12th Man Flags Fly Across Europe

Last week we hosted over a hundred of our European guides in town for our annual tour guide summit. As a thanks for their huge part in successfully guiding over 800 Rick Steves Europe Tours groups and meeting the very high expectations of the nearly 20,000 travelers who joined our tours in 2014, we made sure they had a busy and fun cultural experience while in Seattle. And with all of the energy and excitement surrounding our Seahawks heading back to the Super Bowl, that included a big dose of American football culture. Now our wonderful guides are happily back in their homelands — each with a big, blue 12th Man flag. Cheers for the notorious “Legion of Boom” now echo throughout Europe as well as the great Pacific Northwest — from the mosques of Istanbul to the cobbles of Tuscany, and from the tombs of great English poets to the rumbling bulls of Pamplona. Thanks to our tour guides for spreading the word: Go Hawks!
