.Footprint Colombia Handbook: The Travel Guide (Colombia Handbook)
City Travel Guides > Books > Footprint Handbooks
by: Peter Pollard

2001-12
This is a valuable book. "Footprint Colombia Handbook: The Travel Guide," highlights Colombia's many wonderful assets. It also warns of its potential pitfalls.

In regard to travel...this book covers all the bases. Colombia is an immense nation with outstanding hotels, magnificiant places to eat and wonderful people. Moreover, its parks and natural beauties can hardly be matched anywhere else in the world.

However, one must not ignore the subtle warnings in this text. Colombia must be approached with open eyes. It can be a wonderful experience and this book allows one to take a bite of the best the nation has to offer.

.Naples & the Amalfi Coast, 2nd (Footprint - Pocket Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > Footprint Handbooks
by: Julius Honnor

March 01, 2005
I bought this book based on my previous experiences with Footprint guides -- I love their South America books -- and it was perfect for my five-day visit to Naples. It provides a well integrated mix of historical and current city info, with useful maps and really stunning photos (though color would be nice; next edition, maybe?).

Plus, it didn't weigh down my bag. Unlike some pocket guides, this one really does fit in your pocket. It's all you need to get around -- no more, no less. I felt totally hooked in to what's going on in Naples -- hopefully they'll add lots more titles to this series.

.Cambodia, 4th (Footprint - Travel Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > Footprint Handbooks

I found this guide helpful during my 3-week visit to Cambodia in Dec. 2006-Jan. 2007, but I was disappointed in the lack of directions for out-of-town sights. The author seems to assume that readers will be hiring taxis for excursions and hence do not need directions. Not true! Quite a few of us like to travel with our own wheels, a bicycle in my case. Near Battambang, for example, the ancient Khmer temple of Wat Ek is described as "11km downriver from Battambang." Wrong! One needs to go 6km downriver, then turn left 5.5km up a tributary at a fork just before a bridge. Also, near Battambang, Phnom Sampeu (temples and caves) and Phnom Banon (Khmer temple) make a fine 48km loop that should have been described, yet the best we get is that Phnom ... Read More:

.Thailand Handbook (Footprint Handbooks)
City Travel Guides > Books > Footprint Handbooks
by: Joshua Eliot

1997-01
We have been to Thailand twice this year (Feb 06 and Dec 06) and I used the guidebook to explore Bangkok in depth the first visit and nearby attractions on the second visit. The recommendations on attractions and hotels are great. The restaurant guide is adequate, but I think Bangkok is simply too hard a city to have a restaurant guide that is either current or comprehensive.

On the flip side, at least one of the maps was very misleading at best or incorrect at worst. On the way to Hua Hin, the map states the highway (No. 4) goes through town, but it fact, it is a limited access expressway some 10 kilometers west of town and there is only one exit to get to Hua Hin. This caused us to take a 20+km extra trip to reach town.
