This is a GREAT book, what a fabulous idea. I've always been obsessed with anything Sherlock Holmes, and this book is a perfect addition to my collection. I love looking at the actual physical...
this handy guide is also great (see streetwise maps for maps). Be sure to review them before you leave to be sure they cover the area you will be in because they are mostly "on the beaten path"...
Bigger letters than our regular fold out map which really helped on my night ventures but too few neighborhoods with too much overlap. Seems like the maps should cover everything intramuros.

I travelled with this book for a week over Christmas 2008 and had no problems. My favorites are the self-guided walks and the transportation connections/tips.
I felt that Rick's Provence and the French Riviera guide has some of the essentials but not the inspired coverage of his other books. There isn't the excitement that he presents in his Italian and...
What I like about Rick Steves guides is that, unlike his competitors, they are filled with personal observations with clear recommendations of what to see and experience. The writing is more...
I get the feeling Steves assumes we are stupid Americans with no interest in French history or culture
When my family all went to Paris last year this was one of the books we purchased to prepare for the trip. Luckily I bought a few additional, more thorough, guides because this one missed the boat...
I thought this book was really helpful. The maps were great, just wish we had studied them a little more before we went! We had a great time in Paris and took the book with us everywhere we went....
Rick Steves books are definitely overrated. Amazon had several reviews of positive ratings for his books. I would not recommend any of his books. His Paris travel book is modest at best.It does not...
Exhaustive listing of London restaurants, good organization
This is a fat book: 415 pages with small type. It's probably too heavy to throw into a daypack as I travel around London on my upcoming trip, so I've ordered its smaller sibling, the Time Out...
While Footprint had a good idea with this series, these little city guides are simply too small and incomplete. When you have the likes of Bradt and Rough Guides out there setting the standards,...
Don't buy this guide if you are headed to Barcelona soon...The reaon I gave it a 3-Starts rating is that some of the bars this guide recommends do not exist anymore! I wanted to go to three of them...
Time Out guidebooks are one of the best travel guides available. They are comprehensive, but small enough to be easy to pack. This edition had very good information on the smaller hill towns as...
I went to Italy over the holiday after doing quite a bit of research with 4 or five different types of tour guides. these seemed great for their great history section and great "local" restaurant...
We are big fans of Rick Steves and his guide books; however, Switzerland isn't France or Italy, and Rick hasn't much to work with as it's still just Switzerland.
Rick does not cover the 3rd largest city in the country. Basel. e-mailed Rick and was told "not enough staff " to cover. Plenty of staff to cover all the ski areas oh well one learns- Check the...
I bought Rick Steve bcoz of the hype... apparently, this is a starter book, gives the basics. Rick Steve ignores Gstaad as a touristy town, but if you skip those few streets which are indeed...
A friend lent us this book right before we hit London. We only had a day and a half and so wanted to see as much of the city as possible. There are amazing walking tours here and easy to choose...
On our two week trip, the book was always with us. Being originally from Berlin, I still needed the updates form my time. In the Rhine and Bavaria areas we just followed Rick's advise and had a...
In selecting this book, I indicated I wanted a book about bicycling in Germany and Austria. I did not manage to get a thorough look at the index, but saw some rivers & towns mentioned and assumed...
There is no denying it, this book has lots of useful tips and is easy to use but I did find the tone a bit patronizing at times. I really don't need someone to tell me what to think, even when in a...

Rick Steves - The Easiest and Most Reliable Travel Books!!!! It is so easy to use his books. Logically organized and not a lot of fluff but a whole lot of valuable and usable information!!...
Love all Rick Steve's books - this one was great as well
Love them alll, this one included. We travel with two guide books but always end up using Rick Steves over any others. Used his 2008 Best of Europe on our last trip.
I was disappointed with this order. I had previously borrowed this book from a friend and loved it. It was most helpful while in Spain. However, I was surprised [and felt fooled] that THIS version...
I toured Rome and so glad had this book! The recommendations on what to see, what to do and where to eat were very helpful. I especially appreciated the sections relating to the Sistene Chapel,...
Love all Rick Steve's books - this one was great as well
We always travel with two books for each destination and Rick Steves is always the book we use most for food, attractions, and city walks. Great writing style and very rarely out of date information.
I bought Eye Witness Travel Italy then was loaned Rick Steve's Italy. Eye Witness had a lot of pictures and not much useful info to smooth and fine tune your self guided travel. Steve's had much...
We just returned from Italy after a 10 day trip. We got conned into buying this book with all the hype created around Rick Steves. Going by the book for the first few days of the trip, we got...
Rick Steves' Italy 2009 guide left a little to be desired for me. He only covers the areas in Italy that he would recommend you visit. Pesaro, for example was not included in that book, and there...
