Reseñas de la Crítica

"Enjoyable and fascinating." (AudioFile)

Entertaining!

Rick Steves is the master of making you experience travel throughout three written word. His wit kept me interested in the smallest details of his travel. Well done.

Entertaining

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!

Audio is poor, stories retold in other audible book

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)

Quite Enjoyed Rick Steves' Postcards from Europe
