3.0 out of 5 stars How to understand, enjoy, and shop, March 22, 2001

This review is from: Discovering Tucson: A Guide to the Old Pueblo...and Beyond (Paperback)

If you already have one of the major guidebooks to Tucson, this is an adequate supplement. The information seems geared more towards long-term visitors than day-trippers. If you want to know where to buy shoes or cd's this is the book for you.

But it's not an entertaining travel companion. The writing is drab and cliche-ridden--the word "great" seems to appear on every page.

This is a good guide for the out of towner or the local who wants the inside scoop on attractions, restaurants etc. It is broken down into day trips,attractions, a&e, outdoor stuff,shopping. We've visited several places we wouldn't have known about and eaten at a couple of restaurants listed. Maps of different areas are included. Let's you know what's around Tucson and there is much to do!
