What travelers are saying

"We purchased two backpacks from Rick Steves Europe. One of them arrived damaged and unusable. Their website says that you must contact them if you receive damaged merchandise. I have attempted to email them through their website and I have left 3 voicemails (nobody answers the phone, ever!) and nobody has contacted me back. At this point, it seems like I've been ripped off. Buyer beware. Extremely disappointed."

  • Gdansk - Begin in Gdansk at Westerplatte where the Polish garrison withstood German naval, artillery and infantry assaults for seven days in the war’s first action.

Here he masterminded his eastern front operations and survived the 1944 assassination attempt. Warsaw - Tour Old Town Warsaw completely rebuilt after the city was destroyed and the Warsaw Rising museum, tribute to the courageous 1944 battle that lasted 63 days. Krakow - We highlight 1000-year-old Krakow and the Royal Castle and the Schindler Factory and Museum before entering through the “Arbeit Macht Frei“gates of Auschwitz, the international symbol of the Holocaust. Stalag Luft III - Visit Stalag Luft III where the “Great Escape” took place allows us to see the barracks and the remnants of tunnels Tom, Dick and Harry dug by the Allied airmen. Berlin - In Berlin we stand where the final surrender took place at Karlshorst, as well as see the Reichstag and the chilling Topography of Terror Museum. Not far from the Brandenburg Gate we experience the height of the Cold War at the Checkpoint Charlie Museum straddling what was East and West Berlin.

What travelers are saying

"As a retired Environmental Studies Professor, our tour guide Dr. Don Snow is widely well read and has thorough knowledge of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. It was obvious from the very beginning that his teacher instinct wishing to impart his vast knowledge with us runs deep in his blood. Having lived in MT for many years, Don is intimate with local lores and history, as well as its flora and fauna. Five of us tested positive for Covid during our tour. Nick, our tour manager and the "fixer" of all things and ASHT Company did a phenomenal job of guiding us through the difficult situation."
