Who are we anyway?Hello! We are John and Patti and we love to travel. Early last year, we were discussing our plans for 2013:
"Where should we go for our trip this year?" "I think we should try out a Rick Steves Tour." "Okay. Which one?" We looked through all the tours, considered the timing and places of interest and ended up with Heart of Italy mostly because John, the family photographer, saw pictures of the Cinque Terre and said, "THERE!" So everything was booked, plans were made, many pairs of walking shoes were purchased and on September 6, we boarded a big jet airplane to Rome for our first Rick Steves tour with 26 other fine folks. Why a Rick Steves TourAs I said, we love to travel and have made it a high priority. Much of what I've learned about how to travel has come from watching Rick Steves' shows, reading his website and using his guidebooks, so letting his tour company plan our trip to Italy, a place steeped in history and culture, seemed like a natural choice.
