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.

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.

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.

I use several travel guides but always refer to Michelin Travel Guides to get a flavor of the history/time line, geography, weather, and special events of a country. You can't beat Amazon prices.

Always use Michelin to plan a vacation. Gives great assessment of sites in a country. Wish it were on iPad.

Michelin guides are always useful and almost complete.
I've used several in my trips, and am using this one to plan this year's.
Nice to keeep, too, since it's very well printed.
Caution: for accommodations, eateries or transport, you'll probably need some other type of guide also. This is excellent for sightseeing and general background on the country.
