2023 Winners


Burleson scrapbook

First Prize: Mark & Jeannie Burleson

Best of Europe in 21 Days

These empty nesters had a full-fledged adventure on their inaugural Rick Steves tour! They threw themselves into the activities, embraced the nightlife, and shared it all in their entertaining scrapbook. The judges — especially Rick! — enjoyed the great tips, video clips, and sense of fun they found with their group and guide.


Ackerman scrapbook

Second Prize: Katie Ackerman

Best of Italy in 17 Days

The judges found the best overall combination of design, great photography, and writing in Katie's scrapbook of the Best of Italy tour she shared with her parents (themselves long-time Rick Steves devotees). Cool facts and fun quotes garnish the stories of their experiences, including sharing good times with friends old and new.


Haegele scrapbook

Third Prize: Rebecca Haegele

Athens & the Heart of Greece in 14 Days

Becky's playful, engaging scrapbook captured the sense of what it's like on a Rick Steves tour, as she shared "wow" moments and more with her husband Mark and a merry band of fellow travelers. Her story made us feel like we were there with her, sharing in the fun — and the clean layout made it easy to follow.


Anderson scrapbook

Fourth Prize: Ashli Anderson

My Way: Alpine Europe in 12 Days

Ashli's enthusiasm and some terrific photography make a great case for choosing a My Way tour. Her helpful "Before You Go" tips show that she did her homework, and she and husband Troy took full advantage of the flexibility while also enjoying new friends and group experiences on their Alpine adventure.
