3.0 out of 5 stars Fodor's Pocket Buenos Aires, November 21, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Fodor's Pocket Buenos Aires, 1st Edition: The Best of the City (Pocket Guides) (Paperback)

Great recommendations for dining, shopping & hotels. 80% of the time this book hit the mark. A few of the maps and addresses however will get you to the general neighborhood you are looking for but don't lead you directly to the right destination. If you don't mind getting a little lost on foot from time to time, it is a relatively good book.

This review is from: Fodor's Pocket Buenos Aires, 1st Edition: The Best of the City (Pocket Guides) (Paperback)

At some expense, our entire family from San Francisco, Tulsa and Chicago is traveling to BA on a toot because we've never been there. Based on this book's recommendations, we have made our reservations and plans accordingly. Our Chicago newspaper reporter son checked out everything, and tells us the book's information is true, correct and very useful... We have carved out all of our 8-day doings schedule from the Fodor's recommendations...
