2017 BACK-TO-BACK TOURS
Many of Tauck’s journeys and cruises worldwide offer departures that operate consecutively with departures of other Tauck trips in a particular region – making them a perfect option for guests looking to combine two back-to-back Tauck trips together into one extended Tauck holiday (subject to availability). We’ve compiled a suggested list of some of our most popular “linking” trips for 2017 – with departures separated by two days or less – to make it easy to find and book an extended Tauck holiday that’s perfect for you! For complete details and full itineraries, visit tauck.com/back-to-back (Revised Oct 2016)
