 Best travel guide February 28, 2008
The Rick Steves guide books are invaluable tools when travelling abroad. He gives common sense ideas on what to see, where to stay and where to eat. Would never travel to Europe without his books.
As usual, an excellent guide book. February 8, 2008
This is the third guide book from Rick Steves that I have used. Like the other two (Ireland and France) this one is exceptionally useful. Rick knows how to concentrate on the important things and he tells it like it is.

A useful guide, particularly for the Southwest. Could use more information about mass transit.
 Only for first-time visitors who want to be told exactly what to do. May 6, 2007

This book is one person's opinion of what is worth seeing in England; it includes *only* those things, and nothing else. A full 24% of the book is taken up with London. That section includes helpful bus info that most guidebooks don't include, but, oddly, not a tube map so that you can think about connections ahead of time. Also lacking is a single map of the whole of London. Instead, there is a color map in the front of the book of only the most central part of central London, and then multiple small hand-drawn maps of individual areas of London. To figure out how to get from one place to another involves putting together a number of different little maps. In addition to the partial London map, there are maps of Bath and all of England at the beginning of the book; otherwise, all the maps are small and hand-drawn, which I found annoying. As examples of what you *won't* find in this book, there is nothing at all on Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol, Nottingham or Exeter, just to name a few. Personally, I would prefer to pay a few dollars more for a more comprehensive guide.
 I will never trust Rick Steves again. April 17, 2007

Several years ago, my sister and I traveled to London relying largely on Rick Steves' then-current guide to England. Our problems started with our hotel near Victoria Station, a place Steves had praised to the skies; it turned out to be the worst so-called hotel we had ever seen in our lives, a filthy, unkempt, knocked-together place with SPIKES (not bars) in the windows and a venal staff utterly uninterested in the comfort of the guests. This was only the first of many pieces of bum advice that Mr. Steves gave us through his guide. I will never again trust any travel advice given by Mr. Steves. I would, however, like to know how this self-styled Emperor of Travel makes his way through Europe with no clothes.
