5.0 out of 5 stars A Brilliant guide ... just heavy to carry!, 4 Dec 2001
This review is from: Great Britain (Eyewitness Travel Guides) (Hardcover)
For those new to the DK Eyewitness books I cannot recommend them highly enough for their clear guide content, pictures, diagrams and information. I have found that it replaces the need to buy a guide book in many attractions (eg Westminster Abbey) as there is sufficient info contained to satisfy most travellers' interests. The guide is broken down neatly into regions with basic maps which makes it easy to use when on a driving holiday or planning your day's itinerary. On the downside, the 672 glossy pages, though beautiful, get very heavy in your backpack etc when you are on your feet all day.

In summary, I love these guides and search for them first when visiting anywhere new.

A final note to answer another's review, there are separate guides for Scotland, Ireland, London etc that cover those areas in more detail.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best travel guide of Britain, 20 April 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Great Britain (DK Eyewitness Travel Guide) (Paperback)
Covering every imaginable spot of interest in Great Britain and packed with maps and color pictures, this is a travel guide you could enjoy just reading like a novel. The attractive layout and photos of locations and attractions really help you decide what to include in your itinerary. Color diagrams of museums, castles and sightseeing districts makes you feel more in control and less lost. With this guide and a car, we traveled for a month and were never disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent guide, 9 Oct 2008
By T. Bently "tbently" (Berkshire, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Great Britain (DK Eyewitness Travel Guide) (Hardcover)
A huge amount of effort and research has gone into this chunky guide. Just choosing the pictures must have been a mammoth task: they're all up to date, in colour and give a clear idea of the delights of the various cities and attractions.

I used to work in a visitor information office in Wales and found the section on South Wales particularly well done, especially since it's an area off the typical tourist track. The only thing which let it down was the hotel recommendations. They tend to be in areas often way outside of town and city centres, so aren't much use to those travelling without cars.

It may be a little heavy to carry round with you, but it's ideal as a reference source if you're at home researching a trip and want to sort out an itinary. Well done again Dorling Kindersley!
