Hello,

My family of four, (daughter 15, son 10-and sight impaired) are considering the TaucK Bridges Alpine Adventure tour to Switzerland, Austria and Germany. Has anyone done this trip and have any reviews? There are an abundance of options between, National Geographic, Adventures by Disney and Austin Lehman. The Tauck one seems to include the most activity so we are drawn to it. Yet, their website has only one review so we are nervous.
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!

Tauck is a very reputable and upscale tour company. I would not hesitate to book a trip with them.

IMHO website reviews for particular companies are very subjective and I never look at them.

Most people here plan their own trips so it's unlikely you can find a review on a particular tour here but you can do a search for Tauck and see that the company gets good feedback on this board.

Thank you Adrienne. My thoughts were similar in that the posted reviews on their website may not be too revealing. Still, it does contribute to a sense of comfort.
We are doing some of the travel on our own, but I am eager to have some help/support for part of it since we have family members with special needs.
thanks!

Friends took their two grandkids on Tauck's Bridges London to Paris and raved about the experience as did the kids.

That is great news. Thank you. That must mean that the pace was suitable to both age groups?

This type of trip is not dependent on the pace but on how fit you are - this is an extremely active trip. Have you read the itinerary? This is nothing like the London to Paris trip.

Yes, thank you. We are fit and an active family. The activity level is what attracted me. I was just hoping to absorb some culture simultaneously and hoping that there would be time for that too.
