4.0 out of 5 stars Very good but would buy the regional ones for more detail., October 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Michelin THE GREEN GUIDE Great Britain, 2e (THE GREEN GUIDE) (Paperback)

As usual, the Michelin Green Guide was very good. The detailed descriptions were accurate and helpful. Next time I would get the guide for the specific regions for even more detail. The only complaint I can think of is that I would prefer a locational organization as opposed to an alphabetical one.

This review is from: Michelin the Green Guide Great Britain (Michelin Green Guides) (Paperback)

I spent some time in Europe and England, and have always relied on Michelin Green Guides while sightseeing. The only problem I have with this(and other) Green Guides is they can be too general at times. That is, some of the off the beaten path sights are not covered. I have other Green Guides from 30 years ago that I read now and then for memory jogging.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great supplementary guide for history buffs, July 16, 2001

This review is from: Michelin THE GREEN GUIDE Great Britain, 2e (THE GREEN GUIDE) (Paperback)

We visited England last year, and the Michelin Green guide was very helpful in planning a terrific trip. I don't think I would recommend it as the primary guide; it lacks information on restaurants and accomodation, and, as another reviewer noted, the alphabetical layout makes it hard to choose which general regions you would like to visit. To supplement another book though (we used the Rough Guide),it can be very helpful. The real strength, we found, was in pointing out historic points of interest. It gave a great deal of information about places that the other guide books only provide sketchy information on.
