5.0 out of 5 stars the best buy in travel guides, 23 Jun 2005
By Alejandra Vernon "artist & illustrator" (Long Beach, California) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Boston (DK Eyewitness Travel Guide) (Hardcover)
The layout of the Eyewitness Travel Guides is outstanding; they separate cities by areas and color code each area, with tabs on the side of the book to make the area easy to find. There is a map of all the central color coded areas on the inside of the front cover, and inside the back cover, a more complete map of the region.
Each chapter is a "color", covering Back Bay and South End, Beacon Hill and West End, North End and the Waterfront, Old Boston and Financial District, and Chinatown and the Theater District.
There is a final "Farther Afield" chapter that covers Cambridge, the JFK Library and Museum, as well as his birthplace, which is a fascinating, small house in Brookline, the Museum of Fine Arts, the U.S.S. Constitution in Charlestown, and much more.

For those like me who can't live without maps, there are plenty of them. Each chapter starts with an area map that has numbered location markers, and other pages have highway and train maps, a six page "Street Finder", and more.
As well as information on all the sights to see in this great city, you get "The History of Boston", "Boston Through the Year", "Travelers' Needs", with hotels, restaurants, entertainment, etc. A "Survival Guide" that covers emergency, banking, and practical concerns, and is a must for any foreign visitors to the city, ends this most useful of all guide books.

I lived in the Boston area for many years, and appreciated its rich history and beauty, and there is no single guide that represents the city as well as this one.
With sturdy construction and terrific photography, reproduced on thick, glossy pages, if you're travelling to Boston, or any major city (I also have the Chicago, San Francisco, and New York City books), Eyewitness Travel Guides are the first, and maybe the only, guide book you'll need.

3.0 out of 5 stars Boston Top Ten Guide, 14 Jun 2009
By Heather Barfoot "HEB" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Boston (DK Eyewitness Top 10 Travel Guide) (Paperback)
These Top Ten Guides are so handy for short city trips. It provides a great taster for Boston. The book neatly find in your handbag or large pocket and provide useful information, facts and hints for your stay. Things to do and what not to do, where to stay, historical facts and walks, what to do with the kids, what to eat and so much more.

However, this starter guide is not a replacement for its big brother/sister which will provide you with greater detail and a stronger flavour of your chosen destination.

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Boston (DK Eyewitness Top 10 Travel Guide) (Paperback)
Just the job!

Slips nicely into the pocket not only for a quick reference but also saves on valuable baggage weight! Afterall, you can collect plenty of toursit info when you get there.

No sacrificing of the high DK stadards either.
