5.0 out of 5 stars Very useful for a recent trip, October 31, 2008
I looked at a few different travel books for Philadelphia before selecting this one. I really liked the book's layout -- very logical and straightforward, with useful itineraries, accurate descriptions of sights, and interesting walking tours. The food suggestions I tried panned out nicely, with the ranking/discussion of cheesesteak spots much appreciated. And I found a place to stay that was reasonably priced, clean, and centrally located through this book. Very good.

5.0 out of 5 stars all the info you need, August 19, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Frommer's Philadelphia & the Amish Country (Frommer's Complete Guides) (Paperback)
great travel book w all the info you need. phone numbers, addresses, tips, operating hours...it's all there. i always read one fodor's travel book and one frommers to be sure everything is covered. i have both and one is as good as the other. i didn't really need both, but love reading them. i find the moon series to also be very informative. check the dates of publication before you buy. they are still selling the older ones and you want to be certain to get the most recent edition. skip the insiders travel guide and get that one from the library if you want to read it. those books are always thicker but never as comprehensive despite their page numbers.

This review is from: Frommer's Philadelphia & the Amish Country (Frommer's Complete Guides) (Paperback)
Great guide. Used it to find the best places to see since we were only there a couple days. Found a great cheesesteak place off the beaten path thanks to Frommer's.
