I’ve been lucky enough to visit just about every place in this book, and I enjoyed the walk down memory lane.

I've read the "real" book twice, and thought I would enjoy hearing Rick telling his stories and I did! But the recording quality is not great... still, not bad for 6 bucks!

Entertaining

1. The audio is poor. You have to adjust your bass to get it beyond annoying to bearable.
2. After 25 years of travel, you challenge your listeners to meet locals, yet you stick with friends you made on your first journeys. That’s great, but can’t you add to your friend base and maybe add some new adventures as well? There are quite a few stories that are new, of course, but those 4-5 stories that I’m sure are quite treasured are repeated in at least two of the three books he currently has on audible.
3. In response to the review that claims Rick condescends in this book, I can’t say that I felt the same. I felt it was a typical Rick Steves book, and his telling here has the same feel as his many television shows.

I really do hope Rick writes another book like “For The Love of Europe,” with different cities, sites, and adventures! I’ve listened to that book so many times I could probably recite it lol! (I’m in the car for work about 60 hours per week delivering and earning money to visit Europe again)

Rick Steves does it again with his brilliant and soothing voice discussing travel tips and experiences. I love listening to this around the house or when trying to sleep. “AUDIBLE 20 REVIEW SWEEPSTAKES ENTRY”

Listening to Rick describe his travels and the people took me back to 1998 when my husband and I backpacked in Germany. I too sent a lot of postcards, and each Christmas hang small postman and cuckoo clock ornaments on the tree and carefully place a miniature nativity on the buffet. Sweet memories.

Fond Memories

The often kitchy and well known PG travel writter reads his classic route through Europe with tales from his first experiences in Europe. I like Rick for his simple and honest way of breaking down travel in Europe. If you are a fan of his Public TV series then you will like this and if your not, you will be suprised. For dreamers and travelers alike.

This is a short audiobook with clips of stories from Rick Steves’ Travels in Europe. The book appears to have been written in the 1980s so it is somewhat dated. It is an easy read and I have been on five Rick Steves’ Tours. So if you enjoy travel writing This is the book for you
