Customer Reviews

Very well designed

Some guides are meant to be read at leisure while sipping tea - and other guides are meant to be carried in your purse and referred to while you are actively figuring out the subway system. The citypack book is definitely the latter of the two. Small, direct, concise, this is not about gorgeous photos and long histories. It is about maps, tips, hours of operation, and how to get there. I definitely like both the size of this book and how it's laid out. You can quickly skim to the area you're in and figure out what there is to see, how to get there, what the timing is going to be like, and where to find some reliable food when you're done. Yes, it does have some photos too, but they're meant to highlight the information and to help you recognize key locations. If you're looking for an armchair travel book, there are several others I can recommend for that purpose. However, for actually walking through a city and making your way safely, I definitely recommend the citypack as being ideal for the job.

A Great Guide!

Tokyo is the most amazing place to visit, and this guide listed so many places to visit without consuming the whole day. The guide suggests 'Daily Itineries" as well as short bits of info. This is the ideal guide for travel! My husband tells everyone that I saw more of Tokyo in 2 week than he did in 2 months while working there. Short and to the point.
