Customer Reviews

A fine guide book and great for first time traveler

I had a great time in Germany that I owed a big time from all the folks at Fodor's. It is really an up close of Germany even though the maps are dissapointing. They could be more detailed. This has been the weak point of all Fodor's series. Seasoned travelers better off look else where, you guys obviously do not need the section on how to pack, where to keep your passports and looking composed and presentable at the custom gate to expedite process.
