Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Must Have! Comment: 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! --Ember Customer Rating: Summary: Hard to follow Comment: The book was a helpful tool while in Paris, However, if one is not wanting to walk one's legs off, maybe it is not the very best book. Some of the directions were not that easy to follow. It is a must to have a book of this nature but last time we used Frommer's and would probably use that one again opposed to Rick Steve's. Customer Rating: Summary: Paris...here I come! Comment: I was apprehensive about a surprise trip to Paris with absolutely no idea what to expect and no French language ability but after reading this book I'm ready to go and have the time of my life! Customer Rating: Summary: Beware!! Comment: Rick Steves books are definitely overrated. Amazon had several reviews of positive ratings for his books. I would not recommend any of his books. His Paris travel book is modest at best.It does not offer direct and clear picture of Paris. His major weakness is the lack of good detailed maps. Do not buy this book. In Paris you can easily get free street and metro maps.Not only are they free but very practical. Customer Rating: Summary: Our Paris 'Bible' Comment: I purchased this book for my first trip from Australia. The information was accurate, easy to read and has become a great resource even after my trip for labelling my pictures etc. It has worn very well considering how many times I have referred to it. Rick's recommendations and advice for places to eat, sleep and visit were all without fault. I read the book from cover to cover before left home. Rick's museum tours were made so much easier with photos of works of art worth seeing and the descriptions were perfect for my previous lack of art appreciation. I have recommended the book to many people planning a trip to Paris. The information was so reliable that I would not hesitate to buy a current edition on a return trip to Paris so I knew I had up to date info at my fingertips. More Reviews
