Rick Steves' Europe Tours 101: Is a Rick Steves Tour Right for Me?

Rick Steves' Europe tours brim with evocative art, history, and food, but if there's one thing that makes our tours unforgettable, it's the people. In this Rick Steves' Europe Tours 101 session, tour guide Lisa Friend and tour program manager Robyn Stencil dissect the Rick Steves travel style, give behind-the-scenes glimpses into how our tours are designed, and paint a picture of a typical day on a Rick Steves tour. Along the way, we'll hear from our European vendors, tour alumni, and Rick to celebrate the people-to-people connections that make our tours dazzle and to help you determine if your next adventure might be on a Rick Steves tour. So grab a spritz to sip and a notepad to scribble on, and join us for a fun and informative evening!
The tour promotion mentioned in this video is valid until, Sept. 30, 2024.

Great info thanks

My husband and I did the Venice, Florence and Rome tour in 2022. It was wonderful! Great local guides and our main guide was wonderful. It was our anniversary, so we got the lead boat in our Venice gondola ride. In Rome, our guide told our local guide Franchesca that I was a journalist. When wee were in the Forum she showed us the first Roman news site. Placards were posted on a temple in the Forum with news from the empire and new laws past by the Senate. It was just another example of the way this company personalizes these tours and makes them so memorable. Can't wait to visit France in the coming years with Rick Steves Tours.

Yay! So glad you’re finally putting information out in video format!

I watched this when it premiered and just now booked my tour. This was great information and swayed me from planning an entirely independent trip to starting off with the RS tour before heading out on our own for the rest of our trip.

My husband and I just got back (2 days ago) from a Rick Steves tour of Switzerland and it was AMAZING! I am not a group tour enthusiast but these tours are wonderful! A great blend of structure and free time.

Thanks a lot for this kind of travel videos ! I like them very much as we get to learn so much about different countries, people and their culture ! Here is the opening line of the essay 'Of Travel ' by Francis Bacon.I quote " Travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education ; in the elder, a part of experience."😊

I know I’m focusing on the wrong thing, but those two France books in the background? Why the inconsistency? I like to display my books and it drives me crazy that they don’t match.

[@RickStevesTravelTalks]

All the new editions are switching to the new design you saw on the France books. It's a transition period.

[@devjanichakraborty6204]

Can a person from any part of the world join your group as a tourist ?
