Rick Steves Presents an Irreverent History of His Tour Program

[wanketta]

What a fantastic human being. Rick Steves is a gift to the world.

One of those videos you don't plan on watching but endup watching the whole thing.

Rick, we will never forget buying “Europe through the Back Door” in 1987 and following it exactly through Interlachen, Murren, Wengen, and Gimmelwald. Every one of your recommendations was followed and thoroughly enjoyed. You are the best! We also followed your advice through Rothenburg and Dinkelsbuhl and were so glad we did. You’re the same age as us, your hair styles match my husband’s, and how we wish we had known you then, in addition to your well-written words on paper. Thanks so much!

I always liked Rick, but after watching this I LOVE him!

This man has truly worked hard and with ingenuity to be rewarded with the success he has garnered. He is excellent in his profession.

[lynneebert]

Always thought Rick was a little bit silly but this video shows his true sense of humor, his incredible knowledge and the humanitarian side of his persona. What a wonderful video. He is an incredible person with well thought out political values and ethics.

Rick Steves : Rock star of the travel world but without the attitude.

this is the best lecture I have ever heard in my life

[vcom]

I attended one of his travel classes in 1981. I ended up travelling the world with a backpack for two years.

My father was a university prof, and I heard so much about backpacking in Europe. Seemed that everyone was doing it in the 60's and 70's. Now I know what it was really like!

[Denitakis]

I always liked Steve's show on TV, but now I really love and respect him. What a wonderful human being.

[rebeccagutierrez]

I think it was my watching the PBS station that featured Rick's show (while raising my kids) ignited my love for travel. Now I'm a widow and I'm enjoying Europe. Leaving to Portugal in 3 more weeks.

I've watched Rick Steves travel shows on PBS for many years; this lecture showcases a beautiful human being. Bravo and thank you for doing what you do, Mr. Steves.

[bryndaraether]

My husband and I have watched your PBS Shows for years. This talk helped me understand why you are so good at what you do!

[wesleygonzales]

Good ol' Rick Steves!!! I'm so proud of his undoubted influence of European travel on Americans. Proud to say that the few fellow Americans I meet on the road in Europe these days are smart, culturally sensitive and respectful, and I would attribute that to Rick's influence.

[debbief]

I found this by accident and before I knew it, I watched every minute! It was great! He is so funny and candid in his talks!

[RiftenWhiterun]

What a great presentation. Rick is such a late 70s nerd. Me too! I'm glad he is the best travel advisor for Americans.

[madhavyu]

What a legend. Watched his program during the 90's and 00's and now living in Europe fulltime.

[anneguting]

Long before travel blogs/vlogs came out, Rick Steves was, AND WILL ALWAYS BE the best Europe travel guide/documentarist ever. ❤

I'm a huge fan of Rick Steves & have been watching him for many years now. He's a true humanitarian & possesses a real love of the world & all of the people in it. He's a wonderful teacher & lecturer & really gets to the heart of many matters, truly opening our eyes, ears and hearts to our wider world & not only clinging, onto the one we grew up within. Thank you Rick Steve's, for your many years of wonderful service in the travel sector & for educating very openly, countless Americans and others abroad.
