Customer Reviews

A reasonable guide to Boston

Bought this for a trip to Boston this past December and the tips to places were great but the text was small, even for a portable guide. The maps were hard to read so I had to go find one a tourist center too. I definitely enjoyed the details about restaurants and hotels that were affordable and places to visit but it could have been easier to read with more breaks.
