Reviews by readers

Very helpful!

Unfortunately, the only well-worn portion of my book is the 'London' section, but the rest will eventually get used! This book was such a great help to me in not only finding a moderately priced hotel (prices...yikes!) but in getting to all the places I wanted to see. The color maps of London and the Tube system up front are easily accessible! If I needed a quick look at a map, they were right up front so I didn't have to dig through the book and stand out as a tourist.

A great guide with only one flaw.

My buddy and I just got back from our trip to the U.K. We used this book almost exclusively and it was a huge help in planning our time. The only flaw is that there is very little info on the eastern portion of the big Island from lower Scotland to Cambridge.

The reason for this omission is clear. There's not much to see in north east England. The problem is that a drive from Edinburg to Cambridge is stretching the limits of time spent in a car, in a foreign country, on the wrong side of the road. This omission left us to our own devices for one night's stay and it wasn't very much fun looking for lodging after eight.

Other than that the book was great. We went through lower left England then up through Whales and Scotland then back down to all the major schools and cities on the lower right. Through everything, Rick Steves got us where we wanted to go and helped us find good food and accomodations.

I'm happy to report that we saw everything we'd hoped to see and discovered quite a few other amazing locations using this book. I'd reccomend it to anyone who is planning a trip to the U.K.

One quick tip. Give yourself plenty of time to read this thing before you go and make reservations for where you'd like to stay the first and last night of your trip. In the middle Rick Steve gives you plenty of good advice about where to stay and what to see and do. Good book, great trip. Happy travels!
