HELLO THERE!

We're Rick and Heather Jesus.

For years we've dreamed of an European Adventure for our 25th wedding anniversary but due to the COVID-19 pandemic we did it for our 27th!

We live in the Seattle area where we work: Rick as a firefighter and Heather as a dental hygienist. Our two kids are both in college: a perfect time to adventure on our own!

We feel blessed to have been able to take a month off from our jobs to experience this amazing journey. We hope you enjoy visiting our memories with us!

Why we chose a Rick Steves Tour:

1) Years of Experience and Knowledge - from watching and reading Rick Steves materials we have seen that these tours are planned using years of personal travel knowledge and the joy of sharing that knowledge with others. We have talked to numerous previous tour members who have all raved about their experience.

2) Value for Our Money - when you look at all that is included with these tours the value can't be beat. We love the transparency of knowing exactly all that is covered with no hidden fees.

3) Transportation and Accommodations - researching where to stay in places you've never been can be hard. We felt so good about this being planned for us in wonderful locally owned hotels with excellent central locations. Having transportation taken care of also eliminated the stress of how to get to each stop and made it so easy!

4) Excellent Customer Service - we called the Rick Steves company because we have medications that need to be refrigerated. They took care of lining up our needs at each stop and even during transportation for the entire trip. So helpful!

5) Flexibility - participate in every activity and tour offered on the trip....or don't. It's really up to you! Having free time to pursue individual interests at each location is a wonderful bonus.

6) Ethical Travel - we love Rick Steves' philosophy of being ethically responsible travellers and agree with it wholeheartedly. We felt good about booking a tour that focused on forging good international relationships and utilizing locally owned accommodations and local guides.
