Reviews"Every country-specific travel guidebook from the Rick Steves publishing empire can be counted upon for clear organization, specificity and timeliness."-- Society of American Travel Writers, "Pick the best accommodations and restaurants from Rick Steves...and a traveler searching for good values will seldom go wrong or be blindsided."-- NBC News, "Being Rick Steves takes a lot of work. He spends three months of the year overseas, researching, writing, recording, refining tours, updating guidebooks.... But his mission has remained the same: to be the best resource for European travel and help Americans travel better."-- The Washington Post, "Travel, to Steves, is not some frivolous luxury--it is an engine for improving humankind, for connecting people and removing their prejudices, for knocking distant cultures together to make unlikely sparks of joy and insight. Given that millions of people have encountered the work of Steves over the last 40 years, on TV or online or in his guidebooks, and that they have carried those lessons to untold other millions of people, it is fair to say that his life's work has had a real effect on the collective life of our planet."-- The New York Times Magazine, "Steves is an absolute master at unlocking the hidden gems of the world's greatest cities, towns, and monuments."-- USA Today, "Steves is a walking, talking European encyclopedia who yearns to inspire Americans to venture 'beyond Orlando.'"-- Forbes, "[Rick Steves] laces his guides with short and vivid histories and a scholar's appreciation for Renaissance art yet knows the best place to start an early tapas crawl in Madrid if you have kids. His clear, hand-drawn maps are Pentagon-worthy; his hints about how to go directly to the best stuff at the Uffizi, avoid the crowds at Versailles and save money everywhere are guilt-free."-- TIME Magazine, "His guidebooks are approachable, silly, and even subtly provocative in their insistence that Americans show respect for the people and places they are visiting and not the other way around."-- The New Yorker, "His penchant for creating meaningful experiences for travelers to Europe is as passionate as his inclination for making ethical choices his guiding light."-- Forbes, "...he's become the unofficial guide for entire generations of North American travelers, beloved for his earnest attitude and dad jeans."-- Outside Magazine, "His books offer the equivalent of a bus tour without the bus, with boiled-down itineraries and step-by-step instructions on where to go and how to get there, but adding a dash of humor and an element of choice that his travelers find empowering."-- The New York Times, "[Rick Steves'] neighborhood walks are always fun and informative. His museum guides, complete with commentary about historic sculpture and storied artworks are wonderful and add another dimension to sometimes stodgy, hard-to-comprehend museums."-- NBC News
