Customer Review: Leave this book at the store
I knew I was in trouble with this book when the author said she could not be bothered with European train schedules and therefore provided NO information about train travel with kids. Instead, there are pages about buying a car to avoid rental prices! Our trip was train-based and we highly recommend the trains. We left this book and all its irrelevant information at home, and recommend you do too.
Customer Review: Excellent book on planning any trip with your family
I read this book when I was starting to plan a trip for our family and I am really glad that I was lucky enough to start with this one. There are some specifics for different countries (England, France, etc) which are extremely helpful for finding appropriate activities for families, but the most helpful section is the more general information on planning a trip. How to pack for different types of travel, how to negotiate an itinerary and what are reasonable expectations. This book gave me the courage to plan a fantastic trip for our family myself and we had a great time.
