Lacking in Substance,
By
This review is from: Top 10 Madeira (Eyewitness Top 10 Travel Guides) (Paperback)
First issued in 2005, the "newness" of this book is its strong point -- i.e., hotel and restaurant recommendations are very current. However, the book is not a stand alone tour guide for Madeira. Its maps are totally inadequate in their level of detail, its coverage of things to do/see varies from excellent to sketchy. I would recommend it only as a companion guide to a more comprehensive tour book.
5.0 out of 5 stars
A great quick guide to Madeira - Funchal,
By Chloe (Lisboa - Portugal) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Top 10 Madeira (Eyewitness Top 10 Travel Guides) (Paperback)
I went to Madeira for 3 days and took this guide and I'm glad I did it. It focus more on Funchal but with so litle time its ideal to plane the days and not waste one second of time.
It has great info about all the best places and I found the bus information the most usefull for people like me, who wanted to save money but enjoy the trip at the same time. It has lots of pictures of what to expect, usefull information about the island, info on prices, small maps and the best locations and monuments: the very best top 10 of places you just have to visit while in Madeira, places like The Catedral of funchal, Museu de Arte sacra, Adegas, Jardim Botânico, Mercado dos Lavradores, Monte, Curral das Freiras, Pico do Areeiro and many more.

not a stand alone guide, but nice to have along,

This review is from: Top 10 Madeira (Eyewitness Top 10 Travel Guides) (Paperback)
this book is definitely not a stand alone guide, but makes a great quick reference to the hit points (top 10 local dishes, top 10 gardens, top 10 beaches, etc). The most useful page was the top 10 warnings - none of our other guidebooks mentioned that you'd be charged for the garlic bread at restaurants even though you didn't order it or about taxi drivers ripping off tourists - this definitely helped us on our trip! You can probably find the book cheaper elsewhere, as we did, so it's worth your while.
