Made My Trip

This book was very helpful in making my first trip to Europe enjoyable and accessible.

Very helpful!

This book is great! It helped us to know where to go at each location in order to find accessible entrances and special rates. It made our vacation a real success. London was especially accessible and the people were very helpful. There are family bathrooms everywhere in London. Paris was a little more difficult but still nice.

Very Helpful

This book is helping me plan a trip to Europe with my Aunt, who is a great travel companion, but doesn't quite have the physical stamina of years past. I like the accessibility codes, and recomendations for "easy access" Euro cities. My Aunt likes the larger type. Really a useful book.
