I have taken several Rick Steves tours and have enjoyed them very much. Our first was the full Europe. Buses are only half full and we found the other travel participants well educated and interesting. It is a wonderful first trip. Go to his website and you can read different travelogues.

Tours for 2002 are published around August 1, 2001. Sign up. For our second trip to Scandinavia, we waited until September to sign up and were wait-listed but the demand was high enough and they were able to add another tour.
