Cape Cod, The Islands and Newport

The trip was conducted flawlessly by our tour director. Using a bus, ferries, both high speed and regular, small planes and boats for whale watching and a harbor tour took tremendous coordination. Nantucket, Chatham and Newport were great stops. Plimoth was a great learning experience. Would love to return with grandchildren. Whale watching were we saw 10 whales! Chatham was charming and our stay there was highlighted by a scrumptious lobster dinner. Prior to dinner we were surprised by the "Chatham Acapella Boys Club", who enchanted the group with their talent. You need to actually see our Tauck Director's lobster apron to believe it!

We had a great tour with Tauck. Met some wonderful people from all over the world. Our tour guide was fantastic, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. One traveler in our group was taking his 32nd Tauck tour. Speaks volumes for the company. Whale watching off Provincetown. One whale breached about 25 times for us. Great show. And of course the lobster feast Tauck provided in Edgartown.

We had a great small group tour with Tauck. This was our first tour with Tauck and we really didn’t know what to expect. We were pleasantly surprised by the entire experience. The tour director was superb - knowledgable, fun and attentive. The driver was outstanding. The other guests were nice and we mixed well. The whale watching was interesting but a little slow, so the most memorable moment for us was visiting the John Adams home in Quincy, Mass. and getting a glimpse into the lives of people in the early 1800’s.

This was a great trip. We traveled by land, sea, and air. Had never been to that part of the country and was very impressed with the quaint villages, pretty homes and flowers. I guess whale watching. We saw a lot of them and got a lot of pictures.

Excellent tour. Great overview of all parts of Cape Cod. We liked the smaller group. Tour restaurants were especially good. Best tour guide and driver we have had. Our Tauck Director was very informative, funny and professional. Our motor coach driver was pleasant and funny, too. We appreciated the extra touches provided to help us celebrate our honeymoon.

Trip: Days 2 & 3 not great, but trip became excellent starting with the flight to Nantucket. Newport & Adams Home were super. Four times on the water, neat. Food: Menu options excellent. Fine food throughout. Rooms: Weakest point. No views. Faced parking lot & pool 3 times. Worst: Harbor View. Room & hallways literally stunk. Our 10th Tauck. Nantucket & Newport tours.

a good trip, saw everything that was advertised, bus rotation was good, motels good or as good as could be - historical, food real good, short time in buses, bathroom stops real good. Host good-knowledgable-bus driver real good. the handling of baggage was outstanding. Was kept well informed. Airplane from Vineyard to Nantucket real good. Just about everything on the islands particularly the Vineyard.

Living near Asheville NC and the Biltmore Estate, I was really interested in seeing the homes that some of the other Vanderbilts had built in Newport. The Breakers was included as part of the tour but there was plenty of time to see Marble House on our own which we did. Martha's Vineyard was also very interesting. Thank God Obama wasn't there! The two homes my sister and I saw in Newport. We met such lovely people on our tour but then we always do. It was my sister's first Tauck tour but I don't think it will be her last

We were somewhat disappointed with aspects of the tour. Initially it took me 2 calls to reach the person assigned to pick us up at the airport making us even later to dinner. The Harbor View in Edgartown was inhabitable. We changed rooms due to an ant invasion, also having ants in the next room and a toilet that was not working this place may have Not a memorable moment (from above) Missed 2 excursions due to the weather and the tour included way too much time for shopping. Very disappointed! Our Tauck Director and driver were excellent. The visit to the Breakers home in Newport was excellent. We would recommend Tauck to friends but definitely not this tour.

Amazing trip. Outstanding tour director and wonderful driver. Food was highest quality. The lodging facilities were wonderful with exception of Harbor View Hotel on MV. Harbor View food was extremely good with exceptional service but our room near the pool was very sub-par and definitely not Tauck quality and hurt star rating Whale watching trip, Views from small plane, harbor tour in Newport, and beautiful lighthouses. Beautiful trip except experience with Harbor View Hotel.
