5.0 out of 5 stars Better than a map!, January 18, 2007

This review is from: Top 10 San Diego (EYEWITNESS TOP 10 TRAVEL GUIDE) (Paperback)

I love DK books and this one is no exeption! It was everything I expected from DK and more. I bought this book for a trip to San Diego that my husband and I recently took. This book was a lifesaver! The maps in the book were clear and easy to follow, the information on different sites was great; we carried this book with us in the camera bag and refered to it often. The maps were clear enough that we used them to successfully navigate through the city (I also had seperately purchased a very expensive laminated map of the city which proved to be useless and a waste of money). If you want the basics (top 10 everything) and a really good set of maps, this is definately the book for you! The book refers to the sunsets at Point Loma - don't miss this! They were absolutely breathtaking! By talking to the locals, we found several great restaurants that were not "touristy" and therefore not listed in the book. We were pleased with all recommendations, but Fish Tacos at South Beach Bar in Ocean Beach is a must! Inexpensive ($3 & $4), fresh and delicious!

DK Eyewittness always produce great travel guides especially there 10 ten sites. Its easy to read, small enough to carry around and has little gems of advice in there.

5.0 out of 5 stars Top 10 gets a 10!, August 1, 2008

This review is from: Top 10 San Diego (EYEWITNESS TOP 10 TRAVEL GUIDE) (Paperback)

I've had this book for almost two years now. I originally started out visiting San Diego frequently, and now have lived here in SD for 2 months.

At first I used this book for the map, to learn where things are, and also to compile a list of things I wanted to do. My boyfriend and I usually set out to do one of those things on each trip that I would come to San Diego. This book was so helpful with that - for example on our visit to the zoo reading the top 10 was helpful because it gave me a sense of what the park had to offer, and what was in my own top things to see.

Now that I live here, I still use this book! I brought it with me just last week to Balboa Park, and I also use before I have friends to visit - I'll flip through and think of them and what might interest them. I even still open it up to look at the restaurants, bars, ect. And just as the other people have mentioned, I use the map all the time (And love that they have a flap so you can mark a page with them).

I highly recommend this book! It is my only San Diego guidebook!
