"Steves is an absolute master at unlocking the hidden gems of the world's greatest cities, towns, and monuments."―USA Today
“Every country-specific travel guidebook from the Rick Steves publishing empire can be counted upon for clear organization, specificity and timeliness."―Society of American Travel Writers
"Pick the best accommodations and restaurants from Rick Steves…and a traveler searching for good values will seldom go wrong or be blindsided."―NBC News
"His guidebooks are approachable, silly, and even subtly provocative in their insistence that Americans show respect for the people and places they are visiting and not the other way around."―The New Yorker
"Travel, to Steves, is not some frivolous luxury—it is an engine for improving humankind, for connecting people and removing their prejudices, for knocking distant cultures together to make unlikely sparks of joy and insight. Given that millions of people have encountered the work of Steves over the last 40 years, on TV or online or in his guidebooks, and that they have carried those lessons to untold other millions of people, it is fair to say that his life’s work has had a real effect on the collective life of our planet."―The New York Times Magazine
"[Rick Steves] laces his guides with short and vivid histories and a scholar's appreciation for Renaissance art yet knows the best place to start an early tapas crawl in Madrid if you have kids. His clear, hand-drawn maps are Pentagon-worthy; his hints about how to go directly to the best stuff at the Uffizi, avoid the crowds at Versailles and save money everywhere are guilt-free."―TIME Magazine
"Steves is a walking, talking European encyclopedia who yearns to inspire Americans to venture 'beyond Orlando.'"―Forbes
“…he’s become the unofficial guide for entire generations of North American travelers, beloved for his earnest attitude and dad jeans."―Outside Magazine
"His books offer the equivalent of a bus tour without the bus, with boiled-down itineraries and step-by-step instructions on where to go and how to get there, but adding a dash of humor and an element of choice that his travelers find empowering."―The New York Times
"His penchant for creating meaningful experiences for travelers to Europe is as passionate as his inclination for making ethical choices his guiding light."―Forbes
"[Rick Steves'] neighborhood walks are always fun and informative. His museum guides, complete with commentary about historic sculpture and storied artworks are wonderful and add another dimension to sometimes stodgy, hard-to-comprehend museums."―NBC News

5.0 out of 5 stars Rick Steves delivers again!
Love this book! This was a lifesaver for planning my trip. The maps, suggested itineraries, secret spots, tips, and more make planning a breeze. I love the size - it allowed me to throw it in my bag to reference while out and about. Rick Steves delivers every time!
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent pocket guide to Paris!
Great portable little book packed with information on where to stay, what to see and what to eat. Maps were super helpful and folded out. After our epic trip I passed it on to a friend who went as well.
5.0 out of 5 stars Small and Consice
We are going to Europe soon for the first time. I have watched Rick Steves shows on Youtube and PBS and thought he knows what he is talking about. Here are my Thought's1. The book is small and easily fits in your pocket.2. It tells you places to see in the country specific book.3. Tells you methods of travel to get there4. Mentions Places to eat5. Includes a map of the area6. How to pay for things ETCI could go on and on. It has so much great information.For me the book is great and after reading it prior to our trip, I feel I am prepared for my visit.If you decide to buy Rick Steves pocket travel books, you won't be disappointed
4.0 out of 5 stars Print very small, although provides good information
I will preface with this thought- I wish the print was larger. I have new glasses as of 2 weeks ago. Even with that, I can barely discern much of the smaller print. It was my mistake in assuming even with this book being smaller, I could still read it. It will go back and I’ll stick with my full sized one.
5.0 out of 5 stars We will see Paris with renewed enthusiasm because of this pocket guide
Rick Steves' books and shows are excellent resources for traveling. This is why his books are the only ones I look for just before planning a trip.This is the first time for a couple traveling with us to travel to Europe. I thought that giving them this pocket guide will give them an idea of what to expect. "Pocket" or not, this book has many useful tips and lots of colorful pictures. and even includes a map.I bought a pocket guide for each of the cities we will visit. And although we have been to these cities before, reading this book made us view those cities with fresh eyes. And thus, we have picked a few more places and activities to include on our tours.
5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for a trip to Paris
This is the perfect book for our trip to Paris. Full of tips and secrets. Small enough to carry, yet full of information that we need.
5.0 out of 5 stars Very detailed
This was a perfect guide to help me plan a trip to Europe. The insert map is very detailed.
5.0 out of 5 stars Lightweight but informative
The media could not be loaded. I love Rick Steeves' travel info & have used his books for Greece and Italy, but those are pretty hefty. This lightweight pocket guide to Paris will be easy to stash in a backpack & pull out at a moment's notice. I can hardly wait for my trip to begin!
