I'm taking a whirlwind European trip that includes a bunch of places not covered in your Best of Europe book. Is this thing worthwhile?

If you're going to at least a handful of places included in Rick Steves Best of Europe, it's probably still a smart buy (you can always tear out the chapters you don't think you'll need). You can supplement your copy of Best of Europe with a combination of Snapshot guides, Pocket guides, city-specific complete guidebooks, and — lightest of all — ebook versions of the guidebooks for your extra destinations.

What's the difference between Rick Steves Best of Europe, Rick Steves Europe Through the Back Door, and Rick Steves' Europe 101?

Rick Steves Best of Europe: An honest-to-goodness guidebook, now in gorgeous full color, with all the specifics on sights, hotels, and restaurants for travelers on a whirlwind trip around western Europe (who don't want to buy — or lug — separate guidebooks for every stop on the way)
Rick Steves Europe Through the Back Door: Our essential handbook for how to plan and enjoy a trip to Europe, designed to be read before you go — with in-depth advice on planning, packing, saving money, avoiding lines, staying healthy, leaping the language barrier, finding a bathroom…and lots more
Rick Steves' Europe 101: Our fun, informative, full-color survey of Europe's art and history — also designed to be read before your trip

Wonderful book. Can’t wait to use on a trip. Hopefully a Rick Steves trip someday.

Great received the items in good time

Thank you

I’ve utilized Rick Steve’s guidance and his travel book has come in immensely handy over the years.

I value the information Rick provides and it’s always been a benefit as I’ve traveled to continent.

Love the book and all of the information that it brings . Thank you so very much.

Wasn't exactly what I was looking for, but still good information.

Very helpful in prioritizing places to visit during a short visit.

When we purchased this, we did not realize that we would be receiving this guidebook as part of the payment for the trip. We later noticed that we would be receiving a guidebook about our trip but figured it would be tailored specifically for our trip. It was not, so we ended up buying a book we did not need and does not include many of the stops on our 21-day trip.

Thank you for reaching out about our Best of Europe Guidebook. We're glad we were able to connect by email and make things right with a refund.
When you're ready to join us on tour, you'll find that your tour account comes with a whole suite of resources that go well beyond the guidebook itself, including destination supplements for every town on your itinerary. We look forward to traveling with you!

OH MY GOSH! I love reading this book, pinpointing where I'll be on my upcoming tour, LEARNING so many new things, all the possibilities, and feel I'll be very prepared to completely immerse myself into the trip. I am very grateful to have received this book so far in advance and I can't wait to GO!!!
Thank you and WOOHOO!!!!!
