Customer Reviews

THE best general travel guides

National Geographic started this series of travel guides a few years back, and, after 16 years of leading student tours to Europe and trying other popular travel publications, I can highly recommend the NG series. The maps are some of the best in this category and I especillay appreciate the way the authors/editors divide cities and countries into easily digestible and fun to use sections. Another plus are the suggested walking tours. If you're heading across the pond, these are the travel guides to invest in.

Great Series

I have a few of these National Geographic Traveler books. This is a great series of books. This one on Florence and Tuscany is my favorite. The images and thick glossy paper make these books really stand out. After reading the one on Florence I was hard pressed to actually go there because I felt like I saw everything there is to see from the pictures in the book. The maps are great and make getting around the cities easy. I have been through Tuscany a lot in the past year and this is the only guide book I've used.
