.Eyewitness Top 10 Travel Guide to Tuscany (Eyewitness Travel Top 10)
City Travel Guides > Books > Eyewitness
by: DK Publishing

February 01, 2002
If you actually plan to visit Tuscany, don't buy this guidebook. It is a joke. If this is what the Top 10 guidebooks are about, I wonder that they have any audience at all. Information is sparse, descriptions are incomplete, cover blurbs can't be located in the text.

All of the eyecandy we expect from eyewitness guides. Some once-over-lightly background (not what I'd call in-depth) - most useful, from this perspective, as a decision tool before you've decided to go. Look elsewhere for real help in planning.

DK makes the best travel guides. As simple as that. Every time I am about to travel I purchase one of their books. They also have smaller books that you can carry with you, the "top 10" series. I highly recommend those as well!

.Dordogne and Southwest France (EYEWITNESS TRAVEL GUIDE)

Like most DK Traveler Guides, this one on the Bordeaux region of France is outstanding for the general traveler. The combination of images and text; the ease of use; and the compactness of its size all argue for being your first choice as a travel guide.

.Top 10 Normandy (EYEWITNESS TOP 10 TRAVEL GUIDE)
City Travel Guides > Books > Eyewitness
by: DK Publishing

January 21, 2008
I agree fully with the previous reviewer -- this book is not enough to be a stand alone guide to your trip to Normandy, but it is a spectacular compilation of things to do across the region.

There are numerous lists of everything from little villages specializing in crafts, food, and whatnot such as pottery, cheese, copper cookware, and more, to the top 10 D-Day sights and top 10 D-Day museums, to the most picturesque villages in the countryside and coast.

If you're interested mainly in D-Day sights, I found this book useful, because it had a few pages dedicated to the best museums, and key sights. Most people have a limited amount of time, and especially if you're driving yourself around, it's extremely helpful ... Read More:

.St. Petersburg (Eyewitness Travel Guides)

The book helped me a lot on my visit to St. Petersburg as I don't know Russian. The maps have the street names in English and Cyrillic Also the street index. There is also a metro map with stations written in both languages. The metro map and phrase book at the end - should be written in bigger letters. The book is very colorful and helps you to identify the sights and find your way.
I didn't read all the history section which seems very detailed but for a traveler - there should be a summery page of the important events and people who had an impact on St. Petersburg's history and Architecture.
Information that I found lacking or should be improved (Only from my experience in the city and I didn't see or visit all the sites)

.Norway (Eyewitness Travel Guides)

April 21, 2003
Let me preface this by saying that normally we love the EyeWitness guides, and they are our default choice when it comes to travel guides. Unfortunately, the standard style of the EyeWitness guide breaks down when it comes to covering the entire country of Norway. While this book makes a great overview and introduction to the land and its culture, it doesn't serve as much of a guide once you're there.

One of the big selling points of EyeWitness books is their beautiful hand-drawn maps. Usually these cover interesting neighborhoods, parks, etc. In the Norway book, they use the same system to cover vast regions of the country. Since the advantage of these maps in the other books is the detail, the idea breaks down in such a large ... Read More:

.Top 10 Seattle (EYEWITNESS TOP 10 TRAVEL GUIDE)
City Travel Guides > Books > Eyewitness
by: DK Publishing

I purchased this for basic information and highlights of Seattle. That's what I received and I'm happy. It gave me good food recommendations, history overview of the areas of interest and a great map to get me around the city.

I would recommend this for anyone looking to get the flavor of Seattle without reading through paragraphs of details. 4 stars out of 5 because sometimes you want more detail as you're reading it.

.Tunisia (EYEWITNESS TRAVEL GUIDE)
City Travel Guides > Books > Eyewitness

April 11, 2005
I find the guide useful in my recent travel to Tunisia but many places need updating, particularly the "where to stay" and "where to eat" sections the comments in which I find run-of-the-mill and, in some cases, outdated, e.g. one hotel was closed down more than a year ago despite its mentioning in the guide. I find these two sections disappointing.
