Tour Guide Radio

After producing a weekly public radio show for five years, I realized we had a treasure trove of interviews of great value to travelers planning their trips. Unfortunately, the interviews were difficult to find in the hour-long shows. It has been my dream to deconstruct the programs and organize each interview by European destination. "Tour Guide Radio" is a country by country directory of interviews featuring many of the great scholars and teachers who guide our tour groups around Europe. Whether you're heading off on your own or taking one of our guided bus tours, it's my hope that "Tour Guide Radio" will help you enjoy the richest and most meaningful travel experience possible.

Happy travels. — Rick Steves
