From the Publisher

One Team: A Devotion to Quality There’s just one reason our team is dedicated to producing quality travel publications—you, our reader. We want you to get the maximum benefit from your trip—and from your money. In today’s multiple-choice world of travel, the options are many, perhaps overwhelming. In our guidebooks, we try to minimize the guesswork involved with travel. We scout out the attractions, prioritize them with star ratings, and describe what you’ll discover when you visit them. To help you orient yourself, we provide colorful and detailed, but easy-to-follow maps. Floor plans of some of the major museums help you plan your tour. Throughout the guides, we offer practical information, touring tips and suggestions for finding the best views of the city, a good place for a break or where to make that special purchase. Lodging and dining are always a big part of travel, so we compile a selection of hotels and restaurants that we think convey the feel of the city, and organize them by geographic area and price. We also highlight shopping, recreational and entertainment venues, especially the hot spots. If you’re short on time, two- and four-day itineraries are included so you can hit the highlights and quickly absorb the best of the destination. For those of you who love to experience a destination on foot, we add walking tours, complete with a map. And we list other companies who offer boat, bus or guided walking tours of the city, some with culinary, historical or other themes. In short, we test and retest, check and recheck to make sure that our guidebooks are truly just that: a personalized guide to help you make the most of your visit. After all, we want you to enjoy traveling as much as we do.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor coverage of the Burgundy wine region, March 26, 2007

This review is from: Michelin the Green Guide Burgundy Jura (Michelin Green Guides) (Paperback)

I'm planning a tour of the Burgundy wine region in the Fall and this provided very little assistance and information. It's a very superficial review of the wine region. There is no coverage of the small villages such as Gevrey Chambertin, Volvnay, Morey Denis, or Chambolle Musigny. I'm still looking for another source, but it's not from this guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Companion for a tour of Burgundy, November 12, 2006

By 

Pechmerle (California, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Michelin the Green Guide Burgundy Jura (Michelin Green Guides) (Paperback)

Generally excellent coverage, as usual from the Green Guide series.
Some of the hotel, restaurant, and cafe suggestions included are useful supplements to the Red Guide listings. (It is useful, though, to cross-check the Green Guide hotel suggestions on the [...] web site, to ascertain such features as whether there is air conditioning, an elevator, etc.) There is a good, and very helpful, section of the introduction devoted to the history of the Duchy of Burgundy -- from about 1300 to 1500 a major player on the European geopolitical scene.
