Buongiorno!My name is Alex and I am a professional illustrator with a desire to see more of the world. My first Rick Steves tour was in 2018, when I took the
Best of Paris tour. It was important for me as an artist to see the Louvre, Notre Dame, d'Orsay, and more... all of these magnificent works right there in person! I found there was too much to see to spend time sketching Paris on the go, but I carefully photo documented every bit of it so I could fuel my artistic creativity back at home. After the joy of Paris, I wanted to take another Rick Steves tour, and I knew immediately it would be Italy, possibly the greatest place for art and artists in history. With my eyes on the Venice, Florence and Rome tour, I had aimed to go in 2020. As we all know, that didn't work out, but after the long wait at home, I was finally able to attend the Venice, Florence, and Rome Tour from May 2 - May 11, 2022. Please enjoy my photo journey through Italy! |
