A big thank you to Rick Steves Europe for being the catalyst in helping me fulfill a dream that began in the heart of a North Dakota farm girl and was made even stronger when my grandparents visited Ireland. I’ve been a fan of your show since I was in seventh grade, so it was truly an honor to be part of your tour group in Ireland. The memories my mother and I created are worth more than any pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. Cheers to an unforgettable experience!
We had the best guide and driver, and I’m sorry to the other tour groups in 2024, but we had top billing with Pascale and Steven! At the closing banquet, our guide gave us a wonderful compliment. Pascale said we were the “sunshine group,” bringing good weather to Ireland and always being on time—or ahead of schedule. If he said we were leaving in 10 minutes, we were ready and leaving in 5 minutes! He also mentioned that we got along so well, something he’d never experienced before. It was heartwarming to hear that our group genuinely cared for one another and had such a positive, problem-free experience. We were awesome!
