• FEATURED TOURS

Welcome to Austria, Czech Republic & Hungary

A long-ago world of fairy-tale castles, medieval cities and vineyard-covered hills awaits in the heart of "Old World Europe", as you discover a parade of opulent palaces, monasteries, and cathedrals that the Hasburg Empire left behind. The Imperial Apartments at the Hofburg and Schonbrunn Palace in Vienna... Prague Castle in the Czech capital... and Krumlov Castle, dating back to 1240 in the Bohemian town of Český Krumlov offer poignant perspectives of historical days gone by.

Prague, czech republic, prague... the "city of a hundred spires"....

Although today it's the capital of the modern and independent Czech Republic, Prague still retains much of its medieval character in its soaring cathedrals, like the magnificent Gothic Cathedral of St. Vitus… the historic architectural riches of Old Town, including the Powder Tower and the Astronomical Clock… … the Hradcany (Castle) district, home to the millennium-old Prague Castle complex… the famous 16th-century Charles Bridge over the Vltava River… poignant Jewish heritage sites including a centuries-old Jewish cemetery… and winding, cobblestoned, lantern-lit streets lined with cafés and restaurants serving up schnitzels, dumplings, strüdels, goulashes, and beloved Czech brews…

Budapest, Hungary

Two cities now rolled into one, sprawling across the danube.

Formerly the independent cities of Buda and Pest on opposite banks of the Danube until the 19th century, Hungary's capital – Budapest – is filled with architecture known for its grandeur and style… from the hilly Buda section, home to Castle Hill, Fisherman's Bastion, and Matthias Church… to the flatter Pest side of the river, encompassing patriotic Heroes' Square; the fashionable shopping street, Váci Utca; Hungary's magnificent Neo-Classical Parliament building along the river; tree-lined Andrássy Avenue, home to some of Europe's most elegant 19th-century mansions; the beautiful Hungarian State Opera House; the Hungarian Academy of Sciences; the city's famous baths, and much more.

Vienna, Austria

Vienna waits for you....

Once the heart of the Habsburgs' Austro-Hungarian empire that ruled much of Europe for centuries, Vienna has so much to offer that it's hard to know where to start! There are its magnificent boulevards, like the Ringstrasse… great museums (more than 100), including the Kunsthistorisches (Museum of Fine Arts)… Imperial wonders like Schönbrunn Palace, the Habsburgs' summer residence, and Hofburg Palace, another amazing Habsburg abode where the president of Austria lives today, and home to the Imperial Apartments of Empress Elisabeth ("Sisi")… medieval Vienna, including Neuer Markt, Ballgasse, Franziskanerplatz, Bäckerstrasse and Mozarthaus… the mosaic-roofed Stephansdom (St. Stephen's Cathedral)… the old Jewish Quarter and 19th-century Stadttempel, the city's only synagogue to survive WWII… and the historic Vienna Prater, one of the world's oldest amusement parks…

Tauck Exclusive – Imperial Evening at Palais Pallavicini

Our exclusive gala imperial evening at the private palais pallavicini in vienna.

Built in 1784, the sumptuous Palais Pallavicini is a grand private palace in the heart of Vienna whose magnificent Baroque touches transport you to another time. On many of our Danube river cruises, join us at the Palais for a gala evening featuring a reception, dinner and classical performances sure to sweep you off your feet... and let you experience firsthand how Europe's cultured classes lived and were entertained centuries ago. And film fans will note that the Palais and its elegant facade served as rogue Harry Lime's postwar Vienna apartment in the Cold War classic "The Third Man."

The Ritz-Carlton, Budapest

A blend of tradition and modern touches in the heart of budapest.

A short walk from St. Stephen's Basilica, Erzsébet Square and the River Danube, The Ritz-Carlton, Budapest places guests in the center of one of Europe's most beautiful cities. Set within a 19th century heritage building, the hotel presents modern luxury with a tint of tradition. Five-star amenities include Hungarian-inspired cuisine at Deák St. Kitchen, residential-style accommodations and a spa that draws from European expertise.

Tour overview.

Speaking of traditions... From castles to concerts to cafés, time-honored traditions from across the centuries are at the heart of cultural life in the historic cities and across the idyllic countryside you’ll explore on a two-week trip through the center of “old Europe.” And they’re often variations on a theme: Sipping coffee in a café on a sunny square surrounded by medieval buildings in Kraków or Budapest or Vienna or Prague... perhaps enjoying a pastry known to Hungarians as rétes, to Czechs as závin, to Austrians as strüdel... or listening to local musicians play melodies by Chopin in Warsaw, or Mozart in a private palace in Vienna...

What's Included

Reviews from travellers on this tour, a moving and memorable trip.

This was our 5th Tauck trip and it and Tauck delivered what was promised and expected. The Tour Director was excellent and knowledgeable as were all the local guides. The visits to the concentration camps are etched in our memories. Tauck did a wonderful job of balancing the heavy with some enjoyment like the private concert in Vienna. visiting Auschwitz-Birkenau

Pleasures of the unexpected

The Auschwitz and Birkenau sites were extremely emotional; the inhumanity was unimaginable but unfortunately quite real. The contrast of seeing today's Budapest, Vienna and Prague, with their beautiful buildings, synagogues and churches and charming streets, was wonderful. The hotel rooms were spectacular and the musical performances great. A tenor from the Budapest Opera Company sang arias to us on the steps inside the Opera House- a surprise after our tour. This led me and one of the other guests to see if opera tickets could be obtained for that night's performance. We were able to see 'Faust' and had aisle seats. The singers were fabulous and acoustics great!

Travel without a care in the world

Tauck made this trip so lovely and seamless for us. From the moment we arrived at the airport to the morning we departed for home, we were cared for and spoiled completely. Every little detail is handled so that vacationers can focus solely on the experience of the moment. It is hard to pin down one most memorable moment because there were so many. Private tours of opera houses, private concerts, private tours of famous art collections. All of it was incredible. We did love the dinner cruise on the Danube in Budapest.

A moving journey

This was a poignant, serious exploration of our ancestors' lives in Europe and the Holocaust and the current state of Jewish life there interspersed with outstanding cultural events. The group blended well and the tour director was excellent. A highly recommended trip. Kaddish at Terezin cemetery, walking through Auschwitz, a classical concert with ballet and opera in Vienna in a room that Mozart performed in, viewing Beethoven's original score for his fifth symphony at the Lobkowicz palace.

Extremely Intense Itinerary

Not exactly "Best vacation ever." + not likely "I'll be back." but don't read that as a negative. I signed up for this trip primarily to visit Jewish Vienna, former homeland to both of my parents + my grandparents. This was an intense experience, softened by luxurious Tauck quality accomodations. The sunset dinner cruise in Budapest was so lovely. Food was delicious. Loved the music. What a special evening!

Wonder Experiences in Central Europe

This trip to Warsaw, Krakow, Budapest, Vienna and Prague exceeded our expectations. It was great to visit all of these places. Glad we were able to take this trip with Tauck, you really know how to make a vacation memorable. Our tour director for all of his expertise and assistance! The hotels were unbelievable. We were surprised how much we liked Poland. Our favorite stop was Krakow/Auschwitz. The town is very charming. The visit to Auschwitz is emotional as expected. But we now have a deeper understanding.

Warsaw, Cracow, Budapest, Vienna & Prague.

Loved all the sights & information. Great local guides and the tour director was pleasant, helpful & very knowledgeable. Would have liked a longer stay in several cities, to allow the body to rest & recharge. It would make the trip long, but I feel it would be a worthwhile change. People were dropping out of tours to rest near the end of the trip Visiting Auschwitz. It was haunting and evocative.

Central Europe

Fascinating trip through five countries of Central Europe. Provided an excellent historical perspective. Trip was well organized with excellent guides at each stop. Touring Auschwitz and the dinner cruise in Budapest.

Warsaw Budapest Vienna Prague

This was my first trip with Tauck. It will not be my last. Our guide was so knowledgeable and pleasant all the time. He had vodka waiting for us after our visit to the concentration camps as he knew we needed that. Every day was a wonderful learning experience. Our guide took us on a tour of his neighborhood in Prague. That was special

Jewish Cultual Trip E. Europe

While very expensive, this trip exceeds all expectations! From hotels, food, guides, experiences, bus drivers, personal encounters, all are of high quality. Tauck goes overboard to meet all needs, including individual ones. My husband wanted to hunt for family graves in Vienna, and Tauck supplied both a guide and taxi for 3 hours(we found 3 of 4!) We had several: attending a Jewish/Polish wedding (arranged on our own),finding family graves and former homes; meeting with a Holocaust survivor in Prague, visiting Terezin/ reciting El Molei Rachamin/Kaddish in a former "synagogue", attending synagogue services in 3 different cities. It was such a "packed" trip, it was hard to process/appreciate.

Excellent tour company with quick service and support. We loved that there is 100% refund if you had to change anything as long as your within certain time limits. A very professional company with a huge selection of different tours and several dates to choose from.

The staff at TourHub were very responsive to all of my questions and more! They provided me with all the information I needed to book our trip in a very short period of time. I am very impressed with this company and looking forward to our tour in 2025!

Tour operator.

It's easy to see the world's sights. To stand in long lines, push through the crowds, and generally have the same standard-issue vacation as everyone else. But that's not good enough for us, and it's not good enough for you. We believe that travel should be easy. It should be fun. It should be worth your time and the price you paid. It should re-energize and transform. And above all else, it should be beyond the ordinary. Because how you see the world matters.

In 1882, Herman Tauck arrived in New York City from Germany in search of the American dream. His determination and values were passed on to his son, Arthur Tauck, who would realize that dream. With ingenuity and an innovative spirit, Arthur started Tauck Motor Tours, a travel company that would give birth to a new industry. The first tour, through the back roads of New England, was created by this 27-year-old in 1925. It embodied the same successful formula used by Tauck today: do the right thing. Craft a life-enriching travel experience; provide it at a single all-inclusive price; ensure there is great value for money; and rely on recommendations of satisfied customers to build a following and grow the business.

Two elements that did change over the next 90+ years – and three generations of Taucks – were the scope of destinations served and the variety of modes of travel used. Today Tauck delivers life-enriching travel experiences to every corner of the globe, incorporating small cruise ships, premium riverboats, trains, helicopters and more. What started as a New England motor coach tour company has truly evolved into an extraordinary global travel company. The fourth generation of Taucks is now involved in the company. While remarkable in any business, this seamless continuity across generations speaks to shared vision and values.

Throughout its history, the concept of “family” at Tauck has gone far beyond those sharing the surname to include hundreds of valued employees, and hundreds of thousands of loyal guests. The story of Tauck is the story of a unique American family company celebrating a passion for travel – a story that will continue to inspire generations to come.

Quality This indicates the overall quality of the tour operator's products.

Warsaw, Budapest, Vienna & Prague

Tour description:.

Speaking of traditions... From castles to concerts to cafés, time-honored traditions from across the centuries are at the heart of cultural life in the historic cities and across the idyllic countryside you'll explore on a two-week trip through the center of "old Europe." And they're often variations on a theme: Sipping coffee in a café on a sunny square surrounded by medieval buildings in Kraków or Budapest or Vienna or Prague... perhaps enjoying a pastry known to Hungarians as rétes, to Czechs as závin, to Austrians as strüdel... or listening to local musicians play melodies by Chopin in Warsaw, or Mozart in a private palace in Vienna...

According to the Czech Government, if you have a health insurance card or an internationally recognized credit card with health insurance included, it will generally be accepted as proof of insurance to enter the country."

Tauck offers insurance that is considered sufficient for this purpose. Please refer to the Tauck Travel Protection Product section above on this webpage for further details.

If you are a citizen of another country traveling internationally, you should contact an embassy or consulate of Poland, Hungary, Austria, Slovakia and the Czech Republic to determine what travel documentation is required.

Please note that longer stays abroad for any purpose may require additional travel documentation.

We recommend that you make at least two photocopies of all the travel documents that you bring with you. Include copies of the photo page of your passport that contains the date of issuance, the date of expiration and your citizenship. Secure one set of copies in the safe in your room while traveling and leave one set behind with someone at home who will assist you in the event your documents are misplaced, lost or stolen.

To facilitate Travel Requirements, destinations are increasingly utilizing online forms that require digital proof that you've successfully completed your submission (via an email, QR code, etc.) To ensure smooth travels and peace of mind, we strongly recommend all guests carry a personal smart phone and sign up for international data plans before traveling overseas.

TRAVELING WITH CHILDREN AS A GUARDIAN: If you are traveling as the guardian of a child/children, we strongly suggest that you carry a letter from both parents of the child authorizing emergency treatment in the event of illness or accident. For travel abroad, many foreign countries have specific entry requirements for children under 21 who are traveling internationally without BOTH parents. (These requirements are in response to the increased incidence of children being abducted and taken abroad.) PLEASE NOTE THAT TAUCK IS NOT RESPONSIBLE for the disruption of travel caused by improper documentation for children traveling without both parents.

Travel Protection Plan

Effective for plans purchased as of July 1, 2021:

Tauck's Guest Protection

Tauck's Guest Protection provides you with cancellation protection before your journey begins as well as insurance benefits while you are traveling. Guest Protection includes the following:

Cancellation Waiver – Provided by Tauck:

Under Tauck's Cancellation Fee Waiver you can cancel your tour for ANY REASON up to the day before departure and receive a money-back refund (except in Extreme Circumstances*) on the land tour cost, based on your original method of payment.

*Extreme Circumstances:  In the event of an act of God, war (whether declared or undeclared), terrorism, accident, natural disaster, outbreak of disease, or other event or circumstance beyond our control that contributes to or results in cancellation rates above our historical cancellation rates in the absence of such event or occurrence, Tauck reserves the right to issue a credit to you in lieu of a money-back refund, applicable to a future Tauck journey.

Travel Insurance Benefits – Underwritten by United States Fire Insurance Company.

• Trip Cancellation –  If you must cancel your tour due to a covered reason, the plan provides coverage for the amount you paid for your travel arrangements. Since the non-insurance cancellation waiver takes care of the land package cancellation fees already, this benefit reimburses the airfare cancellation charges up to the value of your original airfare purchase.
• Trip Interruption –  If you have to interrupt your tour for covered reasons, the plan provides reimbursement to catch up to your tour or return home.
• Travel Delay –  Provides reimbursement for missed, prepaid travel arrangements if you are delayed by a common carrier, natural disaster, unannounced strike, or other reasons as cited in the plan.
• Medical Expense –  Reimburses covered medical expenses incurred in the event you become injured or sick during your trip. 
• Baggage / Personal Effects Protection –  Provides reimbursement in the event your luggage or personal effects are, lost, stolen, damaged or delayed during your trip.
• Worldwide Emergency Assistance Services –  Provided by Carefree Travel Assistance; 24-hour emergency telephone assistance hotline for medical and travel related problems.

The cost of Tauck's Guest Protection is: $559  per person

This protection provides insurance coverage that applies only during the covered trip. You may have coverage from other sources that provides you with similar benefits but may be subject to different restrictions depending upon your other coverages. You may wish to compare the terms of this policy with your existing life, health, home and automobile policies. If you have any questions about your current coverage, call your insurer, insurance agent or broker.

This optional Guest Protection must be requested at time of booking and fee must be included with initial payment. Fees are based on costs as of July 1, 2021, and are subject to change. Details will be provided with written confirmation of your tour reservation. Guest Protection does not protect travel agent commissions. Reimbursements will be made according to original method of payment. The amount of any refund shall be reduced by any recoveries obtained by you from any third parties.

The Guest Protection plan waives cancellation fees outlined below, provided we are notified of cancellation before your tour departs. Tour cancellation fees are waived regardless of reason, without written notice, and Tauck will refund land tour cost.

To obtain your state-specific Certificate of Insurance that contains the complete terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions of the certificate, visit  affinitytravelcert.com/docs/TACGPPINTL .

If You Have To Cancel

If you cancel within 10 days of initial deposit Within the first 10 days after you place your initial deposit, you may cancel your reservation for any reason with no cancellation fees. If you cancel more than 10 days after initial deposit Regardless of reason, cancellations result in costly charges from our travel and hotel providers covering penalties and fees incurred by canceling confirmed bookings. These fees vary from tour to tour. Therefore, the following fees apply.

Cancellation Fees with Tauck's Guest Protection Plan:

Loss of Guest Protection fee, per person 

Cancellation Fees without Tauck's Guest Protection Plan :

90 days or more before departure = $600 per person

89-8 days before departure = $900 per person

7-1 days before departure = $1500 per person

Time of cancellation will be when notice is received in our Wilton Woods, CT office.

In the event of an unforeseen circumstance beyond our control, Tauck reserves the right to amend the cancellation terms outlined herein.

Note:  All Guests, regardless of residency, who book a Tauck journey have the option of purchasing the Cancellation Waiver provided by Tauck in the event they need to cancel their trip after making their reservations. Tauck's Guest Protection, which includes both the Cancellation Fee Waiver and the Travel Insurance Benefits and Assistance Services described above, is not available to residents of Puerto Rico.

Travel Requirements For This Tour

Air Information and Luggage Restrictions

AIRFARE: Airfare to and from this destination is not included in the journey cost. If purchasing your air elsewhere, it is very important to provide us with your confirmed arriving and departing flight information no later than 3 weeks before your arrival date. Flight information can be submitted to Tauck (or verified, if you've already provided it) in the My Account section of Tauck.com.

TAUCK AIRPORT TRANSFERS are included at the start and end of the journey between the airport and the Tauck hotel. Airport transfers are available for any pre tour or post tour hotel stays immediately consecutive to the tour, providing flight information is received in the Tauck office no later than three weeks in advance. Details on locating your transfer upon arrival to the tour start city will be included in your final documents.

AIRLINES and CHECKED LUGGAGE: Due to space limitations during your Tauck journey, we ask that you please limit your checked luggage to one average-size suitcase per person. Besides complying with the Tauck restriction noted above, you should also be sure to research and comply with all airline baggage restrictions relating to your flights to and from your Tauck journey. Airlines have become much more strict in enforcing size and weight limits in recent years, and are free to revise luggage policies without notice. Researching and complying with airline luggage restrictions is the responsibility of the guest, and Tauck cannot be held responsible for any costs or disruptions to travel caused by the failure to research and comply with airline policies. PLEASE NOTE that if you are booked on a tour that includes on-tour flights, the checked luggage weight restrictions for these flights may be lower than the weight restrictions for your international flights.

Checked Luggage – General

Due to space restrictions, we ask that you please limit your checked luggage to one suitcase per person weighing no more than 50 pounds (23 kg) and with overall dimensions (length + width + height) not exceeding 62 inches (158 cm).

Besides complying with the Tauck restriction noted above, you should also be sure to research and comply with all airline baggage restrictions relating to your flights to and from your Tauck journey. Airlines have become much more strict in enforcing size and weight limits in recent years, and luggage exceeding airline standards for size or weight may result in expensive overage fees or other consequences.

Airlines are free to revise luggage policies without notice, and certain airlines have different baggage allowances for different classes of service. Researching and complying with airline luggage restrictions is the responsibility of the guest, and Tauck cannot be held responsible for any costs or disruptions to travel caused by the failure to research and comply with airline policies.

Tauck luggage tags will be provided by your Tauck Director on Day 1 of your itinerary. Please do not attach a Tauck luggage tag to any carry-on items, as the Tauck tags designate luggage that is to be handled and transferred by ground operators and hotel staff during your journey.

Carry-on Luggage - General

Although oversize bags and wheeled, carry-on luggage are popular for airline travel, they are often not convenient or appropriate for motor coach travel or for many on-tour flights. Most modern sightseeing motor coaches offer limited space for numerous or larger items. Space under seats or in the overhead rack is typically small, and designed to accommodate items like coats, hats, purses, and small camera bags, etc.

For your day-to-day travel while on tour, we recommend that you limit your hand luggage to a small, soft-sided carry-on piece, and that you bring only those items you need handy during the day such as make-up, medications, cameras, film, etc. Items too large to fit under the motor coach seat or on the overhead rack must be stored in the luggage bays beneath the motor coach, and may be inaccessible during daytime travel.

Health, Safety and Mobility

HEALTH CONSIDERATIONS

Please check with your health insurance provider to determine whether you are covered while traveling. If you will not be covered under your current policy, we strongly suggest that you arrange for adequate coverage while on tour.

If you have a medical condition that might limit your participation in activities, please consult your physician for pre-departure health advice and notify us as soon as possible, if you have not already done so. We will advise your Tauck Director accordingly.

VACCINATIONS  

If you are a resident of the U.S. traveling internationally, no vaccinations are currently required for travel to Poland, Hungary, Austria, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. For complete vaccination and inoculation information, contact your physician, the public health service in your area, or the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.A. The Travelers' Health Section of the CDC operates a 24-hour "Travelers' Health Hotline" at 800-232-4636 (toll-free in the U.S.). You may also log on to the CDC website by clicking here .

If you are a resident of another country traveling internationally , please contact an embassy or consulate of Poland, Hungary, Austria, Slovakia and the Czech Republic to determine what vaccination(s) may be required for your travel.

SPECIAL DIETARY REQUESTS

The restaurants, hotels, caterers and numerous other partners we work with all do their best to accommodate special dietary requests from Tauck guests. However, given the diverse nature of those food providers (from small wineries to grand hotels to world-famous restaurants in more than 70 countries worldwide), some of our partners are better able than others to accommodate such requests. We therefore cannot guarantee that all dietary requests can be accommodated at every meal. Also, please note that where dietary requests can be accommodated, choices will frequently be limited.

  MOBILITY

To enjoy this tour, you should be in good health and able to walk reasonable distances, often over unpaved and uneven surfaces. Some of the most memorable sightseeing can only be accomplished on foot. The amount of walking you do, however, is at your discretion.

PLEASE NOTE:  We regret that this Tauck itinerary cannot accommodate wheelchairs or motorized scooters. Likewise, we regret that we're unable to provide individual assistance to guests with walking difficulties or other personal needs.  The responsibility of the Tauck Director who accompanies your trip is to ensure that the larger group enjoys a relaxing and informative journey, and he or she cannot be relied upon to provide ongoing individual assistance to any one guest.  Guests requiring such individualized assistance must be accompanied by an able-bodied companion who can provide it. While drinking water is generally safe at all our hotels, bottled water will be available wherever the local water is not fit to drink. We also provide bottled water on the motor coaches.

What To Pack

Bringing the right clothing for your trip is important – we've partnered with New Headings who provide an "easy-to-use, one-stop shop" for your Tauck travel needs, specifically selected for this trip. Click here to visit their site .

The weather in this region of Eastern Europe is temperate and unpredictable. Your journey is designed with leisure in mind. Dress for comfort and convenience with a wardrobe that is adaptable and allows for layering. Generally, during the day, casual, comfortable, cotton clothing is recommended. Cool weather at higher elevations or at night will require warmer, layered clothing.

In Europe, especially in finer restaurants, it is generally customary to dress somewhat formally. Slacks or a dress for women and a jacket for men are acceptable dining attire. It is advisable to avoid wearing jeans, sneakers or shorts for dinner. You may also wish to dress up a bit for the welcome reception and the farewell dinner, but by all means be comfortable.

You will find a hair dryer located in your guest room. Irons and ironing boards are available on request. Valet laundry and dry cleaning services are also available for a fee.

We recommend that you pack an adequate supply of your prescription medication in its original container to last through your entire journey, together with a copy of your doctor's prescription or a letter from your health-care provider on office stationery explaining that the medication has been prescribed for you, a list of the generic names of your medication, your travel documents and a change of clothing in your carry-on bag to avoid any inconvenience in the event that your flight or luggage is delayed.

Following is a list of recommended items to pack for your trip to Eastern Europe:

• Casual daytime wear – shorts, slacks, long and short-sleeved shirts
• An optional jacket and tie for men
• Casually elegant evening wear for ladies
• Sunglasses, sunscreen, hat
• A light sweater or jacket for higher elevations or a breezy night
• Binoculars (7x50 preferably)
• Insect repellent
• Camera, lenses, batteries, memory cards and chargers
• Lightweight, comfortable, sturdy walking shoes that have already been broken-in
• Travel alarm clock/cell phone with alarm function (many hotels do not have clocks in the rooms)
• Rain poncho and collapsible umbrella
• Reusable zipper-lock bags or other waterproof bags
• Daypack for camera equipment
• Sundries and toiletries that may be difficult to find en route
• Copies of your travel documents that should be secured in the safe in your hotel room while traveling
