5.0 out of 5 stars Helpful travel companion., April 9, 2000

By	Grahame R. Davis (Ottawa, ON (Canada)) - See all my reviews

I spent a few weeks in the Netherlands last fall, and found this book to be quite helpful in my travels. Holland is a country filled with quaint little cities and towns, and this guide seemed to capture many of the highlights. It has many good maps, and the information on the Dutch culture and customs is also appreciated. The Fodor's guides are very helpful when travelling in areas one has not visited before. The information in the guide is also up to date and accurate.

4.0 out of 5 stars Luxembourg At last, January 5, 2001

By	Yolanda Colon (Anaheim,Ca,U.S.A) - See all my reviews

You can't imagine my surprise and delight to find a book that had every concievable information I needed on Luxembourg. I am planning to go for the summer and had been going crazy trying to find information and Fodor's The Netherlands,Belgium,Luxembourg has given me every information I need to have an enjoyable trip.It gave me not only the hotels in the city but in the countryside as well. It gives the points of interest in each town or village.The resturants and their prices and the hotels. I am extremely happy. I especially found the 'smart travel tips' to be important for me because I will be traveling alone and independently. The book will be going with me. I like that Fodor gives me a short description of the hotels and resturants and what to expect if I stay in a hotel or eat in a resturant. I was apprehensive when I could not find information on Lux but now I feel like I know the place. Biggest helpful hint. It told me where I could find places to change my money to the local currency and Luxembourg A to Z explains what will happen when I arrive and depart. Very good book.

4.0 out of 5 stars stick to the plan, November 21, 2000

By A Customer

I used this book extensively on a recent trip to Brussels, north to Gent, over to Brughes, up to Antwerp and into Holland via Amsterdam. With the exception of one night, all hotels were booked using their referals. Exceedingly helpful in all respects.
