This review is from: Frommer's Portable Charleston & Savannah (Paperback)

I did not find this book any more helpful than the Charleston Area 2003 Official Visitors Guide that I ordered for free on the internet (I'd give you the url, but it's not allowed, so do a search). It did offer information on hotels, which the free guide did not. However, the free book gave more information on local events, tours, and sightseeing. This book is not worth the money, get the free one!

This review is from: Frommer's Portable Charleston & Savannah (Paperback)

This was a great portable guide for Savannah. We were only there for 3 days and we went to a number of the restaurants and sites listed. I had also bought Moon Guides' Savannah and Charleston book and it was not as well organized as this guide was. It fit perfect into my little bag also.

This little guide was very helpful in planing my trip to Savannah, Ga and Charleston, SC. Great companion to "The Best Little Map of Savannah, GA" and The Best Little Map of Charleston, SC", also, must haves for vactioning in these two cities.
