Leading tour operator Tauck is rolling out four brand-new land tours across Europe for 2026, aiming to take travelers deeper into the soul of each destination. The company, known for its guided luxury trips, will introduce immersive new itineraries in less-visited areas of Greece, Scotland, and Scandinavia—regions that are seeing particularly strong interest. Many of Tauck’s trips in these areas have already sold out for 2024 and 2025.
“At Tauck, we’ve spent 35 years exploring Europe along its scenic ‘Yellow Roads’—the lesser-traveled routes that reveal a destination’s true spirit,” said Jennifer Tombaugh, the company’s CEO. “Our new journeys continue that legacy, offering unhurried, personal experiences that open doors to new perspectives, stories, and unexpected moments of connection.”
With the additions, Tauck’s lineup of European land tours will grow to 53 options in 2026, including seven specially crafted for families under the Tauck Bridges program. The company is also expanding its collection of Small Group and Even Smaller Group trips, designed for more intimate experiences with group sizes averaging 24 and 15 guests, respectively.
Here’s a look at what’s coming:
Hidden Greece (from $8,990 per person, double occupancy) - Tauck’s 12-day Hidden Greece tour (a Small Group journey with an average of 24 travelers) takes guests well beyond the usual stops in Athens and the islands, offering a deeper look at northern Greece, the country’s rugged interior and the island of Crete. The itinerary features coastal Thessaloniki, the ancient tombs of Vergina, the dramatic cliffside monasteries of Meteora, and a wine tasting experience in the scenic Peloponnese. Travelers will also spend time along the pristine shores of Costa Navarino, a region rich with over 4,500 years of history. The trip concludes with a luxurious seaside stay at the Domes of Elounda, Autograph Collection on Crete.

It’s a well-rounded mix of cultural exploration and fun in the sun.
The Legends of Scotland(from $5,490 per person, triple occupancy) - Part of the 2026 Tauck Bridges lineup, this eight-day journey invites families to experience the magic of Scotland’s Highlands through interactive, tradition-rich activities.
