Customer Review: The Travelers Companion
I admit it: I’m addicted to travel. My wife and I are semi-retired and we are on the go half the year. We travel for our home-based business, “The Nurses Choice” which cover 50 metro areas and therefore must visit a variety of cities. We then decided to expand overseas.
Having to plan for a trip to Europe, we searched for a guide that would provide what we needed. The “Eyewitness Travel Guides” offered a total package. Good maps, photos, recommended places to see, dine, and stay. It’s well-organized and relatively small. We brought it on the tours of France and Italy. It served us well, allowing us to find and decide what to see fairly readily. A friend just borrowed it and they said the same thing. It really aided their decisions and provided a reliable course of action. We plan to buy the other series for other locations. That should speak for itself.
Customer Review: Disappointed Romanian!
This book in my opinion is biased and takes an angle of Europe that is “clean and proper” and fails to shed light on the rest of it. I can understand that these are “tourist guides” and why would anyone want to tour a country forgotten by time. However, I am a very disappointed Romanian with this book and would never use it as my reference. I have seen travel guides outlining Europe exclude Romania before, but with the precision and detail of DK’s series, I was left yet again in disappointment.
