Rick Steves' Europe

This show takes on the best aspects of the great travel shows that unfortunately seemed to have disappeared over the past few years from TV.

Rick is a great narrator who takes you on journeys throughout Europe whilst providing a comfortable and laid back atmosphere. Unlike most travel documentaries this one takes you more in-depth despite having a short runtime. He manages to squeeze in interesting facts and scenery in a quick but relaxing manner. You will experience landmarks, art, food, and local customs.

This show is a definitive must see for any travel enthusiast. You will definitely find a way to appreciate it especially in the later seasons.

Really like the show. And the narator voice too. I wish they travel to Asia too.

I've watched Rick Steves' Europe for years on PBS. Rick is a friendly, amiable guy who presents each show in a very down to earth manner. Not only does he cover the usual tourist spots, but some shows cover the off-the-beaten-track, if not offbeat, sights that you didn't know existed in these places. And he always includes some of the locals who give their own take on their home countries. I like the show.

Unfortunately, I have to subtract a couple of points because Rick has a tendency to present a slightly upbeat and supportive take on Europe's social welfare system. It's a minor quip, but I don't think he factors in the astronomical taxation and cost of this system and how it's starting to implode on itself. I find it a minor distraction, but most viewers won't give it a second thought.

That's my take. So if you like Europe, you'll enjoy watching.

But the show is hard to watch. I was sitting on the kitchen counter, rick steves europe started playing on the wall. I watch rick steves europe on the wall in my house.🐾

I enjoy watching Rick travel around Europe. He's a little cheesy at times, but I think he gives good recommendations and advice about things to do instead of just sticking to the super touristy spots everyone already knows about.

When I was planning my next trip to Europe, I found it useful watching his episodes to plan my itinerary. And it's comfortable watching just to have in the background. I've learned a lot from watching his show.
