Raves About Family Touring

Whether you're planning a trip with your teens, pre-teens, or young-adult kids, a Rick Steves tour can open up the world for them — and just about eliminate the stress for you! But don't take our word for it. Read what a few of our touring families have to say…


"I had an amazing experience on my Rick Steves tour! I got to see all the major highlights of each city we visited. I got a good balance of time with my family and with the tour group. I enjoyed every location we visited and always felt safe and comfortable. I would definitely recommend this tour to my friends because it is a great way to see Europe and make new friends along the way."

Family Europe: London to Florence in 13 Days tour


"I brought my 12-year-old granddaughter with me on this trip. It was her first trip to Europe. Even though I had been to all of these places before, the kid-themed activities made it different and even more fun. Our guides, Bea and Mine, were wonderful with the kids. There was a nice variety of activities and plenty of free time. We had a great time and my granddaughter learned a lot."

Family Europe: Amsterdam to Rome in 14 Days tour


"Having had an outstanding experience in 1995 with our first Rick Steves tour, many years and two children later, we signed up for the 14-day Best of Europe tour with high expectations. Well, expectations were met or exceeded! Our guide, Jennifer, was fabulous. She, driver Hilde, and the Rick Steves staff worked their magic to provide an exemplary learning experience. The itinerary was the perfect introduction for our teen children to learn about navigating Europe on their own someday."

"From the moment we met Gretchen, our tour guide, and the rest of the group on day one, the whole experience was fantastic. This is our second My Way tour, and it did not disappoint. My husband and I loved the convenience and independent camaraderie of the first tour so much that we brought our three kids (14, 24, and 27) and my parents this time. Having Gretchen provide great suggestions was perfect!"

"Because of our guide and the people on our tour, I will have outstanding memories for the rest of my life. We all got a long and enjoyed each other's company. We had teens as well as this old man of 79, but Dimitri was great and worked with everyone."
