can not praise enough..., May 25, 2001
This review is from: Paris (Citymap Guide) (Paperback)
folks, this is the best idea for a tourbook/map that i have stumbled across yet. i'm not prone to raving, but this will garner praise from me until the cows come home (bearing foot & mouth) no doubt.
so, why is this so great? first of all, it's simple and well designed. the city is broken down into sections. you turn to those pages and there is a brief description of places to eat, shop, etc. the pages then open up into a map of the section with a description of major sites in the area.
brilliant! no fumbling around a big map trying to find your street. no squinting to figure out where you are. it's easy to find landmarks, metro stops, etc.
the card stock is nice and heavy and has lasted well even in my back pocket. the descriptions have been helpful without being too lengthy. and at this price, it's quite competitive with other maps while providing much more.

I love these guides, February 23, 2006
This review is from: Paris (Citymap Guide) (Paperback)
I travel quite a bit and when I travel I try hard not to seem like a "tourist" no big bags, camcorder.. huge guide book and map. I love these guides because they're small and handy. I can pop them in my purse and when I need to pull it out, I don't look lost at all! I love how the guide is laid out by neighborhoods and they have recommendation for restaurants and shops etc.. I have a mapguide for Paris, London, Rome, Barcelona, Madrid and all have been so helpful. I recommend these guides for your next adventure.

This review is from: Paris (Citymap Guide) (Paperback)
Just got back from 7 days in Paris and will never travel without one of these guides again. It was the handiest and most convenient guide. Never got lost!!! We went to several of the recommended resturants and enjoyed them.
