Just finished a Rick Steves tour of Ireland. It was outstanding! Stephen McPhilemy was our guide, and he is brilliant in that role. Smart, funny, cool, and exceptionally-knowledgeable. Having toured Europe and Asia on my own, I was somewhat skeptical about joining a tour, but I'll definitely try additional Rick Steves tours in the future!

7:13 when we went to Paris our hotel was right there (rue cler) and we even ate at that cafe du marche lol!

[@namcat53]

Our European Rick Steve's tours were THE BEST! Our guides were THE BEST! We all loved every minute, were richly rewarded, had great tour mates, learned so much about how to be a smart, good, kind, respectful tourist and did NOT want to leave everyone; we cried at the end because we were now a family of good friends. We did and saw things you'd never be able to unless you lived there for 30 years and travelled everywhere. You all sign a NO GROUCH clause and it works. Our guides and drivers were brilliant, skilled and hilarious. What a blast! Thanks Rick! Thanks Martin, Roy and Esther! We love you! Bon Voyage! Ciao!

what impact would you say the COVID situation had on your tour .... I want very badly to go on one, but have these concerns of restrictions, etc...

This is a great advert for your tours, as it gives a good sense of what people can expect.

[@RovingRoy]

Didn't these tours used to have the tagline "NO GRUMPS"? Why was there such a tagline? Do grumpy people like to take tours, too?

[@adamsmith4195]

I want to be a Rick Steves bus driver.

Rome Venice tour from Los Angeles, including airfaire, & hotel, I would love that for 2 persons.

I want to go right now :) nice video!

[@manishkrisstanwar]

Dear Rick greetings from India. I also work as a Tour Guide. Please make a series In India too and Bring tourists In India also wish to work with you together 😊🙏🏻

[@SidekickSam24]

Wow, that green pizzeria behind him in the very beginning of the video...looks very much like the one I walked by when I was there. A group of Poles started singing "Sto lat" (happy birthday) as our group was walking by. I was able to sing along since I've studied some Polish. My friends were pretty surprised.

[@melbaker9495]

Several years ago we went on the Venice, Florence and Rome tour and it was wonderful! We went to Germany on our own for another week after tge orgnaized tour and I was aware of how much we were missing in Munich and Berlin.

[@Judi7Caroler]

I'm looking forward to traveling on one of your tours.

[@kenlee1416]

Gosh. How do folks bring just 1 piece of luggage and a small backpack when on a 13-15 day trip? Won't you want to buy goods (snack foods, candy, some souvenirs, books sold at museums etc) from each place/country visited to bring home? Not to mention to keep camera and equipment? I arrive in a place with 2 pieces of luggage almost half empty and, leave with both full. Visit supermarkets/mini-grocers/markets and you are bound to find tasty or 'mysterious' foods that you would want to slowly taste (or eat some more) when back home. Yes. I'd rather lug around 2 fairly heavy bags filled with goodies, than not buying stuff and regretting it after the trip... :)

[@mancunian63]

As an international traveler myself, I would say that FedEx and UPS are your friends when traveling light, but wanting the odd momento. In fact, many places will ship to your home for you, knowing you don’t want to travel around with it and they don’t want to lose the sale. As always, pay with a good credit card, just in case your goods never find their way home! We did this exact thing with some Waterford Crystal and Wedgwood pottery and had no problems at all. Just a thought.

[@evansquilt]

Very simple: be prepared to wash your clothes, especially your underwear, and have heavy items such as books shipped to your home. I've never taken one of Rick's tours but I've traveled solo usng his guidebooks twice, and packing light is surprisingly easy and enjoyable.

[@namcat53]

You can do it, it's easy and you'll be MUCH happier! It will free you up to be able to enjoy your precious travel time by being more mobile and efficient. It works every time!

[@ruvinibandara4482]

Good luck to all your future endeavours... I enjoy watching your videos....

[@TWOCOWS1]

i remember rick steves when he was thin, young and nimble. on one trip, he taught people how to wash their underwear in the hote's sink and let dry overnight for the next day's use in order to travel light! TOTALLY FAB. oh how time flies and we all change

[@danielonn2002]

Fly in a few days before a tour to get over jetlag and stay on a few days after.

Does these tours accept folks in wheelchairs

[@TWOCOWS1]

wheelchairs?? come on. God placed limitations on you for reason. take advantage of it by expanding your mind and your heart, rather than galavanting around the foreign parts!

[@davidvilchez2209]

Must be nice to have 5 grand to spend on a guided tour. I mean, I would do it if I had it, dont get me wrong, but for now, until I'm older, I'll stick with solo/budget traveling. Can still have just a good time, but I love Rick Steve's content. I wish there were more on KZbin

[@heatcheck3]

Love your shows but please keep politics out of them. I do not go to tour guides for policy advice.

[@evansquilt]

*Life* is political. That includes travel, especially if you're going to go to a place like Europe where "socialism" isn't a dirty word, public policy is aimed at having healthy, happy citizens instead of ultra-rich families oppressing the proles, and the wealthy pay their fair share of society's costs so everyone benefits.

Maybe, Joseph, you should just stay home🇺🇸! (A red state, methinks!) Me also thinks you don’t get Rick. He’s a class act and a humanitarian.

[@waynechinander7771]

Before I selected a 2-week tour of Italy I reviewed many packages and selected Gate ! instead of Rick Steves because I did not want to drag my luggage everywhere. Gate 1 ALWAYS provided porters to move my luggage from airport or bus stop to my hotel. When I saw (from Rick Steves Italy tours) that I (70+ age) would have to drag, lift, lug my luggage across town and up and down (over bridges in Venice) was a daunting prospect, a lack of service, and at a higher cost, was unreasonable.
