2011 - Grand Australia & New Zealand
2015 - A Week in London & Paris
2017 - Holland & Belgium in Spring River Cruise
2021 - Switzerland: Europe's Crown Jewel

Booked Tour:

2023 - Christmas Markets Along the Danube

I have a spreadsheet listed by year - it also includes trips taken with other companies and ones we've done independently. For each tour, I also list the countries and/or states we visited.

JanP

Mine are organized similar to BKMD. I also have photo books for each of the trips we’ve taken. We’ve also done independent travel (domestic and some in Canada) that I didn’t include on my list.

I have ours on a spread sheet like Smiling Sam (along with all our other travels since 2004). I'm just sorry I didn't think of ranking them all. Guess I have some homework.
Back in the early days most our trips were on our own, like renting a car in Germany and taking a wee spin or two on the autobahn .

NancyCohen

Before or after all of my Tauck trips, I’ve added 1-3 weeks of additional travel (Hong King 3 times), Singapore, Thailand, South Africa.

MarketArt

uh-oh. My iPad is up-to-date, with occasional unidentified photo, but some old stuff is on a defunct laptop, not to mention I must have traveled pre-computer & maybe even pre-camera. I'll take the consolation prize.

BKMD

I've received a few questions about the list I posted on July 7 (page 1).

First, the way I posted that list is with Windows' snip tool. It's a jpg.

Second, the list includes both tours and "vacations." For example, what's "Montrose-Leadville"? Montrose was where we stayed while visiting Black Canyon of the Gunnison NP, one of the least visited parks in the country, but spectacular. Leadville is a cutesy Victorian town in the mountains of Colorado. It's the city with the highest elevation in the US. Formerly a mining town, it's now a touristy place in the summer, with an excellent mining museum and is "basecamp" for hiking, as it's surrounded by a number of 14ers. When Tauck ran its Colorado tour, Leadville was a stop.

And last, there's a gap in dates at the top of my list because at the beginning of Covid, I started to digitize my slides from the pre-digital days, starting with a 2001 trip. I quickly abandoned the project as it wasn't going well. So many of the early 2000s trips are still on on film.

August 2003 - Yellowstone & Grand Tetons
June 2008 - Canadian Rockies
September 2012 - Central Europe (Warsaw, Hungary, etc.)
June 2014 - England, Scotland & Wales
September 2014 - Classic Italy
February 2015 - Australia & New Zealand
September 2015 - Spain & Portugal
June 2016 - France
August 2016 - Michigan/Mackinac Island
September 2016 - Northern Paradors
April 2017 - California
September 2017 - Baltic States & Russia
May 2018 - Crotia, Slovenia & Italy
September 2018 - Central Europe (repeat tour of 2012)

Smiling Sam

travel maven - That's an admirable Bucket List. I hope you get to do them all and more.

travel maven

Thank you, Smiling Sam. Between Covid and health issues, I lost 3 years but I am hopeful I can get back on track again. So much to see in this beautiful world of ours.

OurTravels34

I forgot to mention in 2020, I toured my home and cleaned out closets, drawers, cabinets, relined shelves, cleaned out the garage, painted, donated items, etc. The honey-do list continues. Alot was accomplished that year.

Claudia Sails

Ourtravels, I did most of that too and dang, but it all needs to be done again.

Karenna

According to Tauck, 8, but I think their count may be a little low. I have 1 river cruise planned for this year and Switzerland's Crown Jewels (4th attempt) next year.

I admire the folks with the spreadsheets...oh to be so organized!

OurTravels34

Claudia, I agree. I’ve come to the realization at this stage in my life that less is more. I do like nice things and hood quality but not in abundance.

smarks50

32 tours completed as of last month and two more tours (Scotland and Bali) to be completed in the next six weeks. I have two more tours booked for 2022 (Antarctica and New England) but I may cancel those and several trips planned for 2023 due to recent very poor service by this company.

OurTravels34

Smarks50. Be patient. We’ve just been through a pandemic that shut done the entire world. I doubt you’ll get better service anywhere else.

British

Tauck has us down for less tours than we have taken. We realized that a few years ago. I think it was before computers were invented😀 We no longer remember them all as so many have been changed or discontinued. We certainly can’t remember which year we took them.
Our latest tour starts tomorrow.

tomh

42 to date (U.S./Canada/Europe, including land, riverboat, Events)

British

There are people who have taken a hundred. We’ve met several people who have taken many more than us. We just started traveling with Tauck when we were much younger than most do.

BKMD

There are people who have taken a hundred.

That's like people who live on cruise ships.

Smiling Sam

British - Here’s some Nerd talk for you. Are you sure those 100 tours aren’t in octal or some lower based number system. 😂

tomh

I remember hearing of one woman who had traveled more than 100. She and her husband had traveled with Tauck and after he died, she continued to travel with Tauck as well.

British

Yes, there are more people than you May think who have traveled zillions of times with Tauck.
Not with Tauck, but we met a guy on a tour early this year who had been to 130 countries. He was fascinating to talk to. We also discovered that we will be on the same tour with him in September 2023, so we look forward to that.
