A guide to the Philippines for travellers. It offers a wide range of accommodations, from plush seaside resorts and top-notch hotels to simple, homey inns and guesthouses in off-the-beaten-track locations. Manila, the historically rich multicultural city, is covered, especially its rich and varied cultural and nightlife scene. Readers will discover beautiful and historic places in and near the capital city, as well as remoter landscapes: where to go trekking in cloud-dense mountains and inactive volcanoes; diving, snorkelling and swimming in the many great spots around the country's extensive shoreline; where to go horseback riding and hiking through tropical forests rarely visited by Westerners; or where to relax at the nation's finest resorts and hotels.

Extremely helpful, highly detailed and accurate information.,

This review is from: Open Road's Philippines Guide (Paperback)
I am a traveller from Madrid and was given this book as a gift by a friend from Manila. It was full of everything a traveller who is unfamiliar with an exotic country like the Philippines. When I went there with several friends last year we found the book to be extremely helpful and so accurate in detail that we had an easy time moving around, finding hotels and site-seeing areas. To the authors: thank you for a very relaxing trip to the Philippines!

Philippines guide, 2,
By HF (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Philippines Guide, 2nd Edition (Paperback)
We were being assigned to the Philippines and I browsed through all the travel books available on the country. I chose this (the first edition) because i liked the way it was written and that the writers live in the Philippines. Let me tell you, I was not disappointed! In fact i found both the information provided and the personalized descriptions of places to stay and eat very helpful. When the second edition came out i bought it and passed on my old copy to a friend. The 2nd edition has new information (unlike others that i have found are almost completely re-writes of past editions) and continues to be a more personal travel guide. I will be sorry to leave the country and this book has helped my family enjoy our travels.
