5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect travel companion, December 6, 2003

By	Vineeth Subramanyam "Author, Everyday Cooking... (Chicago, IL, USA) - See all my reviews

Buying travel guides isn't exactly my thing - not suprising that it took me only minutes to get frustrated in the bookstore with the plethora of options available. For my purposes, I was looking for a book that would highlight must-see attractions, must-dine restaurants (I'm a food buff), must-walk streets, must-do road trips, etc. And critical that all this had to be presented in a easy to read manner, preferably as a simple bulletted list rather than paragraphs of information. But my biggest requirement was this: the guide had to be small enough (and light) to fit in my coat pocket, leaving my hands free as they should be.

From all these angles and more, the Eyewitness Top 10 guide was the clear winner. Not only does the book provide top 10 attractions for the city as a whole, but it also mentions top 10 things to do within each attraction - e.g., you'll find top 10 things to do at the british museum, top 10 things to do at tate modern (with a list of must-see art works and where they're located within the museum), etc. Further, the book seems to recognize that people have different styles of exploring new cities because the organization of the book makes it really simple to plan your day according to a variety of themes: attractions, eateries and even neighborhoods - so you'll know what to do if you plan to spend an entire day around westminster & the south bank OR around covent gardens, for example. There is also a listing of the top 10 restaurants around each area which really came in handy. The book is full-color with detailed (yet to-the-point) maps, pictures, underground tube map, directions, etc. The book also contains quite a bit of trivia about each location, but the best part is the presentation - short & sweet and never overwhelming.

The book contains a whole section on "Streetsmarts" which really helped me with the most basic of things - from understanding the foreign currency to making a phone call. Great section! I'm pretty sure I'll end up getting top 10 guides from this series for other european cities for future trips - they're easily the best travel guides I've found. And at less than 10 bucks a pop, can't imagine another guide that can even think of competing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Five stars for the Top Ten Series, May 25, 2005

By	H. Cassell (Portland, OR) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I usually don't bring guidebooks along with me when I travel but this made the cut based on its small size and weight. It was fairly invaluable and I found myself consulting it a lot on my recent trip. The printed Tube map is a great feature--nice to have one with me at all times. The book is divided into sections like museums (where it lists top ten things to see at each one), shopping, and restaurants, and further divided by must-sees in each London neighborhood. There are trivia and history included throughout, lots of helpful hints, and full-color pictures. The authors are full-time/native Londoners, so the information comes from a trustworthy place. I didn't feel bombarded with information as I do with other travel guides. Will definitely buy from this Top Ten line again, and at $10 each, the price couldn't be better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Compact and comprehensive guide, April 8, 2006

By	R. J. Marsella (California) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This is a great guide for several reasons.
1. It is small and can fit in your jacket pocket for quick reference.
2. It is well organized by neighborhood.
3. the recommendations are right on.
4.the maps are extremely useful.

There are larger more detailed guidebooks out there. In fact I've used the standard eyewitness guidebook to London on a previous trip and it was great. This version is perfect for a returning visitor who wants some help navigating around London but has a basic familiarity with where things are.
