About the Author

Rick Steves has spent 100 days every year since 1973 exploring Europe. Rick produces a public television series (Rick Steves' Europe), a public radio show (Travel with Rick Steves), and an app and podcast (Rick Steves Audio Europe); writes a bestselling series of guidebooks and a nationally syndicated newspaper column; organizes guided tours that take thousands of travelers to Europe annually; and offers an information-packed website (RickSteves.com). With the help of his hardworking staff of 80 at Europe Through the Back Door—in Edmonds, Washington, just north of Seattle—Rick's mission is to make European travel fun, affordable, and culturally broadening for Americans.

Cameron Hewitt writes and edits guidebooks for Rick Steves' Europe. He first visited Budapest on a lark in 1999… and now he can't stay away. From Budapest's colorful and quirky history, to its grandiose architecture, to its mouthwatering food, to its uniquely enjoyable thermal baths, Cameron can't get enough of this enthralling, enigmatic, exhilarating city. When he's not on the road, Cameron lives in Seattle with his wife, Shawna.

Great Guide to some Great Places to Visit!
Classic Rick Steves'. This is a great reference to use both in the planning and during your trip. Filled with on-point recommendations, and helpful maps that have points of interest and even recommended restaurants included. Was helpful throughout our trip, (Lake Bled, Ljubljana, Zegreb, Plitvice Lakes, Split, Hvar, Dubrovnik). Highly recommend both Croatia and Slovenia, and highly recommend this book. We actually tore sections out of the book for each of our destinations, just to have less to carry around in our day bags (and to be less obnoxiously conspicuous as another tourist with a Rick Steves' book!) Great guide.Picture is view of Hvar harbor from our $35 per night room! Amazing!

5.0 out of 5 stars I Love Croatia (and this book)
Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2014

If you are going to do Slovenia and Croatia on your own, this book is extremely helpful. We just got back from a trip of five days in Croatian Dalmatian coast and 2 days in Slovenia with a day of travel in between the two. We were there at the end of September which is an excellent time to visit as far as not having to deal with crowds except for Dubrovnik. We flew into Dubrovnik and stayed there for 3 days before renting a car and driving up the coast to Orebic across the water from Korcula for 2 days. We then took a drive up to Lake Bled in Slovenia where we stayed at Pension Mayer for two days. The book was extremely helpful in regards to picking restaurants to eat at and activities to do. It was also extremely helpful to avoid crowds. Dubrovnik was bad during the day with all the cruise ship passengers coming into town so we did some simple but very enjoyable day excursions to get away from Dubrovnik Cavtat, Lokrum, Zaton Bay Sea Kayaking (Sea Kayaking through Huck Finn Croatia and not Steve recommendation). We walked the wall early (at 8 am) before all the cruise ship passengers came in (as Steve recommends) and that was a spot on recommendation. The only lodging recommendation we took from the book was Pension Mayer in Lake Bled which I would definitely recommend. Basic room but reasonable prices, excellent breakfast and restaurant and good location for checking out Lake Bled. Hindsight is 20/20 but if I had to do it all over again I think I would have spent all my time in Croatia. Slovenia is awesome but to me the Dalmatian Coast is pretty unique - very beautiful, the water is a little cool 72-75 degrees Farenheit but definitely swimmable, one of the cleanest seas in the world and no worry of shark attacks (only one type of smallish shark with no documented history of shark attacks). The coast is rocky so I would recommend bringing or buying a pair of water shoes. Didn't get to do Istria, Plitvice or trips to Mostar (in Bosnia) or Montenegro which I would definitely like to do as this book recommends (if you have sufficient time).

5.0 out of 5 stars We love Rick
Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2014

Just returned from Montenegro, Bosnia, Croatia and Slovenia and Rick was our constant companion. This is not a small or particularly light book but we took it everywhere even the steepest hikes. We have come to rely on Rick's guidebooks and find his information to be current, his tastes and insights to match ours (global, liberal, compassionate). In Mostar we read about its recent wartime history and had a better understanding of what happened and why without Rick taking sides or preaching. Not an easy thing to do and certainly not something our conversations with residents provided us. So we love Rick and all his guides and in the Adriatic he is current, accurate and very helpful. The Adriatic countries are amazing and will give Italy a run for the tourist dollar once they catch on with American as main-stream. Quck, get there yourselves before that happens!

4.0 out of 5 stars Although Mr Steves provides most of time quite useful amount of tips and hints for travelling families
Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2015

Overall, this guide book was helpful, which is about 80 % of time. We just left Croatia, so I believe this my opinion is based on fresh impressions and not too biased.

Although Mr Steves provides most of time quite useful amount of tips and hints for travelling families, a few more would be nice to include. For instance, nearby Split there is town called Omis, with semi-sandy (Croatia is mostly pebbly on the shore) beaches. Shore between Omis and Split is same, - shallow waters, sandy or pebbly beaches, with lots of apartments, villas for rent, - a big hot spot for vacationing families. We found this place by accident, and if not running out of time would love to stay there longer. No word about Omis there was in the book. Also, the town was famous for its pirate brigade, and we found a small show for kids, including a boat ride, dinner with pirates etc. - a bit cheesy, but kids were delighted. Again, no line about in the guidebook.

Personally speaking, we found Omis resort area nicer, than one Steves recommends, towards south, Dubrivnik area. Waters at Dubrovnik Riviera are magical blue, clear, and so beautiful, however, shore is very rocky most of time, and going to a nice spot often turns into rock climbing. Not much reflection we found in the book. Also,independently of the guide book, fyi - if you are on a rented car,and driving coastal highways past state A1, there is a 5 km stretch in town of Neum belonging to Bosnia, that you have to cross, and not every car rental agency allows this detour. We ended up taking a ferry from Ploce to Trpan, in order to avoid going through Bosnia.

Do not take me wrong, Dubrovnik itself is a beautiful town, especially for those who follow the Game of Thrones saga. It was worth to visit. Another thing, which the guide book might benefit from - a small village Cilipi, next to Dubrovnik airport, running a folklore show with traditional dances, wine tasting, a beautiful museum - every Sunday from April to October. Again, not mentioned in this guide book, despite regular group tours from Dubrovnik.

Overall, I would recommend this guide book as an additional source to Lonely Planet guide, or Internet based tourist resources.

2.0 out of 5 stars Strange Concept
Reviewed in Germany on July 30, 2015
Verified Purchase
The guide may be a good choice for those travellers who want to exactly follow the recommendations of the author. But the book is by no means a complete description of the interesting places in Slovenia & Croatio (as guides usually are). If you deviate from the route the authors describes you will get no information on all the other interesting places you could reach in these countries. Therefore, due to the strange concept of this guide it was unfortunately not very useful for our travel.
