Spring is a wonderful time to visit Europe. Flowers begin to bloom, temperatures are mild, and crowds are a more digestible size. But don't just take it from us. Here's what past tour members had to say about our spring tours…
"We had a glorious time in Paris! We were lucky to have great weather also. The hotel was perfect — in just the right area and with a wonderful staff. Our guide was amazing as were all of the local guides. I've dreamed of traveling to Paris for years and it exceeded my expectations!”

"This is quite possibly my favorite RS tour yet! I knew almost nothing about Sicily other than what little I had time to learn before the tour began. I found the history, culture, people, food, art — everything! — about this beautiful island fascinating! Our guide was skilled at sharing its unique history both ancient and modern through bus talks, stories, and mythology. All of that plus the fabulous food and daily experiences made the place come alive for me."

"The tour route was a great balance of more urban and rural sights. The pace of the trip was perfect, with a good balance of free time and active time. I had wanted to gain a deeper understanding of the history as well as the culture, and that was achieved while having lots of fun. Going in the spring was a great surprise; I hadn't expected to see ruins blanketed by wildflowers!"

"The Borghese Gallery was the tour highlight for me. Francesca was a wonderful guide who really taught the group how to experience and question art. Another wow was the Trastevere food tour — delicious bites of food, a history lesson, and a very humorous guide!"
— Kathy in Chatham, ON — Best of Rome in 7 Days tour in March
"Eight days was just long enough to fall in love with Barcelona and Madrid! So much of the enjoyment of this trip was because of our wonderful guide. His passion and love of the country was contagious. We were lucky enough to be in Barcelona for a festival day as well. All of our local guides were informative and kept things interesting. It was a terrific trip."
— Dawn in Farmington, UT — Best of Barcelona & Madrid in 8 Days tour in February
"Everything about the tour was great. We chose February for Italy to avoid the crowds. The weather was fine and the lines were short. This was our fourth Rick Steves tour, and the thing that I noticed this time was how well-curated it was. Our guide, Tina, was fantastic, as were all of the local guides."
— Patti in Port Townsend, WA — Best of Venice, Florence & Rome in 10 Days tour in February
