5.0 out of 5 stars If You Buy Only One Tour Book For London..., January 3, 2005

I've perused dozens of travel books on Great Britain and London in particular. I especially like the "Eyewitness" books by DK but the "Let's Go 2005" is hands down the most inclusive, user-friendly book I've found. I've actually read it from cover to cover because it's so useful. The maps are helpful but the best parts are the descriptions of hotels/sights/restaurants. I really appreciate the web addresses provided for most of the items (so I could access the sites to see what exhibits will be in the museums, check out restaurant's menus, etc.) This is the book I'm taking with me to London next month.

I found this book to be very helpful overall. It gave lots of details and little things that most tourists might not have looked for. Its only lacking was that some of the 'daytrips' didn't have a lot of detail or maps.

I recently went to London for a week and I took this book with me. I don't know what I would have done without it. It's full of great info from cover to cover and well organized. It was almost like having my own personal tour guide!
