• I love Rick Steves travel shows. His books are even better...great ideas of maneuvering around and best things to see and do.
  I also love that the book is a little smaller which makes it easier to travel with.
• This book was extremely helpful, as its contents are very accurate as my college-age daughter planned a trip to Europe with her boyfriend. It contains a great level of detail and my daughter actually took it with her, and found it to be very valuable and worthwhile for her trip. Rick's books are a great resource, and I would definitely buy them again when the need arises!!! Happy traveling, but only with Rick's books !!!
• Rick Steves tour books are the best! I have used many different tour books for trips to Europe in past years but his are the only ones I buy now! He tells you all the details you need to know. Reading his book is like talking to a friend who knows all about the place you are visiting!
• We have relied on Rick Steves' books since first visiting Europe in 2006. His books have been hugely informative and filled with practical advice. Cannot recommend them highly enough. The only downside is obvious when you go to one of the restaurants he recommends you notice everyone else has a Rick Steves book as well. So it also pays to be adventurous and try places not mentioned in his books. BUT, I would never travel without his book - period!
• These are my "go to" guides for planning European travel vacations! I find it is less expensive and much more enjoyable to book hotels and other lodging directly through Rick's recommended choices. I book months in advance and have a dialogue with our eventual hosts who are happy to share their local tips, favorite places, seasonal festivals, etc.
• This book has a good balance between detail and comprehensiveness, and it includes a chapter on Vienna which, although not part of "Eastern Europe", is close by, and an common destination for many travelers visiting this part of the world.
  
  But, caveat emptor There's no way to tell from the description which version of this book you are actually buying. The most recent edition (7th) was published in June, 2014, but it has the very same ISBN as the version published back in May, 2012 (also called the 7th edition). Between those two versions, however, 80 pages were added. To add to the confusion, currently (as of September 13, 2014) lists this book as having been published in June, 2012 with 1,332 pages, although the copy I just received from was published two years later and is 50 pages longer. To make things even more confusing, the current "Look Inside" display shows a 2010 version of the book!
  
  Rick Steves' publisher does a real disservice to purchasers by retaining the same ISBN through a series of significant updates. If you order directly from Rick Steves' website, you can be sure of getting the latest version, but then you won't get the discount that offers. At the very least, that website will tell you what the latest version is, and you can then decide where to buy it.
• We had the Hungary, Poland and Prague books as well since we were there for months. The Eastern book is a good book, but not needed if you are going to specific countries, but there is not a Slovakia book for example.
• Great Book- lots of important details. Heading for Eastern Europe in October and will know better then how good it is. But seems to be
  exactly what I was looking for.
