Assessment Containing Books Rick Steves' Europe Through the Back Door

It's a bit unfair of me to be rating this edition when it's not the one I read and counted on while traveling abroad, yet Steves was so helpful for me who is phobic about being an Ugly American that I had to add him to my list. Read him before you go.

I admit it: I have picked up the book simply for the title. The back door innuendo seemed interesting. This seems to be something different from the regular Hotel and Restaurant Index kind of book. That is a plus. That I started reading it and it became boring. Sure, it's nice to know that there are alternatives to the expensive accommodation in Europe. But than in turns into another "how alternative I can be" with tips like: > I go for safe, central, friendly, local-style hotels, shunning

I dunno of it's bias or not but I love all thongs Rick Steves. He delivers wonderful and concise travel suggestions and tips with a jovial dad like quality. I read this because I love Europe, I love traveling, and I want to sharpen those skills and become a savvy traveler within a budget that I can afford. I want to approach the world as my own backyard and the people within it as friends who's needs I care about and learn the needs of others as well as those of my own. Rick gives all of those

I thought it was a helpful read before going more in depth with my planning.

Read this book in preparation to traveling to Europe. It was a good "prep" book that helped us plan for 2 weeks of travel in Europe. The MOST helpful advice was probably about packing. Used his advice to pack what we really needed and not what we may need. I read the electronic version which had links to other areas of the book. Those were useful to get to specific information, but in the electronic world, it was hard to get back to your original location in the book. Learned to use an

I haven't been to Europe in over 10 years, and this was a really helpful guide to the practical things one needs to know: advice on money, accomodations, travel within Europe and trip planning, as well as some good ideas on where to go. I wish I had read this before I had booked a flight and hotels; there is a lot of information here on how to save money on accomodations and flights. I'm glad I read the book before I packed - I've scaled down my luggage for a two week trip to a single carryon
