My family always teases me for pulling out my Frommer's Guide when we travel, but I always shut them up when I am able to answer their questions about where to go or what to see. I've used these guides for other vacations and if you are willing to read ahead of time, they are well worth purchasing. You get a lot of information for your money. Sometimes, it can be a little confusing to navigate through all the information, but all in all it is worth taking some time in advance of your trip to read through the book. It will give you great ideas about what you would like to visit and how to find those places. There is also so much additional history included. You won't have to spend time reading at the site, because you will already have read it in the book!

My best advice - read it prior to your trip and take it with you. We carried our guide with us everyday - which helped if we changed our mind or were looking for something else to do. I would highly recommend this book for anyone planning a trip to Boston.

This is an excellent guide to Boston. The best part is a guide to the public transportation system which is essential in getting around. Boston is worse than Los Angeles to drive in. Just get a hotel near public transportation and search out art museums, go find great sea food or even Mexican restaurants, have a wonderful time.

This book is a great guide to Boston. As a student in downtown Boston I used the book to see the last few things that I have missed while I have been in school. I never realized that I missed so much in the 4 years that I have been here. It gives a great lists of the museums in the area. The suggestions on places to eat are a little lacking but it should appeal to the average Boston tourist. Overall a good investment for your trip to the area.
