Rick Steves the GOAT

[@johnnynice8158]

Love all your presentations, Rick! And, you are so handsome with a beard!

[@danahammele7439]

We went to Split, Croatia in March. I used Rick’s guide downloaded to my Kindle. In Munich airport, during our layover, I whatsapped his top guide and she was available and thankful for the business. Many people had canceled bc of unrest in Ukraine. I have traveled a lot during Covid and post Covid starting September 2021 when Portugal, Spain and France reopened. Things are a bit different but the Europeans were grateful to hear our accents. We got to do and see things we’d never have gotten to do, when it was going full throttle. Rick’s guides downloaded on our phones a big part of our success. Porto in September and the Camino. I will be using your guides again!

[@andrewmarks4640]

split in march is very cool....15 degrees ave? any tips on which neighbourhoods to stay? Varos?

[@danahammele7439]

@@andrewmarks4640 we stayed just outside of the Diocletian palace overlooking the Adriatic Sea. Our hotel balcony was sheltered so sunshine poured upon it and was very warm during the day but our walks were quite windy! We were there 2 nights before heading to Bosnia Herzegovina.

Thank you for another super interesting and informative video on travel and Europe. Thumbs up👍

Thank you for doing what you do!

[@darrellhornick7764]

At 4:30 you show and talk about your "Grid". I suggestion you show and tell about how you create and what's on your "Grid". I feel it would/could be useful to your viewers. So that they can use the same process.

Rickie? Nothing more than always! Great personality, culture and simpathy. Nice to meet you and all that I could profit and enjoy from your work. I wish you a nice time of retirement, if this is the case. God save Rick Steves.

Hey Steve, you can kiss the Blarney Stone. My good friend was there in April and sent me pics as she was there.

[@devjanichakraborty6204]

Mr.Rick Steves, We are feeling very nice when you share your travel experiences to various places,meeting people from different culture and lovely cuisine ! If you don't mind,i should certainly appreciate your aesthetic sense on having decorated the room of your house so tastefully,which we see in the backdrop ! Thank you so much ! 😃

[@jasonlove8733]

Steve, are ya a big fan of Kikkoman soy sauce? I ❤ it too. Never seen a t shirt with the logo ❤ cool beans❤❤🎉🎉

[@triciabyrne7761]

Rick is so great. After reading one part of one of his books I got the courage to use Uber Boat and even heavy rail when in London in May, 2022. Thank you, Rick. 💚🧡💛

[@fargosnow994]

And I thought I was the only person who heats up food with a blow dryer and hotel rooms.

[@melbaker9495]

Did the Venice, Florence, Rome tour in May and it was wonderful seeing those places again thru Rick's eyes! We did have two people who caught COVID during the tour one in Florence and one at the end while we were in Rome. The tour helped everyone out and gave refunds to those affected. We headed on to Munich and Berlin on our own, but I wish now we'd done it with a tour insteadl. Looking forward to my next Rick Steeves tour sometime after the credit cards are paid down! LOL. Hopefully France or Belgium.

[@INTUITIVENORSK2303]

Oh France & Belgium are so wonderful! The food scene. Yum! lol Enjoy your next trip & have fun.

[@CHBHoliday]

We were in Italy 11 May through 28th and had a great time. Having done our homework (thank you Rick Steves guide books) we visited some of our favorite places in Venice, Florence and Cinque Terre and added some new ones. We did Bologna - on purpose - and spent some wonderful time near Greve in Chianti on an agri-turismo estate with a wonderful restaurant. A highlight of our trip, which we would have missed had it not been for the Venice guide book, was the Frari Church in Venice which is amazing. Tremendous art "in situ". We had no problems resulting from COVID other that issues with an on-line COVID test service recommended by our airline that was a disaster. Fortunately we dodged that bullet. Thank you Rick Steves for a wonderful time in Italy.

[@stephanerichard6267]

I was in Madrid in Aug 2019. I didnt feel the sites were too crowded, and you get used to the heat, I learned to use the subway pretty quickly too.

[@vargasdude5324]

Love the Beatles poster Rick!

[@e-BikeLife]

Avebury! What a great place to start!

[@pdee5164]

I am assuming your baloney sandwich in Bologna was a Mortadella sandwich, they are not the same. The food in Bologna is fantastic and it's a great city!! I hope you added Bologna in your new "food" book!

[@MILADI]

dear Rick really good worked 💐👍👌💕

[@yaowsers77]

they lie about the lift at the duomo! there's one going up but not coming down. if you're afraid of heights or get vertigo, i'd skip it. coming down, it's a spiral staircase in increments of 3 or 4 steps and then a short landing. no hand rails. my legs were pretty shaky by the time i hit the ground floor. but the views were spectacular.

[@danielonn2002]

Thanks Rick we have a trip to London 9 night British Isles Cruise, A week in Paris, 8 nights in Prague and 12 nights in Tel Aviv. We are ready to get our passports out again! I have my Global Entry renewed! Its going to be a whirlwind trip!

[@garykembel8144]

Some terrific observations by a seasoned traveller. The second cities deserve much more attention. Venice is wonderful...but spend a couple of days in Padua for example.

[@kellydooling]

fun video - thanks! i look forward to the next season. a few comments: (1) loved mad max tours. my kids and i took their trip from bath to stonehenge, avebury, castle combe and bibury in 2016 and it was fabulous! (2) i don’t understand your emphasis on wearing a backpack as a day bag. i would never wear a backpack in athens or anywhere else due to pickpockets. instead, i recommend a crossbody bag/sling with anti-theft features. my pacsafe bags have never let me down.

[@e-BikeLife]

Each year, until COVID, we toured various countries in Europe and seldom do we visit the"must see" locations. We hardly ever fight crowds and are the happier for it.

[@RonCGooglePage]

Nice teaser Rick! Looking forward to the shows. Hope Hawaii wasn't the place that said no. : )

[@INTUITIVENORSK2303]

The Hawaiian Islands are so stunning & it's people, so welcoming & friendly! I loved it there & will head back in the near future.

My friend, who lectures all over the world, asks for extra pillows and makes up a comfy recliner in the bathtub, sits there with his laptop and types up his notes. Doesn't wake up his wife.

I'm 34 years old and I'm looking into doing a group tour next summer. Any suggestions for a group travel agency for someone at my age?

[@kursed34]

Strange, we didn't need to get tested to come back. We were also never asked for our CDC card.

[@GlobetrotterGranny]

No testing required to fly home now

[@franciscocolin2008]

Yup! but Canadian Customs are still tough on inspections. Nearly missed one connecting flight, but missed the return connecting flight.

Rick...it's not "fear of immigrants" ... I am an immigrant to America. We don't like illegal immigration. Plus, you talk about culture...and THEY (your left wing peeps) want to change THE VERY same culture you celebrate. so please, don't be a hypocrite, just to make money. Preserve the culture you are off which you have been making money

Ah, Rick...such a great world traveler, but forever trapped in the progressive political echo chamber. Great travel advice, but ignore the ignorant political comments. Eat the meat and spit out the bones. Rick: Tell me you didn't read the Florida bill without telling me you didn't read the Florida bill. You just embarrass yourself.

[@jillspeck6400]

Please stop with the political commentary. In the first place, you don’t know what you’re talking about. You’re merely parroting MSNBC’s talking points, which are factually inaccurate. Secondly, it’s bad business. Are you intentionally trying to offend HALF of your audience? Seriously. It’s annoying. Just stick to travel, please.

[@maengh82]

Half ??? You think half of Rick Steve’s audience are right wingers?? I doubt it. Btw, if you don’t like this show, stop watching. Stop telling others how to conduct their business

[@xyz-ns7ym]

[@sprezzatura8755]

Thank you Jill. Wouldn't it be great if there was a specific tour of Hungary highlighting how the country is actively incentivizing the formation of families and having children? We are in fact at the precipice of a catastrophic population decline, while America fritters away time arguing over toilet rights and other nonsense.

yeah when he said "dont say gay bill in florida" it was clear as day, hes not well connected to whats really going on. and thats okay, he doesnt have to be perfect about everything, but i will say his plee in 2019 to vote for Biden DID NOT age well.
