Reviews by readers

Perfect trip planning guide

My mother and I will be in London for one week with four of her grand-children in their twenties. We are using this book as our planning guide before arriving in London. This is the only book of the many I checked out from the library that I am buying. It is easy to understand and covers the main points of interest. I've been to London before but I needed help being the tour guide. We will be concerned with money, time and interest of the different personalities. This book was written for younger children but I think it is for families of any age.

A great help in planning a great trip

Our family went to London last summer, and this book helped to make it a great experience. This is the book that made us think about renting a flat (what we'd call an apartment here)instead of staying in an hotel. It was excellent advice, and really paid off for us. We loved the line drawings in the book, and are still laughing over the one in the section that discusses making sure you are renting a space with enough beds - one rather disgruntled family member is clearly sleeping on the floor. As other reviewers have noted, the book is longer on advice about how to approach planning the trip than on specifics of Web sites or particular vendors, but it's excellent advice.

This book is way too basic

Don't waste your time or money on this book. First of all it tells you not to bother going to London if you have children under 10. Excuse me? The title is therefore misleading. Here are some samples of thier "novel" advice: split up your group if you can't decide where to go. Pack a lunch when planning a day of sight-seeing. I spent 10 days in London with a 20 month old and 4 year old and did very well by Rick Steves' book. This one stayed in the apt. There are no websites listed for any of their recomendations, where as Rick will set you up.
