THANK YOU FOR VISITING TAUCKTRAVELTRUTH.COM

WHAT EXACTLY IS THE PURPOSE OF TAUCKTRAVELTRUTH? WHY SHOULDN’T I JUST GO DIRECTLY TO THE TAUCK WEBSITE?

• Taucktraveltruth is designed to allow intelligent travel consumers to easily view the entire inventory of Tauck Programs Worldwide. You won’t find any “sales speak” or “book this second” manipulation.
• Ours is meant to be a short guide to what Tauck offers and the opportunity to discuss Tauck’s options with one of Tauck’s highest-producing travel advisors on a “no-cost” basis.
• Tauck has a wonderful website of its own. We would never discourage you from visiting the Tauck site. Many of those who contact us are past Tauck guests or are already sold on the idea of traveling with Tauck.
• Our site offers a complete inventory with comments about aspects of each program we think are important. You then have the option of speaking with us personally so we can take care of your booking and advocacy needs. You will always receive our services on a complimentary basis.
• We are not a call center – you will not be dealing with a commissioned salesperson in a cubicle. You might want to try one sample call just to see how we might work together.

SO WHO ARE WE AND WHY SHOULD YOU BELIEVE A WORD WE SAY?

• Eight travel advisors in the United States have been identified by Conde Nast Traveler as “Travel Superstars”. Two of them work at our firm. One of them will be your personal Tauck planner and advocate.
• We have won Tauck’s coveted “Gold Award” based on our Top Producer status.
• Churchill & Turen Ltd. is one of the nation’s most respected escorted tour and luxury cruise firms. We have been representing Tauck for 37 years.
• We have won more “Best Travel Specialists” Awards than any other travel firm in the United States. (source: Conde Nast Traveler)
• We charge no fees of any kind when booking Tauck. You receive our services on a complimentary basis.
• Tauck has enlisted our services to assist with the updating of some critical components of their European tour offerings. We have worked with Tauck directly on tour planning and were featured in Tauck’s Europe brochure.
• We are privileged members of the Virtuoso “By Invitation Only” group of the world’s most respected travel advisor firms. We have been named the top producers in the $27 Billion Worldwide Virtuoso Group four times!
• We don’t play online pricing games designed to insult your intelligence. Tauck is a highly ethical company. All Tauck guests receive exactly the same
• pricing. If they didn’t, Tauck could never attract the highest quality guides for their programs worldwide. Different pricing would cause chaos.
• We return 100% of all legitimate offers and incentives to every Tauck guest. There are several mega-online travel agency call centers that would have you believe otherwise. We are happy to discuss. We are pleased to place our lowest legitimate price guarantee in writing. It applies to every guest on every single worldwide Tauck Program.
• We do not employ travel agents, outside salespeople, or any commission-based salespeople of any kind. We do not “sell” travel. We try to always operate on a “Fiduciary” basis with our clients – we always place the needs of our clients ahead of any financial considerations.

WHAT ABOUT PRICE? HOW DO YOU KNOW WE WILL BE GETTING THE BEST PRICES ON OUR TAUCK BOOKING?

• It starts with a simple question: Do you really believe that the Tauck family and Management Team would really go to five different travel agencies or online sites and give them all different pricing as well as pricing that “beats” Tauck’s clearly stated pricing on their website and in their brochures?
• Of course not. Imagine the havoc that would cause as guests on a Tauck tour discovered that Tauck pricing is meaningless and that there were thirty different prices paid by tour members. It just never happens. Tauck, along with the vast majority of other five-star travel operators, maintains pricing integrity. Everyone receives exactly the same price.
• So are we telling you that Churchill & Turen Ltd. does not have better pricing than the so-called “affordable” or “lowest price guarantee” call centers on the internet? Of course not. Our pricing is fixed by Tauck – just like everyone else’s. The difference is what kind of advice, advocacy, and truly honest counseling are you going to receive from an online booking site?
• At our firm you will be working with one of an award-winning travel consultant with more than 30 years of Tauck experience. You will work
• directly with one of our owners. Our assistance and advice throughout the booking process will be offered to you on a complimentary basis.

OUR SITE IS AD-FREE – HYPE-FREE AND YOU CANNOT BOOK ANYTHING ON THIS SITE. THERE ARE NO ONLINE FORMS TO FILL OUT.

IF YOU FEEL THAT WORKING WITH US ON A COMPLIMENTARY BASIS MIGHT BE A GOOD FIT, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT US AT 630-717-7777 OR RTUREN@TRAVELTRUTH.COM

As with any travel entity you might encounter on the internet, we urge you to check us and our credentials out carefully. Please verify that we are who we say we are.
