Book Description

Insight Guide Vietnam December 1, 2002
A travel series unlike any other, Insight Guides go beyond the sights and into reality. Their incomparable photojournalistic approach captures the uniqueness of each culture they cover: their traditions, their arts, their history, their lives. The stunning photography is married to compelling text, written by local writers; the people most qualified to convey their culture's "secrets".

Yes, Insight Guides will tell you which attractions to visit, but they'll also tell you a whole lot more. From the most popular resort cities to the world's most remote and exotic villages, Insight Guides will give you the insider's perspective you need to truly experience any destination you visit.

Insight Guides serve many purposes. They are ideal for planning a trip. And, they're wonderful souvenirs to treasure for years after. Even the armchair traveler can be swept away by their magnificent content and experience the world from the comfort of home.

Many international and domestic and domestic destinations also offer companion FlexiMaps, an innovative laminated folding map specially designed for the discriminating traveler.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for the first time traveler!!, April 27, 2009
This review is from: Insight Guide Vietnam (Paperback)
This is a good basic book on travels to Viet Nam. Its very informative though several years outdated. As I travel to South East Asia frequently the information is pretty accurate and the maps are certainly helpful. I suggest you search the internet for hotels under US $40.00 dollars a day with breakfast included.

4.0 out of 5 stars More descriptive, not really a directory, March 16, 2011
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Insight Guide Vietnam (Paperback)
This is a good companion guide to something like Lonely Planet or the latest internet information. It has more extensive writing about the history and geography of the country, and less hotel and restaurant listings. It also has a lot of great pictures to get you excited. I would not rely on it as an only source of information, but as a supplement. I like to know more about the places I go than just the best bars and the coolest shops. This is a book I didn't finish before my trip, but instead took with me to read and absorb the background of areas as I was travelling through them.

This review is from: Insight Guide Vietnam (Paperback)
Good basic, mainstream travel info.
Lots of great pictures - which I find preferable to travel guides with no pictures. I like to see the places I'm reading about.
