Okay if you want everyday tourist activities.

This was very disappointing.  Politicians were interviewed, Maori spiritualism was spread thinly on top, but in the end it was mostly bunjie jumping, boat rides, fishing, lodging, etc.  Not much scenery, a lot of talking.  "Richard Bangs is Indiana Jones with a conscience.".  What marketing guru cooked that one up ?  The front cover shows him standing on a glacier, but most of the time he was walking city streets, in a restaurant, or looking at rooms in some hotel.

nice map and good for  highlights of the city, especially if you're only going to be there for a few days.

Easy to spot on a baggage carousel, good if you are regularly going from A to B regularly, otherwise not that useful as you can't change the address on them.

This gives you some tips that you might otherwise not already know.  For the most part it is written in everyday language and not a lot of technical words that one wouldn't know.

The pronunciation is well explained and there are enough basics to be polite and ask occasional questions. Not needed in the main tourist areas, but this could save your biscuits if you get away from cities. The small two-way dictionary is well chosen and a real plus.

Ehh...its a cheap watch to wear here and there and now and then. Cheaply made, but, looks okay. Probably not durable enough to be an everyday watch.

Not that useful for our purposes: some traditional tourist advice - mixed with a lot of bravado. Maybe this book would serve newbies who are going to Vegas with a group of guys - "hot waitresses dressed like cheerleaders make Blondie's a lot of fun". Overall, I prefer Fodor's.

These look pretty costumey... If that's what you're going for, great. If not these are a little silly for everyday wear

This is a rather interesting travel guide with some unique idea of organizing and presenting the tourist attractions in Paris. The book features 39 attractions organized as flip-through cards in spiral bound format. The main section of the book have the pages sliced into 3 separate cards per page. These cards are organized into morning activities at the top, afternoon activities in the middle and evening activities at the bottom. Not all 39 attractions are unique though. For example, Eiffel Tower appears twice - one for morning and one for evening. On the left page each card has the name and picture of an attraction along with a brief description. On the right page, the corresponding card shows a longer description, a small local map just enough to show your bearings and a close-by restaurant/cafe suggestion. Once you've found your perfect activities for the day, you can use the built-in black ribbon bookmark to hold the cards, and then use the outer elastic band to keep all the pages down so that you won't lose the chosen cards.

The first page of the book is a tri-fold that contain somewhat confusing and useless instructions. On the other side of the tri-fold is a numbered list of the 39 attractions and a simple map showing their location in Paris so that you can pull out and get a sense of where they are as you are flipping through the cards. Next is the main section of the book where the cards are organized. At the end is the usual informational section such as getting around, shopping, need to know, etc. This information is really too short to be useful. It's still better than nothing.

The transport planner is an interesting but confusing feature in this book. It is basically a pointer on a morning or afternoon card to the afternoon or evening card below that shows an estimated travel time between the two attractions. I'm not sure how accurate it is. It should be able to give you an idea of the minimum travel time required.

The book includes a pull-out map that you can tear out from the spiral. It's small and flimsy, nowhere nearly as good as those city maps you can buy at the newsstands. The book does come with a free download of the Make My Day app for iOS and Android. Surprisingly, I found the map more informative and useful than the app.

All in all, this is an interesting travel guide. I can see its usefulness if you just need a simple quick guide to pick a few attractions to spend the day leisurely. It's overly simple and doesn't describe much about the attractions. If you prefer to plan ahead and maximize your itinerary, you can probably do better when the regular Lonely Planet Paris guide instead.

I have been to China and was looking for a travel guide to recommend to a friend. This book does include some useful information in a few specific areas, such as bathrooms and the airport. Unfortunately, most of book is comprised of complaints about Chinese people, and the authors seem primarily concerned with guiding tourists in the art of avoiding dealing with everyday Chinese people, in order to better enjoy the Great Wall. If you plan on a tourist's vacation to historic sights and insist on maintaining your comfortable lifestyle, you may find parts of the book useful and may not be bothered by the sometimes insulting humor. If you plan to travel to China to live among and learn from the Chinese, I recommend that you look for a more serious guide.

It was okay.  Some of the stores were interesting, some just a little weird.

Most of it is a an advertisement for french businesses.  great if you are planning a trip to france.  But for the rest of us..not so much.

but not as much as I expected.  It does show a lot of different places so it's a nice read and can give you some vacation ideas.  Could be organized into smaller regions to make it easier to pinpoint places of interest in different areas.  As it is the regions are large--too large to hit many different sights on a "day trip".  A good vacation planner though.  Also wish it included more details on hiking paths, but that's only a personal wish.  It's a good value if you don't have to pay the full retail price.

It's nice but not very durable and a bit small. If you are looking for something for a quick day trip, it will serve your purpose. If you are looking for something to travel with, I would keep looking.

As someone who has already been to Iceland, I was hoping (based on the quick preview on Amazon) that this book would be a little more insightful to find outdoor activities or local suggestions for food and to-do. Meh. If you are a person who wants to hit the main attractions, eat, and find a good hotel, this book may be really helpful. The directions to each place are clear, it covers the whole island, there are a few suggestions for things to do, places to eat and stay.
However, we found many things just by visiting local cafes or visitor's centers or just driving around aimlessly that could have been included, or at least alluded to in this book. If you're going to write a guide book for the country, you should know about most/all of the major hiking locations and attractions. These attractions were very limited and typically were for paid tours in the area. For example, in Snfellsnes Peninsula, there is a TON of hiking and things to see and towns to visit. Not only was it not noted which restaurants/attractions were closed in winter, but many areas weren't even mentioned. In our experience, as people who prefer a more "wild" adventure to Iceland, it's better to grab a coffee at some small place and chat with the locals about what hikes or areas they suggest rather than trying to read your way around an entire country.
