gala dinners.”


“We had a tough time explaining to local restaurants that they could easily accommodate Tauck guests for meals. A top chef at one of Europe’s finest dining rooms threatened to walk out if our group walked in for dinner. We assured him that our guests would make their dining reservations just like their other guests did, dining when and with whom they want. Our guests are still dining at that hotel, and others like it 20 years later.”
