5.0 out of 5 stars Lets Go Better than the Rest., September 22, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Let's Go 1999: Europe (Paperback)

I was reading through the comments here, and I noticed a lot of people compare Let's Go to other books. I travelled through Europe myself with Let's Go, Lonely Planet and Rick Steves - and found that Let's Go was the best book all around. Lonely Planet had the same unoriginal review for everything, they say everything is "Don't miss" which gives a traveller no insight whatsoever. It's only redeeming value was better maps than Let's Go - however if there is a map in your guidebook (meaning it's a big enough city to have a map in the book) then there is a free map at the train station, airport, hotel/hostel etc... Rick Steve's book was good, but even Rick says to take a Let's Go with you. His books are filler for people with more time. But don't expect his suggestions to be any less crowded - everyone I met in Europe had been to Cinqoterra (only listed in Rick Steve's Back Doors). And they all said it was touristy - imagine a strip of cities jam packed with backpackers - but no tour busses.

4.0 out of 5 stars I WOULDNT DARE GO TO EUROPE WITHOUT IT, November 24, 1999

By

This review is from: Let's Go 1999: Europe (Paperback)

I used this guide for my fist european travel experience and it was extremely helpful. I didnt have much experience and didnt have any plans. I found all the accomodations I stayed in this guide and they were very cheap.Another helpful thing is the phone numbers and the museums schedules. It allows to plan your itinerary before you even get there. I had no idea travelling in Europe could be that cheap.I've used twice ever since and it never fails to be very helpful. The information is around 85% accurate because there were places and prices that didnt agree with the guide's info. But in general I am very grateful to this guide for allowing me to take out the best out of my european trips.

2.0 out of 5 stars An Unoriginal Tour of Europe, May 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Let's Go 1999: Europe (Paperback)

If you are looking for an adventure in Europe, I would suggest you look elsewhere- I would suggest Rick Steves or the Lonely Planet. However, if you are interested in staying at the same places and going to the same attractions as every other American college student backpacking through Europe, this is the book for you.
