Fabulous trip! Outstanding (well known) Tauck tour guide and driving / flying associates. We booked Business Class with Turkish Airlines ... good service. This tour was everything we hoped for timewise, and in viewing wildlife and locations. Packed lightly and only used my dress evening jacket while traveling. As physicians, we were well stocked with emergency meds and shared those with some mildly afflicted fellow travelers who agreed to treatment. I highly recommend that any serious traveler have their personal physician prescribe gastrointestinal meds among other typical remedies (antibiotics, analgesics, steroidal and non-steroidal anti-inflammatories, etc.). Food quite excellent and bountiful. As usual, other guests were a mix of social and reluctant conversationalists ... no surprise there! I would heartily recommend this excursion as a "must do" on the short bucket list. Our original booking was canceled by Covid ... we were so glad we revisited this option. Upon return we immediately booked our next Tauck trip.
Re: Romantic Rhine for Tulips?
I believe Tauck still has a springtime river cruise that takes you to Keukenhof Gardens. That tour would be preferential for viewing tulips. Check their website for details.
With pre/post tour days in Amsterdam, you can arrange your own transportation to the Garden.

Re: Romantic Rhine for Tulips?
For 2026 the April 8th cruise maybe a little early for tulips but many of the other flowers will be beginning to bloom. The average peak is the mid month to late month of April. The cruise on the 22nd would be perfect. Very easy day trip from Amsterdam with multiple options. In 2025, our Tauck Keukenhof garden day visit was on the 18th and it was perfect. We came in early to Amsterdam on 4/6 and the flowers tulips were just starting to bloom. The extra 12 days made a huge difference. Around May 1, they will start dead heading the tulips in the fields.

Re: A brief summary Classic Kenya and Tanzania
Our group donated over nine hundred dollars. Some donated a lot, and some donated little. Give whatever makes you feel good. Give the money to your TD not to the school people unless you want them to have a new hair do. Our TD took the money to the next town and bought supplies and hired a truck to bring them to the school.

It’s a personal thing. I think to sponsor a child was about $1000
I just googled the school that we visited with Tauck, I’ve been there twice. To sponsor a child is actually $1700. We sponsor the FAME hospital nearby which is why our soccer balls don’t seem much.
