New to Tauck

in Warsaw, Budapest, Vienna & Prague, Jewish Heritage

My husband, brother-in-law and I have booked the May-June, 2025 tour. We were wondering who else has been on this tour and what to expect. Time alloted on tours, etc. My husband and I have been to many of the places on this tour, but our brother-in-law has not.

    Moreen, while I haven't taken the Jewish Heritage tour, I did take the Warsaw, Budapest, Vienna & Prague tour in 2012 and again in 2018. I have traveled with Tauck many times but this tour will forever remain my favorite. My grandparents immigrated from Poland so I always arrive a few days early in Warsaw to do things on my own. On my last trip, I went to the Warsaw Zoo and visited the villa where the Zabinska's lived. Their lives were depicted in the movie "The Zookeeper's Wife" with Jessica Chastain.

    We also took the regular tour some years ago and enjoyed it. Didn’t that zoo close?

    I did the "regular" tour in 2017. One of my favorites, partly due to outstanding TD (Stephen Fischer) who was nicknamed The Professor for his wealth of knowledge. I considered doing the Jewish Heritage tour, but thought it would be too depressing, so chose the standard tour which included many Jewish sites. In Warsaw, I spent a half day of free time at the POLIN museum, which was included in the JH tour, but not the standard tour. Highly recommend it.

    Thank you for the replies. I was wondering on the dress code for the private concert in the Viennese palace. Do my husband and brother-in-law need a sport coat? I'm sure I can get by with black pants and a nice top unless women have to dress up too.

    When we took the tour, it was casual, but every group is different . There are only the Tauck people there that you have already met. In fact, one couple wore safari clothing…..no, that was not us.

    Our concert was fabulous. It was a hot day and we were told the palace wasn't air conditioned. I wore shorts.
    If the concert is the same, it was only our group, so no dress code. They did have a few fans set up.

    Thanks again for the responses. Who else is on this tour. I notice it is fully booked.
