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!
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!
Cynthia Harriman writes like she’s giving you advice from your best friend, one who’s been there and done all that and wants to help you have as much fun and adventure. Planning such a trip sounds daunting until you get all your qualms and questions simplified with Take Your Kids to Europe. Huzzahs to Harriman!
