Nice pictures, but,

This review is from: Loire Valley (DK Eyewitness Travel Guide) (Paperback)
I bought a DK book after being impressed by the glossy pictures in friend's DK Italy book a few years ago.
Whilst the book really does have some excellent photos of the places to see, it is a bit weak on telling you where to miss. A little to rich on the superlatives to describe the rich history of the region and a little light on the more current attractions. Everything is rosy, but a little bland in DK land - not objective enough. Perhaps I was just missing the Rough Guide?

A must-have for anyone visitting the Loire Valley,
This review is from: Loire Valley (DK Eyewitness Travel Guide) (Paperback)
I used this guide for my one-week driving vacation on the Loire Valley and it was of great help.It's hard to decide where to go, especially when we're visitting a large region (as opposed to a city), and idle driving must be avoided. The guide helped a lot in the planning. (AA maps, ISBN 0749544112 and 0749544066, which I also bought from Amazon, were of paramount importance too.) I only visited the Anjou and the Touraine regions (which are only a part of the Loire region), and for what I could see for myself the information in the book is accurate. Taveler's needs sections (specially 'Where to stay' and 'Where to eat') were also of significant help: I stayed in two of the suggested châteaux and dined in one of the restaurants and couldn't be more satisfied. But I would add some suggestions of my own...

Another excellent guidebook from the leaders in travel books -- DK Eyewitness!,
By Jeffrey Matthew Cohen - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Loire Valley (DK Eyewitness Travel Guides) (Turtleback)
I've been reading and collecting DK Eyewitness Guides for years (I have about 30 current editions). Aside from the fantastic photos and detailed diagrams, the text is very informative. These guidebooks combine rich style with substance. And their guidebook to the Loire Valley is no exception (I don't know what the other reviewer could have missed -- maybe she's never been to France!) Either way, I strongly suggest this item, as well other titles from DK!

Loire Valley (Eyewitness Travel Guides),
By S. Petersen "sallyp" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Loire Valley (DK Eyewitness Travel Guides) (Turtleback)
I was extremely disapointed with this book. It's just pretty pictures with very little useful information.
I will never buy another Eyewiness guide again. |
