A Full Day of Reunion Parties for our "Touring Class of 2009" + "Test Drive a Tour Guide" Presentations

Rick Steves is hosting a day filled with reunion parties for this year's tour alums. If you traveled with us on a tour in 2009, you're invited!

Mark your calendar (and reserve your spot, below) for Saturday, January 16, when we'll gather at the Edmonds Conference Center, across the street from our Travel Center in downtown Edmonds, WA.

This is our most fun event of the year, with tour buddies arriving from all over the USA — and about 90 of our 100 tour guides flying in from all around the globe. Make a weekend of it! Arrive early and stay late. You'll have plenty of time to "test drive" a guide or two, attend your tour alum reunion party, and then enjoy lunch or dinner nearby with your favorite fellow travelers from the past year.

It's all free and fun — but space will be limited and registration is required — so sign up soon! This event is also a great excuse to get in touch with your tour buddies and plan your reunion visit together.

Tour Alum Reunion Parties

Rick Steves will be the host at all four of the day's reunion parties, where you can reconnect with your 2009 tour buddies over scrapbooks, snacks and drinks.

Sign up for your reunion party!

"Test Drive a Tour Guide" Slideshow Presentations

Since you'll be in town...join Rick and his tour guides before and after your party for some of the day's 20 one-hour slideshow presentations on Europe's top tour destinations for 2010. After each one you'll have plenty of time to chat with our guides. And you won't want to miss Rick's special talk on Saturday evening!
