If you have never been to Europe and you are now going with kids, it might be a good read. I bought this book after several friends raved over it and in my opinion it did not live up to the hype at all. If only life came with a guide this thorough and helpful! I cannot overstate how much this book helped us to have a safe and fun adventure. My 10 year old relished the job of "checking the book" and filling us in on our next stop. We used TYKE to pick the cream of the crop of sites to visit and then used the DK Eyewitness Travel Guides: Great Britain Great Britain (Eyewitness Travel Guides) for additional information and photos of each excursion. Harriman's suggestions for how to help children adapt quickly to a new home-away-from-home were indispensable. The book helped us to set up an accurate budget, buy and sell our car, camp our way across Wales and the Lake District, rent housing for our stay in the UK, and rent an apartment in Paris for a week. This book was the single best purchase we made as we prepared for our trip. If you are planning an extended stay in Europe with children, you need this book! Take Your Kids to Europe, 7th: How to Travel Safely (and Sanely) in Europe with Your Children (Take Your Kids to Europe) My 3 school-age children and I have just returned from a 4-month trip to the UK.
