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.

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.

No, not safe. Not even safe to brush your teeth with it. Tauck provides water,

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?

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!

Re: We are back from our RENDEZVOUS ON THE SEINE RiverCruise

Kathrine - in Paris Tauck usually docks at Quai Grenelle which is on the left bank about a mile down river from the Eiffel Tower. As to timing, if for some reason you need the info before leaving the US, you can call Tauck and the agents have the info. They don't share it ahead of time because lots of things can cause changes.

We've always loved the food and wine on Tauck's river cruises. What I love is that for lunch and dinner they include local specialties. Our first couple of cruises the food was good but they didn't include this regional focus. If you found a bottle of wine during your excursions, the wait staff will serve it for you. No corkage fee. We've never felt the need. Dinner every night on board the wines are specifically chosen by the sommelier to go with what the chef is serving.

Enjoy.
