 A Travel Book For The Rest Of UsDec 29, 2007
By D. C. Foster
If you're traveling to London, this is the book for you. Look no further. Mr. Steves offers an everyperson's perspective on the makeup of the city, how to get there, and how to enjoy yourself once you're there; all within thrifty, modest or splurge budgets. From the engaging narrative to the hand-drawn maps, this book is well-constructed, thorough, and insightful. Don't get on the plane without it...

Just returned from London...Apr 01, 2008
By ~JudyR
...where my family of 5 stayed for 7 days. We took a DK guide book, Frommer's guide book and this one. We favored Steves' book so much that by the end of the week we were carrying only this book and didn't bother looking at the others. For any future trips I will invest in Rick Steves' book first and only.

Perfect BookJul 18, 2008
By travlin5
I am in London right now delighted with how helpful this book is. Many guide books try to give too much information and end up more like phone books. This book is perfect in that it gives you the most important information about what is worth seeing. His tips on saving time and money are right on. This is the best book you will find for a visit to London.

Best London guide - no questionMay 31, 2008
By Nelson T. Floyd
My wife and I returned for our 4th trip to London last spring and the most current edition of this book has always gone with me. I tear it apart while I'm there, taking sections with me for the day as I explore. It is updated annually so I always get the newest version before I leave. Rick's guides are not comprehensive - they don't list every hotel or eatery - but they do filter out the best ones in each area of town and that is what I want in a guide book. Recommendations on hotels, sites, local culture and transportation are more valuable than those on eateries. Maps are simple but accurate, providing enough direction to keep you from getting lost while still encouraging you to wander a bit and discover your own gems. There is a heavy emphasis on history, the arts and experiencing life with the locals. The abbreviated tours - like the one of the National Gallery - help you see the "best of" the site when you don't have time to see it all. First timers, don't leave home without it.

By Nancy A. Gomulinski
Rick Steves gives the best advice for travel. We have always used his books and we were never disappointed in the recommendations he makes. Would not travel without the advice from his guide books.
