May loves to introduce travelers to a quiet and pristine side of Holland that few experience

the hike is a delight monola is petite and picturesque a tumble of buildings filling its Ravine above a craggy Port

About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description

For my holiday season gift to you, I’d like to share three exciting glimpses of why I love Europe. Over the next three days, we'll travel to slices of Europe that are remote, sacred, and wild — starting today, with remote. In today’s travel-dream-come-true, let’s canoe together on the canals of Holland, hike along the Cinque Terre (my favorite stretch of Riviera trail), and climb a tiny but dramatic and rewarding mountain in North England. These images share the joy I get from my work. Along with my 100 workmates here at Rick Steves’ Europe, I’m working harder than ever. And knowing that because of our hard work, 20,000 happy adventurers who join our tours this year will be dealing with post-tour smile creases keeps me happily coming to my desk each day that I’m not on the road. Happy dreams of happy travels… -Rick At http://www.ricksteves.com, you'll find money-saving travel tips, small-group tours, guidebooks, TV shows, radio programs, podcasts, and more on this destination.
