I just got back from a trip to Croatia, Slovenia, and Montenegro planned by my wife using this book. The sites, restaurants, and lodging recommended by Steves are exactly how he describes them: interesting and affordable. Exactly what we were looking for.

If you're looking for tips on hot night-life scenes or a hostel hopping trip, this isn't the book for you. It's more for people who enjoy great food, comfortable and clean hotels, and learning about the history and culture of areas they visit.

5.0 out of 5 stars This guide has exactly what you need, June 5, 2007

I've been to Europe 3 times and used National Geographic, Eyewitness and now Rick Steves. Except for the pretty pictures in the other two, they just don't compare to Rick's guide.

If your not familiar with Rick's guids here is the difference: They are written from the point of view of a real traveler.

This guide tells you (in ricks opinion and/or his staff) what's worth seeing, how to get there, where to stay, where to eat. Second it goes so far as to give hours, email, phone and real prices (as well as comments like "overly perfumed rooms") for every hotel/restaurant in the book. This is exactly the insight you need when your showing up in a foreign country and a big step above the generic information found in other guides.

I highly recommend that if you're going to buy this book, you do it before you book a single thing on your trip.

I was in Montenegro for business and took a 3-day trip to see Dubrovnik. This guidebook was excellent for seeing the town. You don't need any other guidebook. Additionally, it was perfect for touring the "Bay of Kotor" area of Montenegro, which is a popular day-trip from Dubrovnik.
