Some September tours may operate

Thanks for sharing, that’s a great tour, would happily take it again

Hard to see a European Tour coming in the near future. EU has shut down travel from the US, and I don't see it opening up until progress is made on infection rates. We have a Classic Italy tour scheduled for October 4th. Flights have been canceled so, if it goes through, we have no booked way of getting home or back. I wish Tauck would go ahead and cancel, so I could deal with the side tours already booked and rebook for 2021.

Yes ,of course , all those different considerations have to be thought about. I’d be nervous traveling with the usual crowd of Floridians at present. I’m also concerned whether Tauck will enforce proper face mask Wearing on the tours. I see too many people not covering their noses. If I ask the supermarket check out people to cover them they refuse stating their boss says it is not compulsory. I spoke to the manager at Costco this week as many of their checkout people don’t cover their noses, she said if they have underly Medical conditions she can’t do anything...must be a lot of employees like that.

I'm still waiting to hear on my Sept 4th Switzerland tour.

Got a call yesterday from Tauck asking if we still wanted to do the tour, and also if our dates were flexible in case they need to consolidate tours.

Interesting. When I saw the June 26 COVID update on Tauck's home page, I thought, "They're getting ready to start up again." I figured that the domestic trips, especially the national park trips, would probably be the first to operate. Looks like I was right.

I haven't heard from them yet on my September Canadian Maritimes trip. The airline has cancelled my flights to Canada and the border remains closed to tourism (they extend the closure every month about 5 days before it expires). I sure hope Tauck cancels the tour before I have to make the final payment. I expect they will, but still a little nervous. Also wondering when American Airlines will get around to canceling my Dublin flights for my (cancelled) August Ireland tour. Still on the books as of today.

I'm still waiting on word about my early September Switzerland tour and when I called Tauck yesterday, I was told a decision will be made on the 6th. I am not sure if this is only regarding September tours (I know some Sept and Oct tours have already been cancelled), but hopefully we'll know more on Monday.

Anyone hear about September 4, 2020 South Africa An Elegant Adventure? As of now South Africa is closed to tourism until Feb 2021. I read that the Tourism Board is pushing to open by Sept. But seems to me that Sept 4th tour should be cancelled by now! Particularly with full payment due 45 days before we should be notified. Travel Agent said “they’re not up to that yet” and no response to my email to Tauck. Anyone get any answers?

We have a Sept 25 Elegant Adventure booked this year. I can’t see how they can operate. The US Embassy is still offering repatriation flights back. There is only one to US in July.
