Travel with Rick Steves - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I enjoy his PBS shows and his podcast, which covers more than just Europe. He has an incredible variety of destinations that he covers, and has local guides/experts to opine. Try this travel podcast if you enjoy taking a journey without leaving your home. Very entertaining.

Rick changed my life in that he inspired me to experience other cultures and perspectives through travel. Being curious about other ways of living outside of America has enriched my life. Rick somehow has been vilified for his open minded approach, which is unfortunate and unfair. This podcast offers interesting topics and guests and I often learn something new. Learning is the very essence of growing as a human and I will be forever grateful to Rick for introducing me to travel long ago.

Steve I appreciate your shows and podcast and learn many wonderful things from your guests. However it would be much more enjoyable and respectful to please let your guests finish their sentence and not interrupt or talk over them. I know it’s not your intent but as a listener it’s hard to hear. Otherwise please continue bringing interesting perspectives and cultures to the show.

I’ve been a fan of Rick’s work for years and am always impressed with his tireless commitment to thoughtful travel. I understand that some folks only want travel info, but I applaud Rick for voicing his opinions and concerns even at the risk of losing customers. Bravo!

There are other travel podcasts to listen to if one is not onboard traveling WITH Rick. There are various reasons WHY people make their travel destination choices. Personally, I don’t know how one can avoid religion and politics when traveling to other countries/cultures (even our own) or entering a museum / historical site-unless it’s for food, spa, or entertainment. Oh, and this podcast covers that, too. Rick presents a wide range of travel ideas to a wide range audience. Bravo!

Love Rick and been loyally watching and listening for years, but have little/no interest in u.s. destinations…sure I’ve traveled around the u.s. a lot but I come to Rick for Europe, where I prefer to spend my vacation time. Also not loving the travel-adjacent topics: I really want practical travel information on European destinations, not reasons to scuba dive, or a writer’s discussion of his life in Cambodia, etc
