Incredibly Enjoyable

Having visited some of the places Rick highlights here, I had to smile and revisit them with his words. You can hear the delight and down to earthedness while he tells a bit about his love of Europe. Seems Rick likes to get tipsy and naked in a lot of countries!!! I can respect that!!!

For the love of Rick Steve’s

What a great book that was, I have always cherished his television series but this book just topped it off. Hope you do several more books if you can. Everyone can benefit from your experiences and knowledge of traveling.

My most enjoyable travels experience in 2 years

This was almost as good as being able to travel again. It makes you feel like you are there and with numerous insights into my previous trips. Thank you, Rick Steves I needed that.

Nice collection of stories

This was my first Rick Steves book, and it was quite enjoyable. I liked the stories he shared, and he gave some thought provoking commentary on world travel.

Very good

Not bad at all , I like it . I recommend to anyone. The book was so good

Makes me want to get back out there

For big Rick fans, you are likely to have heard many of the anecdotes throughout the book. Much is a repeat of travel talks and shows.
That being said, I can listen to Rick talk about Europe time and time again. It never really gets old.
This came out at the right time. I needed it.
Keep on travelin’

Makes me want to travel

Rick has such a wonderful collection of memories and stories from his travels. Listening to his audiobook has me wanting to book a trip ASAP to experience Europe for myself. Highly recommend this audiobook!

Virtual travel at its best

Rick Steves has a great turn of phrase and made me feel I was there seeing the people & sights and enjoying the food and drink. The only disappointment is how he describes the objectification of women - and indeed, in the case of Italian men groping and kissing women tourists, sexual assault- as harmless amusement. It may be their culture, but that doesn’t make it less offensive and harmful to women.

Very authentic and accurate

I’m Dutch and have traveled all over the world both for work and pleasure. Yes, the world would be a better place if people traveled like Rick and the way I did it. Meeting local people, listening and experiencing their culture and making lifelong friends. Rick has a gift of telling his stories with passion, truth and enthusiasm. Amazing job! Thank you Rick!

Rick Steves has a great life traveling

I love Rick Steve’s philosophy of travel and have been on several of his tours and have read his books and listened to many audio tours of museums and walks. You can tell he loves what he does. You can’t help but want to go with him enthusiastically!!
