4.0 out of 5 stars A fine book, April 11, 2002

This review is from: Frommer's Boston 2002 (Paperback)

This is my first Frommer's guide book. The map is great and better than Fodor's. The accomodation section is definitely the best part of the whole book. Arthur Frommer is really a penny pincher. For twenty something travelers who want to go the night spots will have to ask around or go with Lonely Planet. This book is a 5 star for the budget consicious older folks and anybody traveling with families.

5.0 out of 5 stars Visiting Boston, buy a travel guide, November 21, 2004

This review is from: Frommer's Boston 2005 (Frommer's Complete Guides) (Paperback)

I have been to Boston twice within the past year. I absolutely love the city and am seriously considering a move their one day. I bought this travel guide before my second trip. (I wish I had read it before the first trip) The guide helped a lot, but it seems to be biased in favor of its advertising. I did, however, learn a lot more about the city after reading it. The book is definitely worth the money, but my suggestion is that if you are going to spend $2000 on a vacation, buy two or three different travel guides and compare notes. I would also suggest "TimeOut Boston" for a more edgy view of the city.
