Review

I am really glad I bought this book. I also purchased The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World 2008 and Beyond Disney. The latter 2 are Huge books (one of them being over 800 pages of info) full of more info than I can possibly dig into.
This book is great because it is short and to the point telling you the top 10 attractions in many different catergories. I suggest getting this book on top of your Frommers or Unofficial guide as it will help you know what you want to research in the other books.
While there is not a lot of details in this book about each place, it is best used as a guide to figure out what you want to research more into. It also has some really nice fold out laminated maps on the cover which will be so helpful to bring with on our vacation.

Review

My family and I just returned from a long trip to the East Coast, and this was one of the guide books which I found to be informative. It gives a great overview and detailed information on the best places of interest in New England. What I love about these Eyewitness Guides is the great number of full-color pictures of all the places of interest which are a feast for the eyes [most other travel guides do not have many pictures, much less full-color photographs]. Seeing these places in the book helped me [a very visual person] to decide on whether I wanted to visit certain places. There are maps aplenty, though small in size [but handy]. There are extensive reviews of restaurants, places on interest and also hotels, amongst others.
My one complaint is that the addresses for some the places of interest are not detailed for the GPS, i.e. missing zipcodes and such which made it harder for me to locate the exact address on my GPS [a situation remedied by a quick call to said location via the tel no helpfully provided in the guide]. Perhaps the publishers can look into this aspect for future publications. Other than that, this is a beautiful and handy travel guide to New England.

I have several of these travel guides by DK. They are the best in the business. The guides are filled with lots of information and beautiful color photos. They contain not too lenghthy descriptions of points of interest with an abundance of historical background. This guide is ideal for today’s harried tourist with limited time.

I recommend their guides to all my friends.

Review

This nicely practical guide (2009 Edition) makes a solid companion for budget and other travelers visiting the enchanting land called España (Spain). Lonely Planet (LP) specializes in readable, easy-to-use, information, and this is no exception. Readers get at-your-fingertips information on hotels, travel hostels, restuarants, bars, museums, parks, tourist sights, etc. I particularly like the solid information on airports, train and bus stations, plus how to get to and from them (and other locations) via public transportation. There is also useful information on the language, local customs, flavor, prices, manners, etc. You are never travel blind or alone when you have your LP guide, and this updated version does the job. I took this book along during my recent two-week tour (first time in Spain) and was generally quite pleased. Travelers should do themselves the same favor.

This solid guide isn’t perfect. A couple maps are lacking, and when they can’t list every lodging in town, they should say about how many exist. Also, I’d rate Madrid’s Reina Sofia Art Museum (photos permitted) ahead of also-impressive Del Prado and Thyssen (no photos). Hey, no guide is perfect, but this LP guide is well worth the price – just ask the traveler that tried to buy mine on a train from Toledo to Madrid.

Note: Oddly, Amazon lists up front reviews of the long-defunct 1997 edition. This review is for the current 2009 edition.

A refreshing and honest take on the old “guide book” you’ve been reading forever. Everyone knows where to find the museums, restaurants and tourist traps… we’re looking for something genuine and new; and The Pilgrim’s ITALY has it. It’s the fun little nuances and insider information (names, locations and hidden mysteries) in this book that unlock the other side of Italy that you just don’t get anywhere else.

Don’t leave Rome without it!

Overview

This comprehensive travel guide offers all that is needed to visit the profound pilgrimage sites of Italy, meditate on the lives of the saints, and experience their blessings. The authors combine inspiring biographies of dozens of saints with practical tourist information leading the seeker into a world of sacred travel and personal transformation.
