Great Guidebook!,
By Web Shopper Max (Central Illinios) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Czech & Slovak Republics (Insight Guides Czech Republic and Slovakia) (Paperback)
Insight Guides never disappoint. This is no exception. The information is interesting from start to finish. Good organization, lots of background info on the people, culture, customs, history and lots of great photos make the countries come to life even before you get there. I travel a lot, and Insight Guides are far and away my number one choice for travel preparation.
