Book Reviews of Rick Steves' Paris 2008
Book Review: Rick Steves Paris 2008
Summary: 5 Stars
After trying several....no, actually A LOT of other guide books over the years, Rick Steves is the only one I use now. I went to Paris in May of 2008 and I can't tell you how much I would have missed if hadn't used his book. It's a great guide book, but it's also a real treat to read; funny, witty, a little wicked. He goes into the history of the area without coming across as preachy or boring.
Needless to say, I would recommend this guide book over all the others.

Book Review: Must Have!
Summary: 5 Stars
I thought this book was really helpful. The maps were great, just wish we had studied them a little more before we went! We had a great time in Paris and took the book with us everywhere we went. It helped us decide (before we went) which sights to see and which to leave out since our time in Paris was short. It also made it easier to find things and get around without wasting a bunch of time going the wrong way. We wouldn't have known about the museum pass without it!

Book Review: A Travel Book For The Rest Of Us
Summary: 5 Stars
If you're traveling to Paris, this is the book for you. Look no further. Mr. Steves offers an everyperson's perspective on the makeup of the city, how to get there, and how to enjoy yourself once you're there; all within thrifty, modest or splurge budgets. From the engaging narrative to the hand-drawn maps, this book is well-constructed, thorough, and insightful. Don't get on the plane without it...Book Review: Great guidance!
Summary: 5 Stars
This was an excellent guide for a trip to Paris for 9 days. We agree with his assessment of each of the recommendations in the book. Where he said not to miss something, we were pleased with that tip. Once in museum or building, his remarks led us to the best spots. Where he said not to go, we knew not to do so. I would recommend this book to all.Book Review: Christmas in Paris
Summary: 5 Stars
I have used Rick Steves book to plan my Paris visit this Christmas, and it has great information for travelers who want to mix with the local culture. I particularly like the all the details he provides because they often make the difference between a 'good' trip and a 'great' trip.
