whiskers9 Posted August 23, 2011 #26 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Torst (and others),If you think it would be helpful, my blog is at BudapesttoPrague.blogspot.com. Excuse the personal 'stuff' since I do this for family and friends, but I think it provides some of the detail you are looking for. Pictures are being added but not completed yet. I will post when my review is submitted but remember that it takes a few days to be reviewed and posted. Sheila - Thanks for posting your blog. Could you tell me how the trip to Teresin originated -- Did Tauck offer it or is this something you planned on your own? And what did you miss as far as the organized trip from Tauck the day of your side trip? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SheilaNC Posted August 25, 2011 Author #28 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Whiskers, We arranged a private tour (12 of us wanted to go) with the tour company used by Tauck for the day after our tour of Prague's Jewish section. We were staying over an extra day so did not miss any of the Tauck included tours. Tauck Directors did not have anything to do with our planning.

SheilaNC Posted August 25, 2011 Author #29 Share Posted August 25, 2011 photofoot, Our friends had wonderful things to say about their AMA tour. However, some of our included tours were 'extra' with AMA. They had no complaints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanciEA Posted August 25, 2011 #30 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Does anyone know if Tauck has bicycles on board any of their ships, or if they offer any biking excursions from their river boats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newlondon Posted August 25, 2011 #31 Share Posted August 25, 2011 They do have bicycles, but no tours. You're on your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leiter Posted February 15, 2012 #32 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Hi Shiela, I read your blog "From Budapest to Prague" and loved it. We are booked on this year's cruise also leaving on May 10th. I read about your trip to to Terasin (pardon the spelling if wrong) when you were in Prague. How did you make the arrangements for the tour? Did Tauck assist you or the hotel? My email address is Leiter@bellsouth.net. Love to chat. Jackie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheila, I am going this June on Tauck but on the Bridges tour. Can you give out the info on the tour company you used for we too are staying a couple days after the end of our cruise. Second, do you think an eleven year old will like the scenery and tours and how would the crew adjust? I have read they are wonderful to the kids but I still worry. Thanks for your help and a report back.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoshona2 Posted February 16, 2012 #35 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Hi Grand isle joe, This is not Host Sheila, but she and I share the same name and opinion of Tauck. Go to Tauck's website and hit on Travel Forums. There are people who have posted about the Bridge tours there. The river boat crew is wonderful! You can ask your questions there. We are about to take our second River Cruise with Tauck and look forward to returning to them after a disappointing river cruise on another line last September. Sheila M.

Leiter Posted February 17, 2012 #36 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Oops, sorry I didn't see your response to Whiskers, Shiela. So if I understand you correctly, you made arrangements with the guide the day before. That's a great idea. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
