.Florence Made Easy (Open Road Travel Guides) City Travel Guides > Books > Open Roads by: Douglas E Morris April 25, 2006 I used this guide for a trip to Florence in November of '06 and it was invaluable. It's pocket sized, for one thing, so I didn't have to lug around a huge frommers or lonely planet book. The description of the sites are short and sweet and the maps and directions were excellent. There are lots of off the beatne track types of things in there, too. We spent 2 daysin Florence and did everything we wanted to and more, based solely on the book- even tried out a few of the restaurants (which were great). The only con with this book- and this is a problem with any travel book you get- is that the prices and hours for some things (museums, churches, etc.) were not always correct. These things constantly change, so it's hard to keep ... Read More: >>See More Reviews & Details on Florence Made Easy (Open Road Travel Guides) |

.Paris Made Easy: The Best Walks and Sights of Paris (Open Road Travel Guides) City Travel Guides > Books > Open Roads by: Andy Herbach May 23, 2006 I prefer guidebooks that aren't just mammoth listings of everything (hotels, restaurants, sights). This compact book hits the target with its highlights and its walking tours. You get directions, maps and commentary. Boxed notes give relevance to much that you would unknowingly pass by. Boxed in sage green are SHOPPING TIPS and ENTERTAINMENT TIPS while RESTAURANT TIPS are boxed in dark green. This covers the sights on the Island and the 20 Arrondissements plus some further afield (Versailles, Disneyland Paris, etc.). The second part of the book details walks to take. Try the Islands walk, the Left Bank walk, the Marais walk, the major sights walk, the Montmartre walk, or some culinary walks. Sage green boxes highlight DETOURS ...

.Kenya Guide, 2nd Edition (Open Road Travel Guides Kenya Guide) City Travel Guides > Books > Open Roads by: E.L. Vachon December 01, 1999 I have not yet travelled to Kenya, but I have read this book. The aspect of the book that I enjoyed the most was Ms. Vachon's "no big deal" approach to dealing with a very different environment and culture. She really put me at ease, particularly in regard to family travel. The book was also very well organized into logical sections, making it easy to find needed information. >>See More Reviews & Details on Kenya Guide, 2nd Edition (Open Road Travel Guides Kenya Guide) |

.New York City with Kids (Open Road Travel Guides) City Travel Guides > Books > Open Roads by: Laurie Bain Wilson November 02, 2004 Bestselling travel author Laurie Bain Wilson tempts families everywhere with delicious fun in her newest book. New York City with Kids is a treat from the word go. Wilson has road-tested all of the Big Apple sites with her son Alex, and offers an encyclopedic - and easy-to-read - guide to family-friendly hotels (even those that welcome Fido), restaurants, sights and activities in all of New York's boroughs. For example, Alex, a hot-fudge-sundae connoisseur, raves about Dylan's Candy Bar (p. 96). On a budget? Wilson lists museums with a "pay as you wish" policy (p. 58), so you can enjoy all of the bling without the ka-ching. She recommends the United Nations Gift Shop for terrific souvenirs (p.89) and the New York Gotham Baseball Club for reenactments ...

.Czech & Slovak Republics Guide: 2nd Edition (Open Road Travel Guides Czech and Slovak Republics Guide) City Travel Guides > Books > Open Roads by: Ted Brewer May 01, 1999 After being escorted through the wilds and wilderness of Utah by Ted Brewer's guide a few years back, I made a note to look for him again on my next trip. When some friends and I went to Prague in December of last year I was pleasantly surprised to find his guide to the Czech/Slovak Republics. This guide distinguishes itself from most other guides by not containing much in the way of pictures. I was a little concerned at first, but discovered that this was actually much better, in that I didn't have any preconceived notions about what the castles and countryside was supposed to look like. Brewer brought a unique wit and insight into his Utah book, and its present here in this guide. Many books just present information, but Brewer gives ...
