Well. I was a gullible sucker for traveling guides. This book isnt worth much of your money. Rick implied that Eurail “can be dizzying to your IQ…” so is his style of speaking and marketing his products. It is a grave sin for someone who could write a book truthfully and straightforward these days. BLAME ON Morality restrictions and limitations for the 21st century of human kind which enhance the opportunity to explore wealth to spectrums. I could not get a straight answer/knowledge of simple instructions for the Eurail passes. Round trip price or one way? how does it work? – in simple terms not his dizzying terms? And so much for the marketing of his travel knowledge and experience and products and profit sharing of his affiliations in Italy,France, and so on. Well if you want Rick Steve or other traveling guides to be rich because of your naivety or limited knowledge of Europe, continue to buy these books. Find a good travel agent and take your chance for a first time and rely on your intuition. It is much better than these limited-morality morons.

As my title suggests, this is absolutley the worst travel book that I have ever read. I have taken numerous trips abroad but this was my first to Italy. I must say that following Mr. Steve’s information was the biggest mistake I have ever made. I got lost numerous times, thrown in jail, and almost didn’t make it out of the country. All in all, not a great piece of literature.

The sad fact about travel guides is that they’re all, well, exactly alike. Rick Steves in particular reads like your average phone book of Italian listings. It’s virtually indistinguishable from Rough Guide or Lonely Planet. No humor, no personality.
Rating: 1 / 5
Can’t beat Rick Steve’s for the itineraries and common sense advice. Skip his restaurent recs for the simple reason that everyone else with a Rick Steve’s book is flocking to the same place, which has inevitably become a tourist trap by the time you get there. Also check out the tips on his Web site.
Great companion to his book (for history and detailed info about your destinantion) are the Rough Guides.
