5.0 out of 5 stars The best guide to Prague, March 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Frommer's Prague & the Best of the Czech Republic (2nd Ed) (Paperback)

Just returned from Prague, and this guidebook was by far the most valuable resource we had. Walking tours and restaurant reviews particularly valuable.

3.0 out of 5 stars User beware, October 29, 2001

This review is from: Frommer's Prague and the Best of the Czech Republic (Frommer's Complete Guides) (Paperback)

Use this book with caution. Restaurant reviews are very helpful and the walking tours get you into the tourist parts of town. But don't trust the telephone/fax numbers. Of the three I tried, all were wrong. Overall, worth using though.

1.0 out of 5 stars Buyer Beware........, December 1, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Frommer's Prague & the Best of the Czech Republic (Paperback)

After purchasing other Frommer's books and being happy with them, I was extremely disappointed with this one. Much of the information regarding operating hours, costs and locations was incorrect. Also, there were some other places that were omitted entirely. Fortunately, one of the people in my group had the Lonely Planet guide - otherwise we would have missed out.
