.Philippines Guide
City Travel Guides > Books > Open Roads
by: Jill Gale De Villa, Rebecca Gale De Villa

1997-06
We were being assigned to the Philippines and I browsed through all the travel books available on the country. I chose this (the first edition) because i liked the way it was written and that the writers live in the Philippines. Let me tell you, I was not disappointed! In fact i found both the information provided and the personalized descriptions of places to stay and eat very helpful. When the second edition came out i bought it and passed on my old copy to a friend. The 2nd edition has new information (unlike others that i have found are almost completely re-writes of past editions) and continues to be a more personal travel guide. I will be sorry to leave the country and this book has helped my family enjoy our travels.

.Paris With Kids
City Travel Guides > Books > Open Roads
by: Valerie Gwinner

June 27, 2006
On the plus side, this book has some good suggestions and fairly comprehensive.
On the down side, it makes no mention of Disneyland Paris, a glaring omission in a book titled "Paris with kids"
The maps (especially) and overall text are superior in "Take the kids Paris" in my opinion.

.Walt Disney World Guide
City Travel Guides > Books > Open Roads
by: Jay Fenster

1993-10
This book goes farther in scope than a lot of other Disney guides I've read, especially the Birnbaum and Selinger books. Not only does this book cover every last corner of Disney World with honest reviews and opinions that'd make Mike Eisner cringe, but it also discusses Universal and SeaWorld plus both the big and little attractions that make Central Florida such a wonderful vacation spot. If you want to look beyond the obvious, there's something for every taste in this book. Speaking of tastes, you'll especially enjoy the sections on restaurants. Very useful, with lots of specific money saving tips for every part of the trip. Whatever your pleasure - this book lays out your options in an entertaining, fun, organized fashion.

.Italy Guide, 4th Edition
City Travel Guides > Books > Open Roads
by: Douglas E Morris

May 07, 2002
I planned a self guided tour of Italy this past October/November. In addition to the Open Road guide, I purchased Frommer's 2001 Italy guide book. The Open road book is very well organized and written, providing an overview of Italian history, food and culture. A suggested itinerary is provided for each major city and the recomendations contained therein are invaluable. The reviews of hotels and restaurants are accurate and reflect a range of prices and styles, with an emphasis on the off the beaten path local joints. They even have suggested dishs to order and the best rooms to request.

My trip was a smashing success and I used this book for the majority of my planning.

.Thailand Guide, 2nd Edition
City Travel Guides > Books > Open Roads
by: Louis Bechtel

November 25, 1999
Yes, the Second Edition of my Thailand Guide was published July 2000. I added about 50 new pages, updating material including detailed diagrams of Old Sukhothai (as I recall, you suggested this one), Wat Po, Wat Phra Khao and the Grand Palace, the National Museum, a map and suggested tour of the Canals of Thonburi, a map of the Skytrain, improved the index, etc. Very little new on the Myanmar section. I spent equivalent time of 64 8-hour days for the update. Now you know.
