December 1: Paris & Provence: Gabe’s 2025 Trip Report

6:00 p.m. PT / 9:00 p.m. ET | 6:00 p.m. PT / 9:00 p.m. ET | REGISTER

France is Europe's most diverse and delicious country to explore, and this summer, Monday Night Travel host Gabe Gunnink indulged in this diversity from Paris to Provence and from mountaintop hamlets to seaside escapes. Together with Gabe, we relive this adventure, bookending the trip in Paris with a Bastille Day bash and Tour de France fanfare. In between, we zip down on a high-speed train to market-filled Aix-en-Provence, drive to workaday Arles to study its Van Gogh history, kayak under the vast Pont du Gard aqueduct, and swim across the azure waters of rocky calanques near Cassis.

December 8: London: A Royal Tour – Watch with Tom Hooper

6:00 p.m. PT / 9:00 p.m. ET | REGISTER

Blue Badge-certified Rick Steves guide Tom Hooper joins us for the premiere of our newest public TV episode, "London: A Royal Tour"! We kick things off with red-coat pageantry at Buckingham Palace and a lesson in riding double-decker buses, black cabs, and the Tube like a local. After visiting the Churchill War Rooms — a WWII time warp — we stand face-to-face with those who put the great in Great Britain at the National Portrait Gallery. Our tour finishes even farther back in time at the Tower of London to get acquainted with England’s royal origins. So, pour yourself a pint and don't forget to mind the gap!

Italy Blitz: Venice, Florence, Rome, Naples & the Amalfi Coast

This event was recorded on November 24, 2025.

To celebrate our two brand-new Italy guidebooks, Rome, Florence & Venice and Naples & the Amalfi Coast, guidebook researcher Robyn Stencil and tour guide Lisa Friend whisk us away for a whirlwind tour of the newly discovered hidden gems and stalwart favorites that fill our Italy books. Together, we experience vibrant street life in intense yet elegant Naples, hone in on under-the-radar towns on the twinkling Amalfi Coast, and get Robyn's fresh-from-the-rucksack report on Florence. Plus, we take a behind-the-scenes peek at a day in the life of a guidebook researcher.
