“The excitement and degree of collaboration we’re seeing in this partnership has been nothing short of inspiring... we’re crafting
something truly memorable here.” THE ARCHITECTS
— Dan Mahar, Tauck CEO
Ken Burns and Dayton Duncan have been working alongside Tauck’s team of tour architects to craft experiences that bring the stories and themes from their films and books to life in firsthand travel experiences; we’re pleased to present Ken Burns American Journeys. Tauck has been telling the story of America’s history and culture to our guests for 86+ years. By adding the unique voices of Ken and Dayton to the efforts of our award- winning operations team, we’re taking our guests’ experiences to an even deeper level with trips Crafted by Tauck & Ken Burns: Spirit of the Desert: The National Parks of the Southwest (page 16) is joined by the new-for-2012 Yosemite and Sequoia: John Muir’s California (page 30) and Tauck Culturious’ Wonderland: Yellowstone in Winter (page 47). While experiencing the immense grandeur of the national parks, guests hear inspiring stories of the visionaries who devoted themselves to preserving them. And on Most Hallowed Ground (page 80), guests delve into the personal stories behind major events of the Civil War, from Washington, DC, to battlefields that defined the war.
