Useful travel companion,
This review is from: Footprint Sri Lanka Handbook: The Travel Guide (Hardcover)
We have travelled through Sri Lanka this spring. The guidebook proved to be very accurate and useful in organizing our trip and in assisting us for the different visits. Its practical tips are very true and the historical background is concentrated, without flooding you with too much information. I can highly recommend the guidebook.
