Highlights

  • Gaudi's modern cathedral, La Sagrada Familia, is like no other building you've ever seen. Still under construction after over 130 years, this Gothic masterpiece embodies Barcelona's artistic and progressive heart.
  • Now one of the world's most artistic and exciting cities, Berlin has a complex history. See remaining fragments of the famous wall that once divided the city in half.

What travelers are saying

"We joined the Intrepid “Real Italy Food Tour” and enjoyed it thoroughly. Our tour guide, Micol, was very knowledgeable and provided us with lots of good information. It seems Micol knew many of the staff of the venues we visited, including the pasta making class we attended. Our group of 11 travelers was extremely compatible, which greatly added to the fun and enjoyment."

What travelers are saying

"Sad to see a once good tour company stumble and fall into mediocrity. That’s Tauck post-Covid. My May 2023 tour of Normandy, Brittany and the Loire Valley was done on the cheap by Tauck, yet cost me thousands of dollars extra as a solo traveler on a special small-group tour. 

5-star hotels switched to 3 and 4 (without any compensation or explanation)… many more meals “on your own”… lots of “self-guided” tours of museums and chateaux and castles we knew nothing about… airline quality “rubber chicken” dinners, not in hotel restaurants, but in sad and isolated business convention spaces… poorly-trained newer Tour Directors (like the one on this tour) with limited experience traveling outside her tiny Canadian village or dealing with people from diverse backgrounds. She even confessed that this was a second gig job that took her away from her own business back home! You get what Tauck pays for, but unfortunately, not what YOU pay for. 

Speaking to a “Guest Relations” agent was comically pointless. She tried to make everything my fault, which I now understand is par for the course with the “new” post-Covid Tauck. Please reconsider spending huge amounts of your hard-earned money on a tour company that has lost its way and no longer delivers."

Netherlands Tour Selection Trips

  • For a small country, there’s a lot to pack in on your trip to The Netherlands! Be sure to allow enough time to explore areas outside of Amsterdam. You’ll find the rolling hills of Limburg a world away from the bustle of the country’s capital.
  • Cycling is the perfect way to explore this corner of Europe. The Netherlands is famously flat and cycle ways cover the whole country. It’s also very easy to put your bike on a train if you feel you need a break! 
  • Slow down to appreciate the friendliness and hospitality of the Dutch. While Amsterdam is not famous for it, Dutch culture can be seen at its best away from the big towns.
  • With miles and miles of navigable waterways, river cruises can be a wonderful way to start discovering this country.
  • Take time to relax with a good Dutch beer - there are many more options than Heineken, you can even visit Amsterdam’s own windmill and brewery for a local taste.
