From the Publisher: There is a passion for travel and discovery at Footprint that has been reflected in our publishing since the South American Handbook was first published back in 1924. More than 80 years on, our aim is still simple: to give travellers a refreshingly different view that helps them to follow their own route and have a unique, memorable experience. Over 100 current guides reflect the many ways in which people enjoy independent travel; whether exploring ancient sites, seeking an adrenalin-filled adventure or relaxing on the beach, our authors do all they can to bring our customers the very best of each destination we cover. Who are Footprint’s™ customers? Footprint books are used by seasoned travellers of all ages and nationalities.

Average Rating:
 Rating:  - ExcellentBy some distance the best pocket guide we have ever used. A perfect accompaniment to our city break. Restaurant listings very very helpful for vegetarians - found some amazing places we never would have known about. Rating:  - REALLY DISAPPOINTINGSimply not that good. Rating:  - Not the best guide to ValenciaThis book provides interesting background on Valencia bust is very inaccurate in places. The reviews of restaurants and hotels flatters some very average places. Information about the beaches was incorrect. Free local guides available in many restaurants and bars provided better information and reviews of local entertainment Rating: - Invaluable little gemWithout doubt this is one of the best city guides I have ever had the pleasure to stumble across. It's informative, witty and incredibly easy to navigate. Although tiny enough to carry around without even noticing a bulge in the pocket, its information was far more extensive than other guides I referred to, and the maps were easily the most lucid style I have found. Highly recommended. |
