Italy Tours with Dave Hoerlein & Andrea Vincenti

This event was recorded on April 20, 2026.

Why is Italy our most popular tour destination? Rick's first-ever employee, Dave Hoerlein, and beloved tour guide Andrea Vincenti unlock the answer, starting with Italy's great cities — canal-laced Venice, Renaissance Florence, and eternal Rome. From there, we sample Italian countryside delights in the Chianti hills and traffic-free Cinque Terre, tiptoe along the towering peaks of the Dolomites, and wonder at Sicily's steaming volcano. Plus, Dave and Andrea share how you can experience this history, cuisine, and culture on an unforgettable Rick Steves' Europe Italy tour!
