Customer Reviews

You NEED this book!

I've been traveling for business and pleasure for 37 years, up to two weeks and half a dozen different cities per month. Most importantly, my travels have been on my dime, because I'm self-employed, and I've sought every time- and money-saving ploy I could come up with. But I learned a frightening amount of new information from this book. There is a good mixture of tips for buying tickets, getting the most from your hotel stays, and other procedural topics, as well as good information oriented towards specific destinations. This book is excellent for browsing, or for reading from cover-to-cover. If you think you know everything there is to know about travel: you don't. Peter Greenberg does, however, and you should take advantage of his expertise.

The Complete Travel Detective Bible

This book is just plain fun to read, along with, of course, providing lots & lots of what seems to be current information about every aspect of traveling. The author uses anecdotes to illustrate points, which makes it good even for armchair travelers. At 601 pages not counting the index, there is a huge amount of content here. He covers travel contingencys, options, things I'd never thought of, & provides address's both email & regular mail. His writing style is enjoyable & easy to understand. I highly recommend this book even if you only travel once a year, or just dream of it.

Great tips

After about 10 minutes, this book helped me get a better deal on airfare to Paris. I'm giving to several friends who travel a great deal for work, but are enjoying it less. There are enough suggestions here to keep me happier traveling for the next 10 years.

Complete Travel Detective Bible & Travel Detective How to Get the Best Deals (2 books)

These two books have been around a while - I originally saw Travel Detective in an earlier edition (pre 9/11) but they have been updated to the current editions. As far as I can tell, the ideas and tips are comprehensive. Easy to read format and entertaining, even if you don't plan to travel anytime soon. Would recommend!

Complete Travel Detective Bible

As the CEO of a large Travel Insurance company and concierge companies we take care of 6,000,000 travelers each year. As such we are involved in helping people all over the world with medical and emergency travel problems as well as just general concierge questions. This book is perhaps the most insightful travel publication published. It is factual and practical This man travels more than his readers ever will. He knows travel, knows the pitfalls and anticipates the moves he needs to orchestrate his travel. We will use it as a reference for our Emergency Travel Representatives and our Concierge staff. The title is appropriate as it is truly a bible for travelers. If more people read it and use it as a reference both before and during their trip, they would find their travels to be uninterrupted by travel problems A modest investment for people who want to travel trouble free. I would recommend this book for all travelers, both leisure and business. John M. Noel Noel Group MobileCierge
