We have a river cruise and land tour coming up soon. We got the special 100th Anniversary luggage tags but I'm not sure which tour that was for. Then today we also got Tauck duffel bags that were to be used on the overnight ferry from Copenhagen to Oslo that has now been turned into a flight. We got a letter cancelling that a month ago so I thought Tauck had cancelled the bags but I guess not. They are fairly large so I don't think I'll be using them as a carryon.
We're taking our family (5 adults, 2 young granddaughters ages 7 & 10) on the Bridges "Wonders of the Canadian Rockies" tour in June.
My husband and I received (at our home address) 2 beautiful "memory boxes" with 4 luggage tags in each box.
A few days later, our single adult daughter received (at her home) a memory box with 2 luggage tags.
Our daughter/son-in-law and 2 grand girls have not received anything.
We gave both grand girls the 2 memory boxes that we had received and 4 luggage tags for the family.
A week later, we received 2 nice back packs. No one else in our travel party have received the back packs.
We're giving our backpacks to the grand girls. (I attempted to add photos to this post, but it doesn't appear it worked.)
bobbette, I would imagine who received what depends mostly on what home addresses Tauck has and how the reservations were made. The backpacks look nice. We probably would have gotten more use out of backpacks than duffel bags -- easier to carry.
We did get duffle bags, tags for Peru Machu Picchu via mail prior to the trip and backpacks/water bottle/poncho on the Galapagos leg of this trip when on board of Silver Origin. It was a fantastic trip.
When we took one of the Bridges tours the backpacks all went to one address They are for the children to use and will be expected to do so. They are huge. They should come with a water bottle and a pack of playing cards. Fortunately we all live fairly near or we would not have been able to hand them out. I bought tags with the children’s names on for recognition between everyone. The following year, more backpacks for our security Bridges tours this time I ensured all the addresses and connected were correct.
The first time Tauck had my son and daughter in the same room and my daughter and son in law in another and all the children mixed up. It caused great hilarity between us all
All of us in our party ( four sisters and three of their husbands) received the memory boxes with luggage tags. We have not received anything else and we leave in three weeks. The memory boxes are nicely decorated and good for storage of brochures, etc. for all of our Tauck tours. The luggage tags are very nice. We certainly appreciate the gifts.
Last year we received a set of the packing cubes and they are of high quality and we use them all the time. Recently, we received the memory box and luggage tags. I appreciate both gifts and the gesture from Tauck but I think the tags are too big and I have visions of them getting snagged on some airport luggage belt and who knows what happens as a result. Call me cautious after decades of travel,
We get 5 % discount off the total price of a tour with another company for loyalty. We have plenty of luggage tags. I didn’t want to put a fancy Tauck tag on my luggage because it identifies my bag as a possible good steal for a specific high end company in the smaller airports where anyone can walk into the baggage area. I’m not ungrateful but outstanding graciousness, they have gone to first time customers. Their prices have sky rocketed. Unfortunately I have not found use for the heavy packing cubes, large toilet bag and now luggage tags. The two coffee cups I received were broken on arrival….i called Tauck to tell them how badly they were packed I specifically asked not to bother sending me any more because I was about to leave on a Tauck tour. But they sent me them anyway and they sat on my doorstep the entire time we were away. I was not happy. Two cheap white made in China cups that will never grace my kitchen.

We just got back from France and received the Luggage Tags. Some got bathroom toiletry bags according to the Tauck facebook group I follow.

My handy husband turned one of the tags into a key chain and uses it to hold a key for a side gate. Tauck’s graciousness is outstanding.
