I got an e-mail from my travel agent today alerting me to the fact that my March trip has been cancelled. Disappointing, but not surprising. The website says that Tauck expects its other Jordan tours to go forward beginning in March, but the "Jerusalem, the Red Sea & Petra" was cancelled due to "other considerations." My TA told me that Tauck told her that they're still training the people involved with the tour and could not offer the best Tauck experience, so it was better to cancel the tour. I would not want to pay Tauck's prices for a tour that wasn't up to their usual level of service, so I'm okay with it. I wonder whether the issue was with TDs, local guides, or accommodations, and whether the delay in training was Covid-related. If anyone hears something, please post.
