We’re drawn to the National Parks because they essentially capture something human. There’s something active and dramatic, contemplative and interior, expansive and spectacular, intimate and spiritual… – FILMMAKER KEN BURNS


TAUCK & NORTH AMERICA’S NATIONAL PARKS


Our relationship with National Parks in the US and Canada goes back to our very first tour in the 1920s. Today, ingenuity, years of expertise, local friends we’ve made along the way, and our love of the National Parks continue to create new ways for guests to experience them. At last count, Tauck visits 51 National Parks, monuments and historic sites from Acadia to Zion in destinations ranging from Maine to Hawaii. We pride ourselves on providing unique insider access to these special places in ways that make sharing them with your friends and family unforgettable.


EXCLUSIVE GUIDED TRIPS TO AMERICA’S NATIONAL PARKS


In 2010, we approached award-winning filmmakers Ken Burns and Dayton Duncan about joining together to develop special travel experiences around the themes of their documentary films created over 30+ years. Together, six years later, we’ve enhanced 13 journeys and created over 100 original film vignettes (Stories by Ken Burns), created six tours (Crafted by Tauck and Ken Burns) and developed special Ken Burns Events; all connect guests with destinations in deep and lasting ways. In 2016, our partnership continues to flourish with two new tours – Bluegrass & Blue Ridges: Louisville to Nashville and In Freedom’s Footsteps: Philadelphia to Washington, DC.


Their acclaimed film The National Parks: America’s Best Idea took them over 10 years to create. Tapping into this, Ken and Dayton share their unique perspectives, behind-the-scenes insights and their extensive network of local experts to maximize your travel experience in the National Parks in ways that add layers of meaning and appreciation. Storytelling, sharing the stories of people and places, is at the heart of every National Park journey.
