Rick Steves' Europe Tours

Don't want to tackle Europe on your own? Chat with our staff to learn about our 50+ tour itineraries — each with small groups, great destinations, and outstanding guides.

About our tours...

Independent travel is full of thrills, but for those who prefer to let us do the work for them, we offer fully-guided European tours for lively people with upbeat attitudes. You'll travel with a small group of no more than 28 (but in a big, spacious bus); enjoy meaningful experiences and genuine people-to-people connections; and be led by a great guide — trained by Rick himself — who brings Europe's history and culture to life.

Want a first-person account of what our tours are like? Sit down with one of our tour program experts or speak with our Travel Center staff. We've each guided or experienced many of our tours, and would love to share more about our travel style, destinations, and what makes our itineraries so great.

Can't make it in person?

No worries! All our gear, books, and tours are available online — and you can contact our Customer Experience team (Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT) to get your trip and tour questions answered.

We hope to see (or hear) from you soon…and keep on travelin'!
