"We loved the special events that would never have happened had we not been on the Rick Steves tour. From a special concert at a Jewish restaurant to a visit to a school in Budapest, along with lunch, we enjoyed getting to know the locals."

— Amy, Central Europe: Prague to Slovenia tour


"St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague was beautiful, particularly the Alphonse Mucha stained-glass window. We were there in the morning, and the light streaming through windows on the opposite side caused beautiful reflections that I captured in photos."

— Candace, Best of Prague & Budapest tour

— Myron, Best of Poland tour


"I loved the Art Nouveau in Prague, the Planty in Kraków, the thermal baths in Budapest, the waterfalls at the Plitvice Lakes, the hotel on Island Katarina, Rovinj, and Lake Bled, which truly earns the adjective 'awesome'!"

"There were so many 'wow' moments! One was making pierogis in a local person's home — we learned about the local culture, and the pierogis were delicious. Another was enjoying a drink and watching the sunset from the roof of our hotel in Warsaw."

— Diane, Best of Poland tour
