Customer Reviews

I didn't realize what I had in my own back yard . . . . . .

This guide has inspired me to explore my own home state! I admit that until I picked up this book I hadn't heard of many of the towns and areas featured and now I want to see them all. The reading is easy; the author writes as if she is your best friend and wants to share a great local travel secret she has just discovered.I have already sampled a few of the sites featured and found the recommendations pleasantly accurate. This is a great book to keep in the car for reference whether you have time for a whole day or only one short stop. Buy it as a good investment in your travel pleasure.

Great book to learn and explore Indiana

I thought this book was great. It was very useful. I've spent a good deal of time in Indianapolis, but never really explored many of towns described in the guide book. It even includes day trips to Ohio and Kentucky. The book is divided in to geographical locations, with each area including one to seven day trips. The directions are, for the most part, easy to follow, and the restaurant, shop and hotel listings are informative and as up-to-date as possible.Anyone looking to explore the great state of Indiana, and beyond, I highly recommend this book!
