David and his team have been on the road leading tours this year for 120 days… so far! Tonight, David will report on the state of European travel. The good, the bad, the better, and the best!
David will share his recent adventures on his Amalfi and Islands Tour. Each April, David puts together a tour visiting several islands off the bay of Naples, Pompeii, Sorrento, and the Amalfi Coast. Join him for new material and a fresh look in 2023.
We spend the first few months promoting our tours at Travel and Adventure Shows throughout the United States each year. The Chicago Show in Rosemont, Illinois, is always a big event for us, bringing many people to visit our booth and sign up for tours. I am always fortunate to have an opportunity to get on the Destination Stage and talk about travel, our tours, and sage advice picked up from my 46 years on the road in Europe.
Here is the promo written up in the show program.
Join European travel expert David McGuffin as he shares travel tips, favorite destinations, and lessons learned from forty-five years on the road. David spends about four months a year in Europe leading his small group tours, writing about his favorite destinations, and sharing his adventures via his social media, travel blog, and videos. He is an advocate of avoiding crowds, living like a local, educated travel, and embracing the culture of the locale. His picture-packed presentation is loaded with pertinent travel information, suggested routes, sage advice, and information about his small-group tours in Europe.
Tonight on Travel Talk Tuesday, I’ll share my spiel from last Saturday’s talk on the Destination Stage. Topics are:
David is just back from 8 weeks on the road in Europe. Travel is back and people are flying across the pond to experience many destinations. Singles, families, and groups were spotted in all the predictable locations, such as Rome, Paris, Dublin, and London. But the smaller locales still seem laid-back and in tourism recovery mode. Vax or No Vax did not seem to matter, and testing to enter a country were few and far between. Join David tonight as he reports on his travels, offers advice, and how the world has adapted in this (post) pandemic era.
