Our Amazing Guides, Driver and Group!
Our tour guide was Colleen Murphy, she is a veteran of 21 years with Rick Steves and a truly amazing! Colleen was able to fulfill our first European experience to a level we never could have imagined, nor could we have experienced it so well on our own. She never skipped a beat, she is absolutely full of enthusiasm, knowledge and is always willing to share it with her group. Without a doubt, Colleen made our first European experience an absolute blast!
We were lucky enough to have Cary as our assistant guide. As if one great guide wasn't enough, Cary was able to tag along with us and was a real asset to the group. Always smiling and happy to see everyone, she was right there with us helping us with maps, places to go, where to eat, things to see, language help...you name it! She was so driven to make sure everyone in the group was having the best time possible that she will certainly make for a great guide for years to come!
These two went from guides to friends within such a short period, we cannot thank them enough for help and leadership to make this trip so special. Their group members are always the #1 priority and we trust them to guide us anywhere, hopefully we get the chance to go on another tour with them. But if nothing else, we will see them at the Rick Steves 2013 alumni reunion!

Our driver, Matt, was another great asset to our trip. He wasn't just "the bus driver", he was part of the group as well...he just happened to be driving us around! Many of the group members spent some good time with Matt. We had dinner with him, chit-chatted between stops and enjoyed some of the his singing and commentary throughout the trip. His great personality and level of professionalism was outstanding. He was fun to talk to, did everything he could to make everyone comfortable and could squeeze the bus through any part of Europe without breaking a sweat! We appreciate everything he did to contribute to our great experience in Europe and highly recommend him! |
…And there they are! The friends we never knew we had before heading out on this trip! We shared some of the best moments of our trip with many of these tour members, all together they helped make the trip that much better!
