Rick Steves' twenty-one day Grand Tour of six European countries cost $468 per day. It includes all breakfasts, no lunches, and half of the dinners. You travel in a bus with 24 to 28 people, and the price does not include airfare.

An eight-day Viking river cruise of the Rhine River includes all meals and costs $750 per day. This price does not include airfare.

Our latest twenty-two day trip to Germany, Austria, and Switzerland in a rented car and all meals cost $188 per day. Our overnight accommodations for twenty-one nights cost an average of $64 per night with most of these in one-bedroom apartments with a kitchen and private bathroom.

European travel need not be expensive, and we believe that by traveling inexpensively you will get closer to the people and culture. We visit small villages where we shop in the stores and restaurants where the locals shop.
