Intending to visit America? This book is a must!,
By
This review is from: The Rough Guide to the USA (Rough Guide Travel Guides) (Paperback)
After several pre-arranged trips to the USA I decided to embark on a student exchange program which allow for some travel in the final months.I was determined to have a great trip without having planned anything in advance. The crown of Derby's Mr Spontaneity 2002 was in sight! Although in fairness I cannot take all the credit, the book did most of the hard work. It provided me with cheap, often quality accommodation where ever I went. As well as a useful hotel and restaurant guide the book also serves as a great tour tool and it is packed with interesting facts and places you must see! It also includes lots of information of flights, visa's, no-go areas for every traveller. I will never go to the USA again without my trusty companion and if you intend to visit America for any reason I would suggest you pick up a copy too. Happy Travelling! PS. If you are wondering why I didn't give it five stars, it is because the book would not properly fit into my rucksack, let me tell you, there were some 'tense' moments.

I'm going to America ....,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Rough Guide to the USA (Rough Guide Travel Guides) (Paperback)
This is an excellent overview of the US. It is ideal for dipping in and out of when you have no specific area in mind to visit. The book has been writted for the ordinary traveller, with suggestions for several budget bands. I would, though, recommend a regional specific book for more in-depth information when you have decided where you want to visit.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Pretty thorough,
By L. Hayner "leslie319" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Rough Guide to the USA (Rough Guide Travel Guides) (Paperback)
My husband and I are preparing a two week drive across from Maryland to Oregon, so I picked this up to help me plan our route and stops. Based on the author's coverage of places that I know quite well, I'd say they've done as thorough a job as possible considering the size of this country. The largest cities get plenty of space and helpful maps also, but even smaller places get their fair mention. The book covers most major monuments, parks, and attractions, but also gives some good local flavor suggestions for lodging and dining. Lots of history and essential info- phone numbers, websites, hours/ months of operation, etc. Not too many pictures, so if that's what you're looking for, then look elsewhere. If they included pictures, this book would just be too big. I definitely like this one better than Lonely Planet or some of the others- it just has a little more info than some guides.

Best travel guide I've ever used,
By Travel Girl - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Rough Guide to the USA (Rough Guide Travel Guides) (Paperback)
I took this book on a 6-week road trip of the Western US and found this book to be spot-on in just about every respect. I selected it in the first place by looking up what it had to say about my own hometown, which while not entirely laudatory was basically true. It repeatedly steered me toward good food, interesting sights and cheap hotels that weren't seedy or scary. One of the best finds was the Tonga Room in the Fairmont Hotel in San Fransisco - I ordinarily would not have darkened the door of the Fairmont, but the experience was so kitschy and fun.
In addition to providing a lot of great advice, we had a lot of fun reading the book, it's secion on American history and culture, and the descriptions of places we'd been or thought we might like to go. It was written by people I think I would enjoy hanging out with, and the insights were just the right fit for me. |
