.The Rough Guide to Travel with Babies and Young Children (Rough Guides Reference Titles)
City Travel Guides > Books > Family Travel
by: Fawzia Rasheed de Francisco

January 10, 2008
I don't know what I expected but certainly nothing this detailed or so well-written. It was fun to read, and completely educational. I don't have children of my own but as a travel writer I need to know what women travelers and mothers can expect. I wouldn't hesitate a single second to offer this book as a gift to parents, or to recommend it without reservation to anyone considering travel with young children. Not only is it practical, it's fun. I learned plenty about attitudes towards children around the world. Well done!

.Travel with Kids (Footprint Handbooks)
City Travel Guides > Books > Family Travel
by: William Gray

November 09, 2007
Like a lot of people we used to travel a lot before having kids. Now with children aged one and three we've been trying to work out the best way to holiday as a family i.e. how the kids can be happy, we can get a well deserved relaxing break, and we can have fun as a family. Not an easy thing to do. I've picked up a few of these books and they've never really got the balance right, they're either not practical enough, or they're so practical they take the fun out of the idea travelling with young a family.
This book gets it just right. It's beautifully produced, which makes it a pleasure to read. The advice and guidance is full of practical stuff, but delivered in a way that's meant to give you the inspiration and confidence to get on and book that ... Read More:

.Europe in a Motorhome: A Mid-life Gap Year Around Southern Europe
City Travel Guides > Books > Family Travel
by: H.D. Jackson

I found this book the literary equivalent of looking at someone's holiday photos - lots of them. Admittedly I didn't get past Spain, the style and presentation obviously pleases several people, I found it boring and unreadable.

.A New Life in New Zealand
City Travel Guides > Books > Family Travel
by: Paul Goddard

April 30, 2004
We bought this book as we wanted an insight as to what its really like to emergrate. Although the book did provide this, i would avoid reading this book if you are looking to be inspired. We found the narrative of the book to be fairly negative, which i suppose is understandable due to the problems the Goddards experienced. I think this book is most useful for learning from the Goddards' mistakes which to me, with the benefit of hindsight, seem glaring obvious.

By all means this book is worthy of a read, but is not suitable as a 'how to' guide on how to emmigrate to new zealand. For me, all this book did was leave me feeling that I am in need of some different points of view and some accounts of people who took a different tact to emmigrating to new zealand.

.Frommer's London with Kids (Frommers With Your Family Series)
City Travel Guides > Books > Family Travel
by: Rhonda Carrier

November 16, 2007
My copy is BATTERED after a month in London with my wife and kids. So I'm buying a new one. Going on holiday with your children (mine are three and four) is great but can be a nightmare. A guide is essential, and this guide has done everything I asked of it. Cheap, good food, interesting little visits to places I'd never known existed (the Peter Pan statue for example), help with all the logistical pitfalls that exist when you're in a big city with little people... If you're coming to the UK with munchkins, you could do worse than consider this book. A gem.

.Frommer's Brittany with Your Family (Frommer's with Your Family)
City Travel Guides > Books > Family Travel
by: Rhonda Carrier

I've just read the previous review and feel obliged to redress the balance, having bought this book from Amazon prior to our own family holiday in Brittany this year.

In point 1. his review states that there isn't enough accommodation information but goes on to suggest in point 4. that they get rid of the accommodation details to make way for more information on attractions?! Which is it to be??? Do you want accommodation details in there or not!? What's more, with some 750 miles of coastline in Brittany alone, you're not going to easily be able to cover every beach, let alone every accommodation option or every attraction. That's just simply not realistic.

I bought the book having already booked our accommodation also for a recent family holiday, along with my ... Read More:
