"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 Look no further, buy this one.
A great London guide for those visiting the city for the first time, or for the first time in many years. Easy to access, logically laid out, tangible information on when and how to visit even the busiest locations and sights, with specific info on how to get there. I liked the no-nonsense recommendations and honest reviews. A handy map is included, but the Streetsmart London map was a great companion to this. Buy both.
5.0 out of 5 stars We added more places and more activities in London because of this book
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.

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.

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

Don’t do Rome without it.
Really useful & recommended if you’re going to Rome. The extra information was invaluable & after researching, this guide came highly recommended online. It was our 1st trip & we took it everywhere. It’s small enough to be light & easy to take test has all the information you might need for those known attractions & others that would otherwise be missed.

Packed with great information, multiple coloured pictures and maps within the book itself, plus the separate pocket high quality map of all the major attractions of historic Rome. Also liked the map of the “Heart of Rome Walk” to navigate walking through the major attractions in a logical manor is great. Also a public transportation map included. The book also supplies great historic background information on each attraction. Is evenpublic washroom locations designated on maps indicated with a black coloured WC. Worth the money if you’re self touring.
Really handy handbag size with removable map
Ordered this for my upcoming trip to Rome. Was recommended to me in a fb page. Has got loads of really helpful information on all the must see areas and has a tear out map at the back that we will utilise once we get there. Helps with the trip planning
