Good to know.
I think I would have kicked him in the nuts. Some situations I just throw caution to the wind like that.
Doesn’t mean I wouldn’t bolt like lightning to the airport after....;)
Not to mention a flaming homo.
I have Sicilian relatives. ALL lies told here.
The guy’s an idiot.
Hell, at one point there was an idea around to make Sicily a state.
At least where the towns my relatives come from, America is the good guy.
he seems a little light in the loafers to me, just sayin’.
but, truth be told, both allied and axis soldiers raped Sicilian women in ww2.
I enjoy his shows on TV. You are in lala land if you expect his tours to be shoving 4th of July up the wazzoo of the countries he visits.
I don’t see a hard left bent in his shows, more of just a “polite guest” mentality.
I am doubting the veracity of this as I cannot guess this is a good way to get repeat business. I really doubt Steves wrote an America Hating script and demanded it be delivered. Especially if a tourist video got out. I’ve had a few tour guides give leftist takes on things, but this tour de force sounds like a bit much. Did he take a video of this tour guide?
Stands to reason...that’s why PBS is so fond of him.
I tried to watch one of his TV shows on Israel but it was basically a propaganda piece for the P.A. It actually showed Arafat’s grave. Why would anyone be interested in seeing that unless they needed to pee?
Followed his videos for years. You saw his leftwing BS politics when he did his Iran juncket and to Israel. The latter was full of Pali sympathizing. Also in Spain and his whitewashing of those Moorish interlopers.
I bought his book “Europe Through the Back Door” about 25 years ago. It had a lot of good information and was apolitical for the most part. I don’t know if that can be said for the current edition.
Mr. Rick Steves is a full on rabid liberal...
“...employing his tours to promote a leftist agenda...”
You only have to listen to his BS drivel and it’s immediately OBVIOUS.
His ‘friends’ are pretty out there too, says a lot!
I did a WIKI on Steves and he is far left.
I did a WIKI on Steves and he is far left.
He also refers to Judea and Sumeria as “occupied” territory.
I quite watching his shows *years* ago because of that.
He also loves to pimp muzzies.
Vomitous!
Don’t be too discouraged.
EU gets most of its info on the USA from CNN-International.
It makes CNN in the USA look like the Rush Limbaugh.
Post it on trip advisor Thousands of people will see it https://www.tripadvisor.com/
I figured that out some time ago. Used to love to watch that show....haven’t in many years. Same with Anthony Bourdain.
We have followed his guide books for years and have found them valuable.
We know he is a socialist, which is not surprising given his love for Europe.
You should complain, there is no reason to endure political lecturing, one way, that you can’t control and that you paid for. Tell his company you are upset, plus review on Yelp and other sites.
Interesting - he does spend a lot of time raising funds for PBS.....
