1 England's Bath and York

Medieval York and Georgian Bath pack an exciting pair of sightseeing punches. Rick explores Roman hot springs, cruises quiet canals, marvels at England's finest Gothic church, and gets a surprising dose of Viking history.
2 North Wales - Feisty and Poetic
10/1/06
In North Wales we'll climb a mountain aboard a steam train, learn some Welsh, follow a miner deep into a slate mine, herd sheep with a very clever dog, and work in a pop pilgrimage to the Beatles' Liverpool.
3 Edinburgh
10/1/06
In Edinburgh we'll explore the city's castle, peek at the new parliament, dabble in the local literature, sip a little Scotch, get wrapped up in a kilt, and then stow away on Her Majesty's yacht Britannia.
4 Naples and Pompeii
10/1/06
Naples is Italy in the extreme. We'll prowl backstreet fish markets, dodge fast-moving Vespas, dine on pizza where it was invented, climb to the top of nearby Mount Vesuvius, then wander through the ruins of Pompeii, the Roman town it destroyed.
5 Italy's Amalfi Coast

Just south of Naples, we'll experience the breathtaking Amalfi Coast, the trendy resort of Positano, the limoncello charms of Sorrento, the ancient Greek temples at Paestum, and the iridescent Blue Grotto hidden beneath the enchanting Isle of Capri.
6 Milan and Lake Como
10/1/06
In Milan we'll take a peek at Italy's highest fashion, fanciest delis, grandest cemetery, and greatest opera house...not to mention Leonardo's Last Supper. Then we'll cruise along Lake Como, settling down in the lakeside village of Varenna.
7 Tuscany's Dolce Vita
10/1/06
The rural charms of Tuscany give us a healthy dose of the 'sweet life' as we hunt for truffles in an oak forest, nibble our way through an artichoke festival, and ride a classic convertible through the cypress groves of Mona Lisa's backyard.
8 Italy's Great Hill Towns
10/1/06
Connoisseurs of Italy find its quintessential charms survive in its classic hill towns. From San Gimignano's medieval towers to Civita di Bagnoregio's cliff-hanging vistas...all sit on lofty stone perches that now protect them only from the modern world.
9 Vienna

In Vienna, we'll explore the palace, picnic on the Danube, bake a strudel, visit an extraordinary Gothic Cathedral, chase butterflies, marvel at the crown jewels and of course, do a little waltzing.
10 Salzburg and Surroundings

In Salzburg we'll explore its delightful old town, enjoy Mozart in a palace, and relax in a sun dappled beer garden; then we'll settle into a farmhouse B&B, survive a mountain luge run and cruise to one of the jewels of Austria's Lake District.

I love Rick Stevens and his travels. the ones I've seen in recent times, have not been updated for years. I enjoy his TV flubs at the end and I enjoy his talk and logic about things.
