Buongiorno!
I'm Kathy and this is my Best of Italy in 17 Days tour site.
Growing up in the greater Seattle area, I’ve always known about Rick Steves and his Europe Through the Back Door philosophy of travel. I’ve watched countless PBS specials and 30-minute European travel shows oohing and aahing at all the quaint villages and mountaintop views. In the back of my head I always had a wish to go on one of his tours. Starting with my first trip to Europe 25 years ago and on several subsequent trips, I’ve used Rick Steves' products and relied on his travel books. Back then I travelled alone or with my sister with Eurail passes and youth hostel cards.
Back in 2012 my Dad and I went on our first Rick Steves tour Athens & the Heart of Greece tour. It was fabulous! Travel is always in the back of my mind and I'm constantly thinking of new places and adventures. I received Rick Steves 2015 tour book in the mail and started to thumb through it. Reading the itinerary of Best of Italy in 17 Days sounded like a great trip. I didn't have to think too long about it because I booked the tour within a few days. Several weeks later while having dinner with my two sisters and our Dad, I mentioned my trip. My sister Liz said that was the trip she had always wanted to go on, too. So, it became two Larsson sisters going to Italy on vacation.
Andiamo!
