I really expected a bit more from a man who’s traveled the world around. But everything he says in here is about how to spend the least amount of money while there. This may be good for a single man, but does it make sense for the rest of us? Unfortunately it doesn’t. I appreciate little tips and tricks, but the entire point of this book was how to be cheap. Not sensible with your money, but cheap. It was disappointing to say the least.

This is a great book for learning travel skills. We are traveling in April to Italy by ourselves and have utilized many of Rick Steve’s tips on planning the trip on our own.

I bought this for my first trip to Europe and it literally holds your hand through the whole process of planning, making reservations, packing, what to see, what not to waste your time on. Invaluable whether it’s your 1st or 21st trip. With this book and Rick Steve’s planning maps, you’re good to go!
