.Rick Steves' Spain and Portugal Map: Including Barcelona, Madrid and Lisbon (Rick Steves)

i'm thrilled with the purchase of our first rick steves travel book. his website and tv shows are VERY informative and practical and this 2008 book on Spain does not disappoint. it's not too clunky to take with us on our travels - yet, for day trips, we're photocopying a few "walking tour" pages so we don't have to take the book with us when we're travelling lighter. ... while he doesn't highlight EVERY inch of spain, he surely hits all the highlights! NO complaints and we look forward to experiencing more of the world through his expertise!

Loved this book. I dragged this book all over Europe for 31 days. Wow, this book is the bomb. It led me to many jewels in many countries and it helped me find train stations, find my bearings when lost in Switzerland, led me through Vatican when in Italy. I was so impressed. I swear by this book! Its the best.

.Rick Steves' Portuguese Phrase Book and Dictionary

Rick Steves' Portuguese Phrase Book & Dictionary allowed my husband and I to enjoy the paradise of the Azores islands without worrying about the language barrier. We were able to order from menus, find bathrooms, talk to our taxi drivers, and understand responses when we asked questions. Having the pronunciation, dictionary, phrases, and street signs sections of the book were great. He seemed to cover everything we needed. The humor made for some fun reads and we would consult the book whenever we had time to kill, just for fun. I highly recommend this one for travel to the Azores.

.Rick Steves' 2005 Best European City Walks And Museums (Rick Steves' Best European City Walks and Museums)

I bought the book for a recent trip which included stops in Paris and Amsterdam. Also included in the book are sections for London, Venice, Florence, Rome, and Madrid. If you're used to Rick's style and sense of humor from his TV show or his other guides, this book will fit you like a glove. The Paris section includes a city walk, the Louvre, Orsay, and Versailles, while Amsterdam's section includes a city walk, the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum, and Anne Frank House. Paris' city walk takes you from Notre Dame meandering through the Latin Quarter to Pont Neuf while Amsterdam's takes you from the railway station to the Rijksmuseum.

Let me start by pointing out that almost any city guide you buy will include some sort of walking tour. In my opinion, ... Read More:

I loved the witticisms and the good advice. My only complaint is that it is a bit big to carry around.

We felt like we wasted our money on this guide. The authors tried to cover too much ground in one book -- in doing so, the reader is left with a feeling that the info is incomplete and inadequate. We did not visit Latvia or Lithania, but we did see some of Moscow and St. Petersburg before taking the Finnish Sibelius train to Helsinki. We also visited Tallinn, Estonia by Silja's wonderful "Super Seacat IV" ferry. (The two of us traveled on our own -- avoiding the tour groups.) Russia/Finland/Estonia is a wonderful trip to for younger and older adults (leave the small kids at home). The title of the book is somewhat misleading, as the authors focus on and cram Helsinki, Tallinn, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Vilnius, and Riga into 138 pages. Page 42, "Eating in ... Read More:

.Rick Steves' Best of Eastern Europe 2006 (Rick Steves)

I am a recent convert to Rick Steves. When I decided to travel around Eastern Europe I at first opted for the old standby - Lonely Planet. However, I stumbled upon so many great reviews of Rick Steves that I decided to get this book instead. I am certainly glad that I did.

Rick has a flair for sucking one into the world of which he writes. Before I even took my trip I found myself reading the travel book for leisure, not just planning.

The tips on hotels and hostels were great, as well as various restaurants. While I am not exactly a heavy spender, the book gave me great suggestions that allowed me to really feel like I was mixing in with the locals, especially in Slovenia.

I was also very impressed with Rick's recommendations ... Read More:

Certainly the warmest and friendliest guidebook out there, this one also happens to be the best. Although he may or may not have written the entire book, it sure feels like Rick Steves is there page after page talking to you one on one, telling you all about the places to go in and around London. Leaving little out, covering things you'd never think of on your own, this is a book to buy and pack and take with you. Well worth the price!
