.Frommer's South Africa (Frommer's Complete)
City Travel Guides > Books > Frommers
by: Pippa de Bruyn

December 05, 2007
Just returned from a 2 week trip to South Africa - this book was very helpful in finding places to stay, things to do, how to keep safe, etc. I took "The Eyewitness Guide" with me too, but that book was not very helpful.

I would also recommend you talk to someone who has been there and make sure you have local contacts. This is a crazy but beautiful country. Have a wonderful trip!

.Frommer's Boston 2008 (Frommer's Complete)
City Travel Guides > Books > Frommers
by: Marie Morris

September 04, 2007
I purchased this book for a week of solo sightseeing before a friend's wedding. The walking tours looked great on the page, but were difficult to follow in reality and had very little information about each sight (luckily the most famous walking tour in Boston, The Freedom Trail, is marked by a red or brick line throughout the city so no directions are needed). I never found any incorrect information, but it all felt very cursory and left me looking online or calling locations for more detail. My primary problem with the book was the lack of dining information - it listed so few restaurants that it was nearly impossible to find one in my area and my price range at any given time. The best tip from the book was one that even my friends who visit Boston frequently ... Read More:

.Frommer's New York City with Kids (Frommer's With Kids)
City Travel Guides > Books > Frommers
by: Holly Hughes

January 30, 2007
I took my family to NYC and we had a great time. Our great time was not because of this book, but in spite of it. We had multiple occasions when a recommended restaurant was not very kid friendly, or a place to get dessert was just not that good. The guide did help with mapping out the main tourist sites we wanted to go to. Would look for another family guide to NYC if I was returning. There must be a better one.

.Frommer's Portable Napa & Sonoma (Frommer's Portable)
City Travel Guides > Books > Frommers
by: Erika Lenkert

April 21, 2008
This, like the other Frommer's Guides I have seen, seems to be timid, generic and void of fun, gritty, insider information. It gave some useful information to read on the plane about various wineries, but I left it in my hotel the days I headed out to Sonoma, and this I did on purpose. Do your research and buy a better guide.

.Frommer's Hong Kong (Frommer's Complete)
City Travel Guides > Books > Frommers
by: Beth Reiber

February 27, 2007
One of the reviews below declares that the author of the Frommer's guide to Hong Kong should burn in a hell for guidebook writers. I don't find this funny. In fact, I find this to be a pretty mean thing to say, and I doubt the author of that review would say such a thing to Ms. Reiber in person. The author of that review should be ashamed of himself, and apologize here in a follow-up to his original review.

I am very familiar with the guidebook scene to Hong Kong, though I've never met Ms. Reiber, and I happen to think that her guide is one of the better ones out there. Her book has an honest and thoughtful tone; it also offers some of the more astute observations about Hong Kong to be found in the current crop of guidebooks. If there is a weakness to her guidebook, ... Read More:

The book has lots of good info for a first-time traveller to Ireland, but I'll know more about how useful the book is in early September. My daughter and I will be travelling to Ireland in late August and hope to put the book's info to use while we're there. Stay tuned....
