 Rick Steves gets it right! October 3, 2008
We just returned from a trip to Europe which included London. Rick's book was a wonderful help to us in planning our sightseeing, learning the Underground, and being all around entertaining. I will certainly purchase other books by him that cover places I will visit. I only wish I had bought it earlier in the planning stages of the trip.
 Hopeless for Kindle September 18, 2008

Kindle version is the pits. No going back and forth, till it's totally read with bookmarks. Maps are impossible to read and are very hard to reference. Pictures, Maps and back and forth reference are wrong for kindle. Until it's book marked and referenced it's useless to travel with.
Don't leave home without it... August 30, 2008
I purchased this book for my first trip overseas. The information was accurate, easy to read and has become a great resource even after my trip for labelling my pictures etc. Rick's recommendations and advice for places to eat, sleep and visit were all without fault. I read the book from cover to cover before I left home and even on a couple of unplanned walks I was able to say "hang on a minute, these's something we need to see near here, I've read about it in the book". Sure enough we were one block away from about 4 sights and we saw them all.
Rick's museum tours were made so much easier with photos of works of art worth seeing and the descriptions were perfect for my previous lack of art appreciation. I would recommended the book to anyone planning a trip to London. The information was so reliable that I wouldn't hesitate to buy the current edition on a return trip to London so I knew I had up-to-date info at my fingertips.
Very helpful travel guide August 17, 2008
Rick Steves gives excellent advice on what are the best sites to see, which are not worth your money, and secrets to make your tour of the city enjoyable. His advice on places to stay are very accurate too. If you are going to London and want a heads-up on the city then I highly recommend you get this book.
Perfect Book July 18, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
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.
