Very Useful book

This book had places to visit for kids that it I couldn't find in any other travel book. It had great tips on how to entertain kids to how to get kids to try other foods in other countries to how to make it a memorable experience for them as well as you. My only negative about it is that a lot of the suggestions are for kids between the ages of 10 and 16. My children are 3 and 5 so some of it doesn't apply to me, but with the tips she gave, I think I can alter it to my situation.

Recommended Reading for the Once in a lifetime trip

Great Book, going to be invaluable for planning our big family trip. Not all the information is relevant to Australians or anyone other than American's but there is enough in the book that is relevant no matter where you come from to make it a worth while purchase. Needs to expand to include Eastern Europe tho, Given that the former eastern block countries are now the hottest tourist destinations this is a bit of an unfortunate omission. Love the totally Biased guide to each country. Willcome in very handy for chosing where to go and what sites to see to entertain my 10 year old son. Now I just need an RV/Camping book for travelling with Kids and I'll be organised.

A solid base for your travel plans

I bought this book as a supplement to my already strong European travel plans (been before several times) and expected I might get one or two things from it. I was surprised and delighted by the great insights in the book and the time and money we will now save due to the excellent advice on kid-friendly Europe. Our trip will be so much better taking in some of the sights which we would have otherwise missed - such as the cheese and chocolate tour in Switzerland - can't wait!

Wonderful Book!

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. This book was the single best purchase we made as we prepared for our trip. 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. Harriman's suggestions for how to help children adapt quickly to a new home-away-from-home were indispensable. 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. My 10 year old relished the job of "checking the book" and filling us in on our next stop. I cannot overstate how much this book helped us to have a safe and fun adventure. If only life came with a guide this thorough and helpful!
