This is the third trip to Europe I've planned with the help of Rick Steves' guide books. They are so clearly laid out and well organized with extremely useful information. Here are a few of my favorite attributes:
Rick puts 1-3 triangles next to cities and sights according to his recommendation for including them in your itinerary. Three triangles means it should not be missed. And he includes a lot of sights that don't have a triangle too, so it's not like he only covers the most important places to visit, he covers a lot of less popular places too. This triangle key really helps in planning what to see in each city, especially those cities where we don't have much time.
The hotel/B&B recommendations are excellent and the pros and cons for each lodging are so helpful. For instance, he recommends some places because the location is good and another place because it's a good value, etc... And when I cross reference these recommendations with reviews on Trip Advisor, they are always well rated. The map of the hotel locations include major sights and transportation options so you can choose a lodging according to where you want to be visiting. This us very helpful when you'd like to be walking to sights or need to be near a train station. Don't forget to mention this guide book when making reservations as some places listed in this book will give a discount.
Restaurant recommendations are also mapped according to sights so you can easily find a place to eat close to where you're visiting. And there is always a variety of restaurants to fit different budgets.
He includes self-guided tour instructions for major museums and sights like Westminster Abbey. I followed his tour for the Louvre exactly as written and it was perfect!Read more ›

I downloaded this book to my kindle for our recent trip to England. It was just what I was looking for. It was easy to navigate while on the go. It's concise, so you can get to the important points, such as brief historical facts, restaurant price points, modes of travel, etc, without having to wade through too much information. I would use Rick Steve's guides for trips to other countries next time I travel.

I have traveled to Europe 4 times with Rick Steves' books. I usually buy every travel book I can find for planning, but Rick Steves' is the only one worth the money.
Most books act simply like an encyclopedia of places to go and things to do there. You can find all that information for free online.
Rick Steves' gives you his opinions, which I really appreciate. He also helps you plan by saying things like "If you have 3 days, spend them in London, 5 days-Add Bath, 7 days-Add york" and so on.
One note, though: calling the Rick Steves travel advice line at $100/hour is a REALLY bad idea. The guy I talked to just wanted to read the guide book to me. He even spent a great deal of time telling me basic travel tips like "call your banks and let them know you'll be using your credit cards overseas" even though I told him I had been overseas several times. It was a total waste of money.

Perhaps I just don't know how to use the kindle properly but I found it difficult to look places up quickly. I was hoping to pack less weight by having it here but I am taking the paperback with me. The book contents are excellent and I love the fact that you can get updates of information since it was published. If you are adept at using Kindle, you'll love it. If not, buy the paperback.

There are items I needed to know, especially how to change $ into #, and he explained all. Also he listed points of interest and the history of England. I am glad I bought the book.

I find Rick Steves' books the best of all travel books for information on how to get from one place to another, where to stay, and where to eat.
