The Rick Steves Story

The mission at Rick Steves' Europe Through the Back Door is to inspire, inform and equip Americans to have trips that are fun, affordable and culturally broadening. This same mission to supply travelers with the knoweledge they need to travel corresponds with the Rick Steves travel gear he helps design and offer.

The Rick Steves line of travel accessories and luggage is produced with the same travel smarts. Lightweight bags, clever pocketing, secure handbags, comfort accessories and security products are just a few of the travel categories Rick Steves himself has helped design to his specifications.

Rick Steves line of goods is made with a decades old California luggage manufacturer called Kiva Designs. Kiva and Steves team up to offer all the travel gear you need to get the most out of all of your travels. And as Rick Steves ends every show on PBS channels with: "Happy Travels".
