Does anyone know if travel agents receive a discount from Tauck Tours? I'm not sure if I should book direct or go with a TA. Thanks for your help.

travel agents sell you Tauck Tours for the same price that Tauck will sell directly to YOU...

Same price-

Travel agents do get a commission, but the tour costs you the same as listed in the brochure and worth every penny!!! We have been on seven and I doubt we will ever use any other tour company.

You can get a 10% discount on Tauck Tours if you book through Pavlus Travel. Their website is www.cheapertravel.com and they discount Tauck and other tour companies. I recently went on a Tauck Tour that I booked through Pavlus and my parents have used them too. I recommend them highly and it was nice to get the discount!

Travel Agents get paid by the cruiseline, tour company, airlines, etc. to sell their products for them.
So you don't pay for it, the companies represented do!
