[quote=Anonymous]A friend of mine wants to go on a trip with me and we were starting to plan it. She wants to go somewhere in Europe and is dead set on doing one of the Rick Steeves tours. I didn't know she was interested in doing tours before I agreed to do a trip with her. I've been to several places in Europe but I do all the planning myself...using trains to get around and in some countries, I've rented a car.

She's obsessed with doing a Rick Steeves tour so I looked into this more. She's not sure which one she wants to do but she's leaning toward Scotland or a Central Europe tour - (and these are places I have not been).  I even watched an hour long youtube video to see if the tour is right for me.

...it's not for me. For a few reasons - a huge part of this is that I'm not a fan of the type of accommodation they use -- looks like they're really into 'authentic' accommodation with some shared bathrooms and no elevators/hardly any amenities, while I'm just not into that - I want my own bathroom and I'd rather go back to a nice modern Marriott at the end of the day, I don't want to be shuffled from place to place, and I just don't want to be on a tour! I like being spontaneous and I don't want to be told when I get free time.

That said, these tours get, in general, really good reviews. Have any of you taken one of these tours? [/quote]
