I find the guide useful in my recent travel to Tunisia but many places need updating, particularly the "where to stay" and "where to eat" sections the comments in which I find run-of-the-mill and, in some cases, outdated, e.g. one hotel was closed down more than a year ago despite its mentioning in the guide. I find these two sections disappointing.

Just came back from two weeks in Tunisia. As we had to go to Europe, we decided within a week to go to Tunisia and the only place I could get the book was from Amazon, but we were scare not to have it on time. We went all over Tunisia with OAT Travel. I showed the guide others places which were in the book and from that he detoured when he could do it. Without the book we will had missed a lot. As we travel a lot we have at least 27 books from DK Eyewitness Travel which we went to all those countries. Most of my books I use a marker to spot easier the places to see. We do not have too many places to see in the world, but I will never leave without those books. The Planet Books are very good too for places to eat and sleep.

I'm thinking of going to Tunsia in the spring. This is one of the first times I'm going to a country I know little about and have done very little research on. I got this book from the library to get an overview of the country. I usually bring the DK Eyewitness Travel Guides when I travel as they are chock full of pictures, maps, history etc. Approaching this one from ignorance, I did not find it as helpful as I'd hoped in regarding a decision to go to Tunsia or not. That said, it was beautifully illustrated as most DK books are. I think with some Internet research on where to go and what to do from more recent sources, the book will be helpful if the trip is undertaken!

As it is the case with all DK travel guides, this is a very hands on guide, with sightseeing routes to be followed and pics to give the reader an idea of what to see...

This is the best travel guide I've ever found. Full of full color photographs and information that is relevant and sectioned in a logical manner. Well worth the money.
