Customer Review: YEAH HE’S A DORK, BUT HE KNOWS A BARGAIN
This books can really save you money, and they are easy to read and navigate. Steves has made a fortune of these books and his pbs series, by being down to earth and straight forward. Granted he has no sense of style and reminds me of the nerd in school that you wanted to throttle because he could not hit the ball off the tee, but he does know how to navigate Europe on the cheap, and im sure he laughs all the way to the bank.
Customer Review: You can never go wrong with Rick
Rick is the best … I gave this book to my parents after I had used his Paris book. He’ll never steer you wrong, and he has the best self-guided tours of anyone. I used to use the “eyewitness” books, which are pretty to look at, but there is nothing like Rick’s. The last time I was in Paris, I ran into a couple of people who were using his book, and we struck up a great conversation, and at the end we all agreed that Rick’s books are the best way to go. It’ll be money well spent.
