    Hi Smiling Sam, thank you for your wonderful report on the Kingdom and Dragons tour. We are set to go on May 23 and are very excited. We will be arriving two days early. Our flights are out MIA via DOH on Qatar. This will be our 24th TAUCK tour which have all been outside the USA. A question regarding clothing.....from my wife. I keep telling her that for the daytime with the exception of SIN we should wear Columbia type of clothing as we have done in Africa and Southeast Asia, and in the evenings some elegant but yet light clothing because of the heat. The other question she has posed, its about shoes............if it rains which is due to happen, I believe that it would be wise to bring at least two pairs of good walking shoes for the daytime excursions as that will give chance for time to dry. We are staying an extra five days in BALI for some R^R and after reading your review, it seems that the tour is quite busy and demanding physically. We have not made any plans for those days.

    Hi Smiling Sam. Apologies for taking over a year to respond to your question but it's been a long time since I was on the chat board. I've now been on 5 Tauck tours, and Amalfi Coast tour still remains my/our favorite. Other tours were: Tauck Bridges to Italy (Rome, Florence & Venice), Tauck to Switzerland (really disliked this one a lot, tour guide named Peter was AWFUL! & food was awful - some of the hotel rooms were also below par), Tauck's Week in Portugal (it was OK. Some food not good --- quantity not quality, some hotels not so great); and Tauck's Week in Puglia which was nice just not as stunning as the Amalfi Coast. Hope this helps.
