Customer Reviews

good guide

I went to Rome and I found some very reasonable priced (but very good) restaurants and cafees with this guide. It does not say much about the history of Rome, but it is a good idea to go for this guide if you want to avoid the turist traps.

Let's Go Western Europe

A must for backpackers and other travelers on a budget who want to "go behind the scenes" and see more of the real Europe.

A Traveler's Bible

This was, by far, the most useful thing I took with me on my two-month trip to Europe. I honestly don't know what I would have done without it. If you plan to backpack or work your way through Estern Europe on a shoestring budget, this is the perfect start. It's very easy to use, with sections divided by country, city, and if necessary, sections of the larger cities. It has great information on the best (and cheapest, if that's your goal) hostels, places to eat, and activites. I book almost all of my hostels using the up-to-date information. Each chapter on a country has a small section about the language, with hints on how to pronounce useful phrases like "I'm fine, thank you", or "where is the bathroom?". It also includes directions and maps to hostels and other landmarks that were detailed and, for the most part, easy to follow. Sometimes it was a little off on the pricing, but that's to be expected when prices change seasonally in touristy places. I liked this book much better than the Lonely Planet book I bought, and much, much better than the Frommer's book I had. It's a must-have for any savvy traveler.

GREAT!!!!

This book has all the spots you need to know about especially the cheap ones and they're good quality. It tells you what to see, how to get there, costs, and maps. It give a lot of details...The book is huge but it is not heavy. Since I was only going to 2 countries, I ripped off the pages and left the book at home. Cafe Med in Paris is excellent-3 course meal for 10 euros and in a very expensive area (in the island, two blocks away from Notre Dame).

travel bible!

this became our travel bible over my backpacking trip, never left the hostel with out it!
