Rick Steves does all the planning for you. All you do is pack your bag!
Rick Steves offers a perfect ratio of planned tour time and free time to do as you wish - whether it be museums, nature walks, shopping, or restaurants.
The people on Rick Steve’s tours always seem to be the nicest people. We have made “friends for life” on every tour we have been on.
LOCAL GUIDES
FOOD & DRINK
LODGING
The guides know all of the best local places to go and have excellent recommendations. They are entertaining as well as informative and it feels like you have family in every city you go to!
Rick Steves brought us to best restaurants and offered us all the local specialties to try. The meals included on the tour are so good, filling, and have enough variety for even the pickiest palate.
Each hotel we stayed in was quaint, relaxing, and unique to the area. And they offered amazing breakfast in the morning to start our day!
TOUR GUIDE
Rick Steves Tour Guides are some of the most knowledgeable and engaging individuals. They have a true love for the countries they tour and that passion shines throughout the trip!
We are Joe, Jan, Caitlin, Steve & Kelly! Believe it or not, this was Steve & Kelly's 10th Rick Steves tour! Along the way, they have hooked Joe, Jan, and Caitlin to Rick Steves tours, adding a second tour to their list and planning for a third to Portugal this year! We all have fallen in love with Rick Steves for unique reasons but can all agree that Rick Steves brings experiences and memories that you can't find anywhere else! We are so excited to have the opportunity to rave about our Adriatic trip here in our Tour Scrapbook! We hope you enjoy looking through our memories of the trip as much as we enjoyed experiencing the trip. See you next in Portugal!

From the medieval towns of Croatia, to the fairytale castles in Slovenia, to the visibly war-torn towns of Bosnia-Herzegovina, there is something for everyone along the Adriatic.

A Tribute to our Tour Guide
Mariam
The heart and soul of Rick Steves' tours are the tour guides. They always manage to find the most outstanding guides. There are average tour guides, and then there are the ones we will remember forever. Our guide, Mariam Abdelghani, was a true gem. If you ever have the chance to go on one of her tours, I would highly recommend it! It was not a trip – IT WAS AN ADVENTURE! She was deeply knowledgeable yet entertaining and charming at the same time. She was an engaging storyteller and had the ability to communicate very effectively. You can tell she loves her job and she goes the extra mile. She knew so much about the culture, the locals, the geography, and I don’t believe there was a question that she could not answer. She far exceeded our expectations. We still keep in touch with her to this day! We love and miss you Mariam!
