Last summer — on an actual Best of Europe tour — we filmed an all-new edition of our Tour Experience DVD.
Watching this is the best way to see if the Rick Steves style of touring is right for you.
You'll get to know real tour members and tour guides as they experience the day-to-day events of their tour, and share their candid comments.
No actors. No script. Honest. Come ride along!
