Great product...reasonably priced. September 18, 2008
This was a great book,especially since I'm planning a family trip to Europe. Deeming it was a year older...it was very reasonable in price. Thanks.

This guidebook is actually fun to read, although it is lacking in more details you might be looking for. Great tips, and really interesting facts.
 Good, but mainly geared towards Americans June 15, 2008
Looking through the pages, many helpful ideas can be obtained about traveling throughout Europe, however, most information presented is American centric, leaving those of us outside of the US in the dark when it comes to certain aspects of the information stated. I would probably say that this book would be exceptionally handy for an American tourist that is Europe bound, but not as useful to the majority of people living in the rest of the world.
Book Was Very Helpful In Europe June 13, 2008
We used alot of Rick Steves tips during our trip to Italy and France. Very helpful, saved us time and money and aggrevation.

If you want to travel by someones direction other then your own take a tour.
Rick Steve's could not be more opinionated if he wanted to and I have found him more wrong then right.
Take his idea of taking night trains , you only see the city you stop in and miss a lot of interesting countryside.
One of the best things about going some place new is the adventure not a preplanned programed trip using someones ideas that most likely don't fit your own.
If you are going to Europe you will find very many friendly people who are very willing to help you out.
Always remember to hold on to your luggage keep wallets in front pockets , use buckle or snap tight purses.
If you are on a train don't leave your luggage till the doors close and the train is moving.
Europe is full of good people just use common sense and be aware of your surroundings just like you would anywhere.
If I listened to "RICK" I never would have seen Heidelberg Germany and it turned out to be one of my favorite places !
