A Keepsake book on New England,
By Steven Sprachman (Hicksville, New York United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eyewitness Travel Guide to New England (Paperback)
The DK series of travel guides are great as a starting point in planning any trip. The books are easy to read and great to look at. It is the one series of guide books that I would recommend buying and keeping.The New England guide has a great deal of information. The primary focus of this book is on places to see, art, and architecture.A quarter of the book deals with the Boston area. The information provided is fairly comprehensive. The pictures, maps, and descriptions are informative.Outside the section on Boston, the information is less comprehensive. Some areas could have been expanded and had more details. There are only three pages on the Berkshires. They could have included more of the mansions in Newport RI. I would definately start with this book as an overview. Then I would use other guides or the state or local travel bureaus for more localized information. Once on your trip to New England there are plenty of free brochures and guides that will help enrich your experience plus giving you more places to see, shop, and eat.When your done with your trip, keep your DK guide for future reference.

Another great trip, thanks to the DK guide...,

This review is from: Eyewitness Travel Guide to New England (Paperback)
Once you buy your first DK Guide, you will seek them out anytime you are getting ready for a trip. My husband and I had not traveled to Massachusetts or Rhode Island previously and used the guide for much of our trip. We found it extremely helpful for the Boston Area-for the sites to see and the handy map of the "T", which is their subway system. I also recommend purchasing the compact fold-out DK street maps of Boston, that can be purchased separately at most book stores. We used the guide throughout our stay in Plymouth, our day trips to Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard and Rhode Island. As always, I love the full color pictures and descriptions of the sites. We felt that we were able to make informed decisions about the places to visit that would interest us the most. Also helpful is the Survival Section in the back that gives you much of the information that you need to know when traveling to a new area. We used the guide also for restaurant recommendations, while out driving, and were not disappointed with any of the stops we made. I plan to use the guide the next time we go back and would highly recommend it to those thinking about a trip to this beautiful area of the country.

Better for just Boston,
By J. M. (Morrison, CO USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eyewitness Travel Guide to New England (Paperback)
This book was fine for touring around Boston. It was very informative. As far as the rest of New England, there must be something better. We found ourselves in the middle of some great towns with nothing more than a couple of sentences, if that, about the area. After getting out of the car and exploring, we found many interesting sites and attractions. If we made our decisions based completely on the book we would have passed up many interesting stops. Next time we travel in New England, we will buy a different book.
