2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, March 7, 2003

By	Tim K. (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews

We love other DK "Eyewitness Guides," but this one didn't cut the mustard. It worked well as an travel overview of the region, but failed to mention several important points such as days and hours of operation and entrance fees to attractions, which we were stung by several times. A specific example was their recommendation of snorkeling at John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park. The book lists it as one of the best snorkeling spots in the U.S., but failed to mention that in order to see anything other than sea grass and the occassional crab, you are required to make reservations on a guided snorkeling boat. The guide also lacked directions. The maps that were included were insufficient. The restaurant recommendations we tried were fine, though, and we appreciated, as usual, the fine photos and "streetsmart" section.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice!, July 7, 2005

By	Yogini "Yogini the Signature Artist" (USA) - See all my reviews

Nice! Excellent! You may need to get Lonely Planet's 'Miami & the Keys' for such a metropolis as Miami & the Keys. But still one of the simple books on travel for this region.

5.0 out of 5 stars Get the highlights then move on to heavier reading, May 4, 2007

By	Michael Mathis (Yokohama, Japan) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Miami and the Keys (DK Eyewitness Top 10 Travel Guide) (Paperback)

This is exacly what it claims to be. It is a collection of top 10 lists. For the quick and dirtly low-down on Miami, it is a great place to start. It is NOT a stand alone guide to a city that has a great abundance of experiences for visitors to the area. Combine this with the Insight Guide Insight City Guide Miami (Insight Guide Miami)for a comprehensive guide to a great city.
