.Best Of Cairo, 2 (Globetrotter Best of Series) by: Robin Gauldie October 01, 2007 I went to Luxor and Cairo earlier in 2008, and brought this book along with the DK guide and Rough Guide to Egypt. All served their purposes, but none of them stood out as the definitive guide. The Best of Cairo is best as a high-level overview of what there is to see and do in Cairo and Luxor, with a page to two pages on each main subject. It was good enough to keep in a cargo pants pocket, but for more information, I had to refer to the DK or Rough Guide. It's not to say that this is a major downside to the book - it's just that in my experience, the Globetrotter series of books are designed as overviews (hence the name "Best Of".) If you're heading to Egypt, I wholeheartedly recommend this book, along with Egypt (Eyewitness Travel ... Read More: >>See More Reviews & Details on Best Of Cairo, 2 (Globetrotter Best of Series) |

.Crete (Eyewitness Top 10 Travel Guides) by: Robin Gauldie January 20, 2003 Having travelled the world with several Top 10 Guides, I can confidently state that no one should buy a Top 10 Guide expecting to use it as a travel bible, particularly if one is traveling on one's own, rather than a group itinerary. With that caveat, Top 10 Crete is another great entry in the Top 10 series. As always, cross-reference it with your tour guide or a comprehensive guidebook, then tuck it in your bag and you're good to go. The maps will never leave you lost, and the restaurants in particular are always tasty. The top 10 list format the guides use divides the island into manageable chunks and gives a good idea of what's a must-see and what can be done without. My biggest complaint is the few niggling inaccuracies in some of ... Read More: >>See More Reviews & Details on Crete (Eyewitness Top 10 Travel Guides) |

.Morocco Travel Pack (Globetrotter Travel Packs) by: Robin Gauldie June 17, 2008 Although well written and compact, a number of books (particularly the travel book on Morocco from Eyewitness Travel Guides) are far more descriptive and supply more useful information in a more appealing format. I would only buy this guidebook if you are looking for an additional book on travel to Morocco and already have a more comprehensive volume. I leave for Morocco tomorrow and am leaving this book at home. >>See More Reviews & Details on Morocco Travel Pack (Globetrotter Travel Packs) |
