Customer Reviews

I can't wait

Unlike what the other reviewers have said, I personally have come accross many corsican travel guides, and the Rough Guide is simply the best. It is much more thorough than the others. My only beef is it is obviously British, and not North American. I would love to find travel guides aimed at Canadians travelling the world, alas there are few if any! The book was wonderful, and recalling it, I have been given a great urge to go to Corsica!

another excellent rough guide

Like all Rough Guides, this is jam-packed with well-written, discerning travel advice. Also like the rest of the series, it has the best for all budgets. The reviews were incredibly accurate and up-to-date, and all were worthwhile. The cultural sidenotes are interesting, and the photos are much better than thsoe in other guides. I didn't really check out other guides (not that there was a huge amount of choice), but I can't imagine how you could top this one. Go to Corsica, and take this book with you.

very useful and intersting

I travelled Corsica with a rented car. The book gave me almost all I needed - information about the atractions, historical background, cultural interesting articles, and tips about hotels etc... The tourist information offices know very little how to help tourists - with this book they are almost not needed.

You have no other choice - buy it!

How many other guides to Corsica aimed at independent travellers, written in English can you name? Yes, Corsica is covered in each and every guide to France as well, but those 20 or so pages in a 500-pages book aren't what you really want, are they? It would be unfair to say though that Corsica: The Rough Guide is the best one simply because it's also the only one -- both the authors and the editorial staff has done a pretty decent job on this one. Recommended.
