4 out of 5 stars great britain 2008   April 7, 2008
  3 out of 3 found this review helpful

Not a bad book all round. Disappointed there is nothing much about Cornwall though. This is one of the areas we plan to focus on.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent resource!   April 4, 2008

Excellent resource for anyone planning a first trip or their 10th trip to the UK. Price wise it's a steal for the wealth of information it contains. In addition to places to see, how to get there, where to stay, eating and entertainment, Rick also includes historical and cultural information to enrich your travel experience.


3 out of 5 stars decent but not thorough   March 5, 2008
  4 out of 6 found this review helpful

I really like this travel guide for the parts of Great Britain it actually covers. But Rick Steve is a bit too opinionated and therefore completely omits parts of the country that aren't his favorites. For example, there is no mention of Oxford, Brighton, Dover, or Canterbury in this book. No offense, Ricky dear, but since Tolkien and Lewis lived in Oxford, I sure as heck am not going to settle for visiting Cambridge!
