About Tauck

Once a bank teller, 27-year-old Arthur Tauck Sr. was fired for accidentally spilling a stack of coins down a chute. In turn, he invented a spill-proof coin tray and began traveling around New England trying to sell his new product to banks. As he became familiar with his routes, Tauck found that he enjoyed traveling -- from meeting new people to discovering new places -- and wanted to share his experiences with others.

So on July 12, 1925, Tauck led six paying passengers on a 1,000-mile, six-night road trip through the back roads of New England. For one all-inclusive price he would provide all the necessities. Guests would stay in the best hotels and see the top sights. When the customers were on their own, he would make his sales calls to local clients. Through dusty roads and scenic byways, Tauck entertained his guests with personal stories and lively commentary about the towns they passed through.

The next year, Tauck ran three more trips, and soon after he bought a tour bus. He would eventually acquire a small fleet of buses and expand his itineraries to include New York, Virginia, Nova Scotia and the Poconos as satisfied customers led to 75% repeat business and word spread favorably about his travel company. Tauck Tours was awarded the first Tour Broker License in the United States in 1935.

Tauck’s son, Arthur Tauck Jr., became president of the company in 1958. Under his leadership, Tauck Tours developed a global operation over the next several decades, offering a variety of trip styles in both domestic and international destinations. Today, Tauck offers enriching travel programs across seven continents through its six brands and more than 140 trips.

The Tauck Difference

The company is known for top-notch service and expertly crafted vacations. Some Tauck tours offer exclusive content through ongoing partnerships with BBC Earth and filmmaker Ken Burns.
