Rick Steves Profiled on 60 Minutes
Wednesday, May 25

Rick and the entire 60 Minutes crew.

Rick was featured on CBS's "60 Minutes" on Wednesday, May 25th. The crew filmed at our Edmonds office last fall, then followed him to Amsterdam and Germany on a whirlwind guidebook research trip.

Here's what CBS had to say about the feature:

For millions of Americans, planning a vacation in Europe means following, literally, in the footsteps of one man. Rick Steves is a backpacker who has become a business tycoon by writing about life on the road. His 30 travel guides sell about half a million copies a year, and legions of travelers use his guidebooks like bibles — so many so that a review from Rick (as he's widely known) can make or break a tourist attraction from Barcelona to Budapest. On the road about four months a year, Rick Steves' mission is not only to teach Americans how to travel smartly, but how to immerse themselves into other cultures.
