5.0 out of 5 stars It pays for itself, 14 May 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Paris 1999 (Rick Steves' Paris, 1999) (Paperback)
We just returned from Paris. We used this book continously, even when we found ourselves a little overwhelmed by other readers following the course. Where this book is particularly useful is at the many sites that can be appreciated only by paying for an English language guidebook. My wife bought a book at Versailles only to hear me read more detail and history from Rick's book.

Beware. Rick has a cult following. If you stay at the Leveque or eat at one of his restaurant recommendations, prepare to be surrounded by Rick Steves groupies. But, buy this book and save yourself time, money and effort around Paris.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely helpful, fun guide to Paris!, 30 April 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Paris 1999 (Rick Steves' Paris, 1999) (Paperback)
We just visited Paris for the first time and this book was an invaluable guide! It has wonderful general information along with step-by-step guides for tours and walks through Paris. Of all the information I read for our trip, this was by far the best help. Our copy is dog-eared from continual use throughout our stay. Without doubt this guide helped us maximize our time and see the best of Paris!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best Paris guide yet...., 22 Feb 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Paris 1999 (Rick Steves' Paris, 1999) (Paperback)
...and I've read quite a few of them. This seems to be the best for the "common-man" trip to Paris. The information is very practical, honest and concise. Rick knows what is possible and worthwhile in Paris, and clearly sets it forth here. Rick is not trying to cram every last detail into a guide, but rather includes the more significant sites as well as the "back doors" he's well-known for finding. In addition, this guide is so readable, it reads more like a (sometimes tongue-in-cheek) travel narrative than ordinary travel guides (that often read like history texts!)

Included are some great tips on how to avoid lines and crowds as best you can, great opening times and days of all sites; logical, detailed walking tours; and hints on where clean and convenient restrooms are! What more do you need? While the others (Fodors, Frommers) focus on what is the best regardless of cost, Rick uncovers some gems that others may never find on their own, and lets us know that they are good and less expensive while helping us logically "attack" Paris as a tourist! This book is WELL worth the money!

3.0 out of 5 stars No more Rick Steves for me
