.Cyprus (EYEWITNESS TRAVEL GUIDE)
City Travel Guides > Books > Eyewitness
by: DK Publishing

February 20, 2006
I own about 40 DK Eyewitness Travel Guides and usually take one on my travels to complement a more thoroughly written guidebook like Rough Guide or Lonely Planet. The photos are always excellent, providing a fine visual overview of places. DK Cyprus, though, was perhaps the least useful DK Travel Guide that I have ever used. The descriptions of places were drier than Cyprus' summer weather, and the photos added little to what was in the more compact, less expensive DK Top 10 Cyprus book. Carrying 4 guidebooks (DK, DK Top 10, Lonely Planet, and Rough Guide) for our travels throughout all regions of the island, I soon realized that I could have been perfectly happy if I had only carried Rough Guide and DK Top 10.

.15-minute Italian (EW TRAVEL 15-MINUTE LANGUAGE)
City Travel Guides > Books > Eyewitness
by: DK Publishing

April 04, 2005
The book consists of a series of short lessons organized into 12 weeks. The idea is to do one 15 minute lesson a day for 12 weeks. The book's strength is that it includes photographs for almost every word, phrase, and conversation. This helps the learner to have a visual to associate with what is being said. The vocabulary and the sentences are organized in a logical way so that each deals with a specific topic. There is a review lesson at the end of each week.

The CDs include native speakers reading all of the Italian words and phrases introduced in each lesson. This is especially helpful since while the book does include a phonetic pronunciation guide for the Italian words, the accent (stressed syllable) is not indicated. ... Read More:

Great area of Italy to visit, hopefully the Olympics have shed much needed exposure to an area that has been overlooked. Not many Travel books out about his area, but this book covers the area very well.

Have used this series of product before, in France, and this one is just as good. CD covers the basics and the book is small enough to fit in a pocket when travelling. I am sure there are other books or CDs that go over the basics in a better format (i.e. numbers and letters first, etc.), but for the fly by the seat of your pants traveller who doesn't want to seem like the ignorant American traveller, a great resource, especially for the price.

.Washington, D.C. (Eyewitness Top 10 Travel Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > Eyewitness
by: DK Publishing

January 20, 2003
My husband and I have just returned from DC and found this guide very helpful. It helped give us brief snapshots of the places to go and see in specific neighborhoods. The reason I didn't give it a five star rating is the maps. We ended up buying a seperate map because they were very limited. The size of the book was a plus, it was easy to stash in my backpack. Having this to plan our trip prior to arriving in the city, was a great asset and helped make our trip more enjoyable. I'm planning a trip to NYC and plan on buying a Top 10 Guide for that trip.

.Amsterdam (Eyewitness Top 10 Travel Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > Eyewitness
by: DK Publishing, Leonie Glass

January 20, 2003
I recently purchased this book for a quick trip to Europe. We were staying in Amsterdam for only 4 days so we wanted to hit the highlights. The size is perfect to carry around and the color maps were great (including street index).

I used this book for only 2 days - and then I accidentally left it at a restaurant. I couldn't get back there to find it (long story). I was so bummed - I really liked this little book. The book has a "Top 10" theme throughout. "Top 10 Artists" "Top 10 Museums" "Top 10 Moments in Amsterdam History" etc. They also have Hotel recommendations and well as general travel tips.

There is a phrase list in the back for Dutch. DK gives you a couple one-day iteneraries in case you would like guidance. ... Read More:

.Pocket Map and Guide Paris (EYEWITNESS POCKET MAP & GUIDE)
City Travel Guides > Books > Eyewitness
by: DK Publishing

March 19, 2007
Whew! What a lot of information in such a small package! This little foldout map can easily fit into a shirt pocket. So, portability is a great plus; one can walk around Paris with this map and guide in your pocket. Of course, this plus has its corollary minus: Goodness, the type is small! I have a somewhat hard time reading the text. Not a huge problem, but something that needs to be noted.

In this compact work is the obligatory map of the Metro, so one has a sense of where the stops are and what stops one might need to see certain sights. The map of the historic center provides a lot of information--but I need a magnifying glass (the ravages of age!).

There is a useful area by area examination of Paris (not based on the arrondissements), ... Read More:

.Eyewitness Top 10 Travel Guides: Rome (Eyewitness Travel Top 10)
City Travel Guides > Books > Eyewitness

If you are traveling to a city and spending only a short time (3 or less days) you need nothing more than an Eyewitness Top 10 Guide. I will never go anywhere without one. It categorizes and boils things down, but the print is large enough to read. If you will be spending longer in your destination (for instance you are studying abroad) you will want a more comprehensive guide. Don't hesitate to buy any of the Eyewitness Top 10 Guides -- I have 3 of them.
