Whichever journey you choose, you and your travel companions will enjoy exclusive travel experiences and in-depth sightseeing.

United States

Stay inside-the-park in the national parks of Western USA

Experience the great national parks of the West from dawn to dusk exploring from sought-after, classic national park lodges (several on the National Register of Historic Places) inside the hearts of Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Zion, Yosemite, Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks, often sold out a year in advance.

Europe

Explore the treasures of the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel... without the crowds

The Vatican Museums display classical and religious works of art collected throughout the centuries. Combined with the Sistine Chapel, they're visited by around six million people a year, ranking among the most-visited art museums in the world. On your exclusive, after-hours, guided visit, your group can explore the Candelabra Gallery, the Map Gallery, the Tapestries, and the Sistine Chapel… all without the usual crowds. So you'll be able to take your time to contemplate the inspirational treasures before you – including the spectacular biblical frescoes on the ceiling, which took Michelangelo four years to paint, standing on a scaffold... and changed the course of western art.

Canada

Private tour and dinner in Halifax, Nova Scotia

Enjoy a private tour and dinner at the star-shaped Halifax Citadel National Historic Site, commemorating Halifax's role as a key naval station in the British Empire and 300 years of tradition; the location was strategically chosen due to its panoramic view of Halifax Harbour.

Africa, Asia, South America, Australia, Middle East

Africa

Ballooning over the Masai Mara

Your private departure group is up before dawn to board a private hot air balloon for a sunset soar over the savanna of Masai Mara National Reserve in southern Kenya... and a birds-eye view of vast herds of animals like lions, cheetahs, zebras, giraffes and elephants as they start their day in the wilderness... then touch down for your a champagne breakfast in the bush!

Tauck Bridges Family Vacations

Alaska

Pan for gold in Alaska

Just you, your friends and family get an authentic, hands-on opportunity to relive Alaska's historic Gold Rush at Crow Creek Gold Mine. Established in 1896, Crow Creek Mine is one of Alaska's most renowned hydraulic gold mining operations. Meet a prospector, work with gold pans, shovels, and buckets as you pan for gold and learn about the mine and the arts of gold panning and platinum prospecting – and celebrate with a barbecue lunch.
