The Best Guide to Transcaucasia Available,
By
This review is from: Georgia (Paperback)
The Bradt Travel Guide is the best guide to Transcaucasia currently available. The Guide is comprehensive in its scope of coverage of Georgia, with reliable details on sights, lodging, restaurants, etc. -- but the book is most notable for its outstanding background information regarding this little-known region. The history and development of the region, the present political situation, the ecological state of affairs, as well as cultural, religious and culinary background are well covered. Almost as a bonus, the book contains a good chapter for a short visit to neighboring Armenia. The author is an experienced travel writer (see also his "Rough Guide to Romania") and it shows. You really can't go wrong with this book if you find yourself travelling to this fascinating, off-the-beaten-path part of the world.

Completely Innacurate,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Georgia, 3rd revised (Bradt Travel Guide) (Paperback)
I just purchased this book for trip to Georgia and have to say it hardly helped me at all. It is laid out ok, but the issue that the country is changing so quickly, a 5 year revision turnaround on this book simply doesn't work. Almost all of the practical information is incorrect about transportation, museums, roadways, etc...
If you are planning a trip to Georgia, this may be slightly useful for one or two sites, but you really need to consult the internet for trip reviews from other sites like Trip Advisor or Virtual Tourist.

2000 update on Georgia,
By Clifford L. Jones (Mechanicsburg, PA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Georgia (Paperback)
I have just returned a month's teaching in Georgia and found the Bradt guide amazingly accurate, current and very helpful. The author knows culture, birds, history and politics. Can highly recommend if you plan to visit.
