The Top Ten guidebook is the one and only book I recommend to those visiting DC. We live in the area and still use this guidebook to discover or rediscover the tourist spots in DC. The main advantage this book is the prioritization of sites and restaurants and as mentioned above its physical size. We have many of the other guidebooks to DC, but this is the only one that we actually use. If you plan on visiting this guidebook is a must have.

I ordered several guides for washington d.c. this guide was by far the lightest one with excellent pictures and really easy to read maps. Maps you can even take out!! This is the only guide you should need! I order guides all the time for all the traveling we do and this one is by far one of the simplest and consise i have ever seen. It's really good.

We spent over a week in DC, and this book was perfect. The metro map, the street map, and the write-ups for each of the Top 10 categories were all perfect. We never were wanting for information. This book was a perfect companion to our DC vacation. You can't head to DC without this book. Plus, it's not too bulky to carry around as you discover our nation's capital!

Like another reviewer noted, the amount of info packed into this tiny, convenient-to-carry-around book is amazing (and amazingly well-organized). I'm fairly new to the area, and when my parents came to visit, they said this book was like their life jacket when they explored while I was at work. The maps, too, are super handy: you don't have to worry about juggling fifty different items while on the DC Metro, etc., since everything you need is right here. Indispensible for any trip to DC where you'll be doing any sight-seeing - even a short one.

The guide offers a good balance between size and content. The information included provides good insight into DC-area attractions.
However, the format of the included map is somewhat challenging. It looks like a winning entry in an origami contest. On the positive side, the map size is OK.

This is is even more awesome than I thought it was going to be! It's a compact size and it has so much information and a lot of pictures which are really nice. It tells prices of activities and restaurants in the city, show you where the places are on a map. It has page full of things to do with the kids and things to do with nightlife. Everything you'd ever want about Memorials and it has maps of Smithsonian Museums, so you choose what you want to see then follow the map and go there! It has a portable map to. Also tells you the best shops and other sites just outside the city. It has Hotel choses at the very back of the book if your looking for one but It's only 2 pages so there is still a lot to see in this book. I totally recommend buying it!!!

I have used the DK top ten books in several cities. They are compact and when spare moments apear very practical. The public transportation maps can't be beat for convinence. I recommend them to anyone who travels even if you have a bigger book.

I had traveled to DC before but I bought this book for my travel partner who had never been in the area. There were great suggestions for places to eat and what to see. It includes websites and phone numbers for all of the place suggestions and it also gives you hours of operation. The absolute best part about this book is the included map. It gives you an easy to read map of the city and a transit map that is super helpful on the go. I would definitely recommend this product if you're spending a few days in DC and you need suggestions.

Handy size but honestly, if you are buying this as a traveler (knowing you are already going into the city) the hotel suggestion section isn't really necessary. More restaurant suggestions would be nice.

I found it to be helpfull, good low priced restuarants
nice pocket size. better than my other guides

Good details in a small package, including a useful map of course. The graphics are every good, like most publications from DK, but the text print seems very small.
