5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Guide to Transcaucasia Available, April 17, 2000

By 

Kelli - See all my reviews

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.

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Must-Have Guide for Anyone Traveling to Republic of Georgia, January 4, 2008

This review is from: Georgia, 3rd: The Bradt Travel Guide (Paperback)

Like all the Brandt guides I've used, this one provides a wealth of background and planning information for a country with few other comprehensive resources for travelers. Tim Burford writes with clarity and color, making the text a pleasure to read. While no guide can capture every point of interest for every traveler, the Brandt guides always help me find the path to discovering my special places and moments, and the guide to Georgia is no exception.

As with any guide, travelers need to remember that conditions can alter radically in developing countries between the time information for the guide is collected and the time of one's visit.
