There is no one more respected in the world of travel journalism than Rick Steves, and here are 4 of his celebrated travel guides for the United Kingdom. These guides update yearly, so pay attention to the year you are purchasing. Steves is bright, articulate, funny, and his recommendations focus on ecofriendly, local tourism. Steves is about experiencing culture, not tourist traps. Featured for this post are his London, Great Britain, Scotland, and Ireland guides (yes, we acknowledge that only Northern Ireland is part of the Commonwealth, but here is the guide for the whole country).
