"The Great Escape is a wonderful how-to guide for leaving work behind. It’s full of tips – all of those “little details” - that can be forgotten in the rush to leave town. The format makes it easy to find any recommendation you might need for less stressful travel."

- David E. W. Price, II, Secrétaire Général du Comité des Jumelages et Relations Internationales de la Ville d'Avignon and contributor to Rick Steves France and Rick Steves Provence

“I’ve read a lot of travel books, but yours stands out. You have as much story-telling as advice-giving. It’s compelling, and you give practical advice.

I have the travel bug real bad now! And I also want a glass of wine.”

- Mary E. Howell, Copy Editor

“I was excited yet nervous about my first trip to Europe. As a small-business owner, I was particularly concerned about how I would put my company on ‘autopilot’ for two weeks. The Great Escape quickly turned into my field manual. I put Helene Segura’s tips into place, took a deep breath and left all my worries back in the States while I enjoyed the sights, sounds and tastes of Europe! When I got back, my clients were all smiles and we jumped back into their projects without a hitch. I had an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime experience thanks to The Great Escape!”

- Derek Hart, Creative Director at Get the Gigs
