Only guide that does this underrated gem justice, 27 July 2009
By Heather "Here To Help" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Bulgaria (DK Eyewitness Travel Guides) (Vinyl Bound)
I picked up this book purely out of curiousity while browsing in the bookstore. The only exposure I'd had to Bulgaria as a tourist destination was the show from Rick Steves, which whetted my appetite but didn't leave me compelled to go. Then I picked up this book expecting a ho-hum response (after all you hear so little about it) and instead Bulgaria has shot to the top of my list of most desirable destinations. I'm working on going next year and am learning some of the language now. After viewing the amazing photos in this book, it compelled me to do further research online for more photos and information and I now realize what an underrated gem Bulgaria is. Black and white words in your ordinary travel guide can't do it justice, and I would never have realized what I was missing without the gorgeous full color photographs and architectural cutaways of this book. I wouldn't rely on the hotel and restaurant listings in the DK Eyewitness guides because I would want to use a guide that is more frequently updated and budget minded (I recommend Rick Steves Eastern Europe), however, this book cannot be beat for the armchair traveller, someone deciding where they should go (the pictures really help), or someone inspired by beautiful photos. It covers a lot of the countryside and small towns as well as big cities.

Best guidebook about Bulgaria, 13 April 2009
By Rossitza Ohrdiska-Olson "Travelng Frog" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Bulgaria (DK Eyewitness Travel Guides) (Vinyl Bound)
Compared with other guidebooks, this is the best, when it comes to useful information for individuals visiting Bulgaria without an organized trip.Mr. Bousfield book covers extensively history, customs, geography, and, above all, all necessary information which helps the reader to get the best travel experience. It is also brilliantly written, very well researched and beautifully illustrated.
As a cultural tourism travel consultant, I have to research a lot of guidebooks about the region of my specialization - South Eastern Europe.
With its reliable information, useful tips, and overall responsible approach to travel writing, this book is an exception from the bunch of poorly researched, trashing the country or full with factual mistakes "guidebooks" out there.

Best travel book about Bulgaria, period!, 9 Jan 2012
By DRK - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Bulgaria (DK Eyewitness Travel Guides) (Paperback)
As a native Bulgarian living in the US for 15+ years, I can tell you that you won't find a better travel book about Bulgaria. I go back home every year and continue to discover unknown local gems thanks to this book. Well done DK!
