Customer Reviews

As usual, most of what you need to know

... if presented in its typical teacher's lecture fashion. I can't remember being misled by one of the venerable Green Guides. Still, don't these authors ever stop for a pint because they want to chat up the locals?

A great supplementary guide for history buffs

We visited England last year, and the Michelin Green guide was very helpful in planning a terrific trip. I don't think I would recommend it as the primary guide; it lacks information on restaurants and accomodation, and, as another reviewer noted, the alphabetical layout makes it hard to choose which general regions you would like to visit. To supplement another book though (we used the Rough Guide),it can be very helpful. The real strength, we found, was in pointing out historic points of interest. It gave a great deal of information about places that the other guide books only provide sketchy information on.

Very good but would buy the regional ones for more detail.

As usual, the Michelin Green Guide was very good. The detailed descriptions were accurate and helpful. Next time I would get the guide for the specific regions for even more detail. The only complaint I can think of is that I would prefer a locational organization as opposed to an alphabetical one.
