Travelling With Rick Steves' Tours
Life is busy. As much as I wish I had more time, I have fallen prey to the American standard of working too much. I teach college mathematics and I devote every ounce of my time to helping my students be successful during the school year. Come May, I'm ready to get out of Central Illinois and see the World.
Travelling with Rick Steves' Tours gives me the opportunity to do and see the things that I want without all the extra planning. There is still plenty of free time to explore on your own, but you don't have to plan the logistics of where to sleep and how to get from one place to another. I also have not elevated to wanting to rent cars in Europe. |
The things I love the most about a Rick Steves' Tour, and why I keep coming back are these:
Each group is small - about 25 people - and they all really love travelling and learning. I have learned so much about my travel partners and boy, do some of them ask great questions! I love staying in small, family run hotels and B&B's. Every place makes you feel so welcome and are so helpful with anything we may need. It all feels so personal. I feel that on each tour that I have taken, I've really been able to get a sense of the culture of the area. We aren't just being taken from place to place, but really shown the area by guides that LOVE it. |

The Adventure Awaits!
This trip is complied into three parts. We began with a little pre-tour visit to London and an extra day in Edinburgh. We then joined the tour and worked our way through Scotland. Finally, we ended with an extra day in Edinburgh after the tour.
I hope that you enjoy this scrapbook of our trip. Keep on Travellin'! |
