.Venice & the Veneto City Travel Guides > Books > Cadogan by: Dana Facaros, Michael Pauls 1994-02 I love Cadogan guides..they are simply the best on the market because in most instances the authors exhibit an intimate knowledge of the place being reviewed. There are some interesting tips (and snide asides) that have the reader almost laughing out loud! Such a nice change from the usual pablum. My one complaint....why hasn't the Venice guide been updated? We used it on a trip in 1999 (fine then) but when we returned in 2004 we found that several restaurants had changed name and other information was also out of date. Now we're due to go back in 2007 and I assumed there would be a new edition by now..but there isn't. Of course I realize that historical monuments haven't changed in centuries and the publishers probably don't ... Read More: >>See More Reviews & Details on Venice & the Veneto |

.Sicily, 5th City Travel Guides > Books > Cadogan by: Dana Facaros, Michael Pauls March 20, 2006 This guidebook is not only erudite and extremely well written, but it is also a quirky and opinionated look at one of the strangest places in Europe, Sicily. We took this book and used it so much that I cannot imagine making the trip without it. The talent of these writers, in my opinion as a writer, is better than that of any other travel writers I know, indeed better than many journalists. The result is a funny and absolutely first-rate guide, far better than the usual generic things out there. Get it. You won't be disappointed! >>See More Reviews & Details on Sicily, 5th |

.Tuscany, Umbria & the Marches, 8th City Travel Guides > Books > Cadogan by: Dana Facaros, Michael Pauls April 04, 2003 We have used this book to explore the area just south of us for 4 solid years. Every time I open it, I am surprised and delighted at its depth, the authors' erudition, and the daring way in which they are often judgemental about what they observe. Of course, it has all the practical stuff as well, but it is the culture and history that makes this so great. Their eloquence surpasses the medium by several orders of magnitude. Warmly recommended. These are the best travel writers in the business if you are looking for just that unusual perspective to add to your explorations. And you can read it again and again and see more. >>See More Reviews & Details on Tuscany, Umbria & the Marches, 8th |

.Morocco City Travel Guides > Books > Cadogan by: Barnaby Rogerson 1994-04 During a 3 month stay in Morocco 2004, travelling throughout the country- with my only guide book Barnaby I found the following: - historical background complete, interesting and helpful - details re: accommodation/eating often out of date (one recommended hotel in Asni had been closed for 3yrs). - details re: cost often inaccurate. Good only as preparation or background I wouldn't take it as my only guide to Morocco. >>See More Reviews & Details on Morocco |
