Re: Welcome to Tauck's Rhine Connoisseur: Brussels to Montreux - Northbound Forum
Going on this cruise next week, leaving May 23rd, tour starts on the 25th, had to postpone from April due to my knee surgery so I can't wait. I'm just taking nice slacks and tops for some evenings, other ones I'll just probably wear what I had on that day.
Re: Green book and insider tips
- Green Book- before switching to an online PDF document, Tauck published a spiral bound book (with green cover) that contained copies of your final documents- contract/financial summatr, tour itinerary, arrival and departure info, etc., etc. Many of us still refer to the PDF as the "e-Green Book." You will receive this document as a link in an email about 60 days prior to departure. It is also in your "My Account."
- The best way to learn about Tauck and your tour is to follow the forums and search the sub-forums listed at the right side of this page. There is an echelon arrangement with tours listed by area. Drill down and read all the posts about your tour. Once you get proficient, you can actually search the forums by area, subject, author, etc. See "Search" block in the upper right.
- Insider tip, see #2 above.
Tauck has never published a forum user's guide.

Re: Water?
I cover the faucets in Africa with a face cloth or one of my socks as a reminder not to use the tap water. Tauck provides all the water you will need.
Green book and insider tips
Hi. My husband and I are first time Tauck Tour travelers and will be going on the June 3-15 Amalfi Coast tour. Between now and then I will be taking advantage of your generous information and tips by posting my mostly naive questions. I have done a little perusing and have seen the term "Green Book" several times. In speaking with two different Tauck customer representatives, neither could tell me what a Green Book is. That's my first question. What's a green book? Next, Is there a suggested effective way to maneuver through the site to learn from others? Last for now but not forever: any insider tips for a couple of newbies? Thank you so much. This community forum is extraordinary.

Re: Water?
Only use the water that Tauck provides like British said even to brush your teeth.
Re: We are back from our RENDEZVOUS ON THE SEINE RiverCruise
Thank you for the review. We are doing this trip next year on the new ship. A couple of questions, when do you get information on when the ship docks and leaves each port and where is the ship docked in Paris? What was your favorite meal on the ship? Also, how was the included wine or did you purchase bottles to drink on the ship?
Re: We are back from our RENDEZVOUS ON THE SEINE RiverCruise
The Hotel Lutetia has been completely redone. It is the nicest hotel I have ever been in. All of the electrical system in the rooms are iPad like devices. If you are interested in a concert, try Classictic Paris. They do have concert at a number of unique locations including St Chapelle which should may be at the time when the stain glass is illuminated by the sunset.

Thanks to everyone who has provided feedback/suggestions for this tour. We are going in September - our son and daughter-in-law will be joining us for their first Tauck tour. This will be our first time in Paris and we are excited!
