Patricia Fannon was our guide for The 14 Days Villages in Italy 2024. She is simply the BEST tour guide ever!

Many little troubles in trasportation have been solved, trains are better, info are clear in different languages and online services are better than many countries in europe offer. I think a tourist could visit Italy in a easier and safer way now

You don’t have to go all the way to India to have a “crash course in reality “.

God IS good!

I love your style! I am a plus size gal. My daughter told me i could put 2 pairs of jeans & a shirt in one small packing cube, i did it,! Unreal. I love your water bottle & didnt know about a travel CPAP! Do you pack a raincoat? Thanks for all the great tips.

Gramme doesn't exist. It's grammi. Learn the language before teaching it, please.

the average temp.in the world have risen 0.84 degree celsius the past 100 years , the Italians travel to Scandinavia for the same reason Americans do, they want to see the world, I know it's diff. to understand when you follow mass media but try and google how much the temp. have actually changed, also we are at the same level as in the Viking age, that said we should worry about pollution of our water, air and ground that is the real issue

Nordic countries are :the 3 Scandinavian Denmark, Norway, Sweden plus Iceland, Finland, Faroe Islands, Åland and Greenland , the Baltic states would like to be part of the Nordic and have a seat in the Nordic council but are not members

the Smørrebrød/open face sandwich looks good , but seems like you forgot the butter!.

What is the name of your bag I can't find one

Brilliant, pure gold, I m from india, but india is changing drastically

Question can I pack just my medicine in my daily pill planner and do.i.hsve to.bring all my pill bottles?

PDF link for the notes that accompany this talk does not work

Said expensive - how expensive to rent a boat? Week?

ITALIA STUPUR MUNDI!

You make a mistake with the Moroccan map. Between Morocco and Mauritania there is just Morocco. Or did you find a country between Morocco and Mauritania that we ignore.. if yes give us a Name!!!

17:40 You all know the IRA was allied with Hitler, right?

Fred is a genius!!! Great video.

This presenter is AWESOME…..this video’s content is AWESOME. THANK YOU,

Wish I had seen this before our Camino! Great advice, but if you are deliberating going, just go. We made no reservations in advance, we always found a place to stay, Saint James (Santiago) will provide. Best experience of my life.

Salmorejo is the soup I believe Robyn was trying to remember the name of. I enjoy it much more than gazpacho. It's a tomato and bread based soup typically served with with a drizzle of olive oil and maybe some small chunks of jamon. Usually served cold in a tall glass. Perfection on a hot summer day.

MALTA...... 2024...... the quality and quantity of the tourists who made this discovery is amazing this year.

So very cool that his name is solidly synonymous with travel.

What a great video 😍 I’m the owner/manager of Café Eđge and just want to say thank you so much for the lovely review of our place and the kind words 🙏🏼 Just for reference, we’re open Wednesday-Saturday 12.00-17.00 🌺

I couldn't quite figure out the little wire that connects to bluetooth earbuds. But i am excited about the little CPAP machine.

I love Ab Fab soo much.

I am currently checking fares to Europe, and check on fees are around $75!! No way!! I've got a basic backpack that I am going to use. What I can't fit I will buy once I get there (souvenirs!!!)

Other safety travel tip: I found not to be on the top level of the double- decker bus in London at night, when only one other rider was there moving closer and closer to me, I saw him in the mirror, and then went downstairs before he got too close.

1990, age 20, I spent 2 months traveling around Europe alone as a young woman - Eurail, youth hostels, ridiculously large backpack - with Europe Through The Back Door in hand. This summer my 18 year old is heading off to Europe for his first solo trip. Life comes full circle. SO thrilled for him! And, yes, I’m introducing him to the book that started it all for me…

Good work, but a few surprising mistakes in term of genres and spelling (particularly within the number section)

I used to not be big on the idea of a travel journal, but after realizing that you never know when you're just a day or two away from being in the middle of a major global event, I've definitely changed my tune on the idea. It can put your travels into context in quite interesting ways.

You just said climate change is causing flights to be canceled. 🤡 Please specify one single flight from any carrier that has been canceled because of climate change. 🤡 II called Delta Ryan air, Swissair Brussels air British Airways and not one flight has been canceled because of climate change so what in the world are you talking about?🤡

Steve’s just phoning it in I see She’s hideous

Taxis😂 His advice is to pay a taxi 😂 He claims taxis are safe and they won’t cheat you 🙄

this is the first real comment. one that contains actual content. that content is a message of congratulations for your successful exit from a country full of great people suffering under a cruel and twisted dictator named Vladimir Putin. You and not he will ultimately receive the blessings of history.

ST GILES CATHEDRAL !!!!! You claim you lived there ? 🤡

How many times have you been wiped out by someone wearing a backpack ?... They turn around and wipe you out or knock you over......so irritating

“ THE COUNTRYSIDE OF SWEDEN IS BORING “ Rick Steves 🙄

The parents do NOT hire the beer trucks for their kids to ride around in and get drunk. Where in the world are you getting your misinformation? If you would actually go to these countries and experience life there you would stop telling people such garbage you keep telling people lies.

Every Rick Steves travel guide is useless the moment it is published because it relies on old information from months or even years before the only way the smart way is to get the weekly entertainment, travel guides at the airport and at the bus stations the moment you get there, and that’s the only way to know which festival is going on that weekend Which restaurants have just opened up and what is actually current because his travel guides are by definition old and expired by the time you buy them and that’s a fact

Budapest without a second thought . One of the most beautiful cities in the world. I want to drink my favorite Tokaji wine on the hills of Buda and look at the beautiful Danube. Greetings to our Hungarian neighbors from Serbia

Really thorough video. I love seeing all the essential items you’ve packed that are NOT just clothes. I am also a plus size carry-on only traveler, and I pack light-ish so all of my clothes fit on one half of my suitcase, but it’s all those extra necessities (especially the whole cpap set - I still haven’t invested in the travel version so I carry the WHOLE full size set up in my backpack) that end up causing panic on packing day! Thanks so much for sharing a realistic version of packing for those of us who have necessities that can’t be easily purchased or replaced on-site so they HAVE to come with you from home!

She is amazing how can I find more french language videaf

Idk why people need the temp conversions for laundry, just select the lowest temp. You only need hot water for washing things soiled with fecal matter

Rick's compassion is part of what makes him one of the finest teachers of his generation.

Thanks Rick Steves.

Wow! I've read Plotkin's opera book but this is the first time I've ever seen him ... what knowledge! I've been to Italy about 7 times and love dining locally and I'm probably exaggerating when I say I have 1/100 of his knowledge. What a video!
