Customer Reviews

Good at what it is intended to do.

The 2nd edition, published after the other 3 reviews shown, went from 104 pages to 257 pages, adding significant amounts of both maps and text. If you are looking for a detailed road atlas for cycling the backroads of the Philippines, similar to a DeLorme atlas, then this is not for you. If you are looking for an atlas that has hundreds of detailed maps and extensive tourist information - a cross between a guide book and an atlas, then this is a great atlas. Organized by regions (from north to south), each regional section starts with a summary paragraph and a regional map. There is descriptive tourist information on the highlights in the region, and city maps of the larger cities or popular tourist beach areas. The city maps have numerous businesses names and located - convenience stores, hotels, restaurants, etc. The text describes the more popular museums, monuments, tourist sites, beaches, and shopping areas.

E-Z Philippines Travel Atlas

I was delighted to find this Atlas had not only maps and major points of interest but also a wealth of information on the history and culture of the Philippines. As an interracial family, this is very important so that my children and grand-children can keep in touch with their heritage. I was impressed with the detail of the city and regional maps. Having information detailed for each region was especially helpful in ensuring my children had a firm understanding of the varied aspects of their culture.

FASCINATING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am half Filipino and currently reside in Tokyo, Japan. For our annual family vacation, we traveled to the Philippines. I was fortunate to obtain the E-Z Philippines Travel Atlas and was fascinated by the presentation, colors and accuracy of the maps included in the Atlas. Most interesting were the specialty maps which featured historical landmarks (which we visited many), churches and shrines and festivals. This was the first time I or any of my family members were able to see exactly what goes on in each Region and at the same time be able to travel worry-free by using the detailed city maps. We could not believe all the detail that was contained on the city maps of Manila, Makati, Cebu and Angeles. I highly recommend this Atlas to anyone interested in learning more about the Philippines or especially to those who are considering a vacation to the beautiful islands.
