My Tour Adventure!


Hi, my name is, Sarah! This is a site about my first trip to Europe. It never seemed like a big deal to me to go to Europe on my own and join up with a tour. When I got home and told people about my trip I was always surprised that they would usually say, "Oh I couldn't possibly go by myself."
And I'd always say,"But, I wasn't by myself, I was with a great group of people with a personal guide to Italy."

Here I am in Venice
Floating Down the Grand Canal


Italy is everything you've ever imagined it to be and tens times more! Discover Italy for yourself with a great tour company like Rick Steves' Europe. You really do feel like you're in the culture not just observing from the sidelines. This is the way to travel!

Varenna, Lake Como


My first trip to Europe, finally!! I've wanted to go all my life and I'm finally here! I looked into many tour companies and was always disappointed to see how much more a single person had to pay. Then I was watching one of Rick Steves' Europe travel shows and I thought I should check out his site. Sure enough I found his tours with no extra fees for singles*. It was destiny I'm sure of it!

Alpi di Siusi, Dolomites


I had such an amazing trip! The tour was everything I expected with so many extras and surprises along the way. It was everything I had hoped it would be and so much more. So look over my site to see for yourself. I hope the site inspires you to go on that trip you've always thought about.


I feel confident enough to travel on my own now, but if there's a Rick Steves tour in the country I'm going to, I'll be on that tour without a doubt.


The tour allows you so much more time to just enjoy your experience. You don't have to waste time looking for a hotel that doesn't blow your budget. The details are all considered and taken care of. One of my favorite things was breezing by long lines at museums as if I was VIP. Plus with the tour you've automatically made 25 new friends!

 

All photos on the site were taken by myself. Except of course for most of the pictures including myself, they were taken by various tour members.

* Today there is a single supplement fee for singles, but it is much lower than other tours I've looked at. As of May 2019 it is $775 for this tour.

Please Note!
The descriptions I've written were about my tour in 2007. The current tour may have differences in hotels and/or excursions.
