5.0 out of 5 stars Tells it like it is., 19 Aug 2004
I did most of the French side this summer and found it to be spot on. You could be travelling to a town/city by train and reading about your destination, when you get there its totally like the descriptions in the book. Theres lots of background info on Swiss soceity/culture which helps you to chat with the locals by knowing their frame of reference.

If you want a good holiday in Switzerland you have to travel around and see the natural sights, this book is great for planning your itinery.

Only flaw I spotted was I was walking on a bridge in Bern that wasn't on the LP map and was lost for about 2 minutes.

If visiting, its best to buy this before you travel so you can do a day by day plan. I did and it ran very smoothly thanks to the LP guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars A "must" for English speaking travelers to Switzerland, 14 Aug 2001
By A Customer
I have used this superb guide for the last two weeks while travelling from Geneve to Zurich. I found the introductory chapters very interesting and the practical ones extremely useful. The town maps are accurate and we liked most of the recommendations we tried.

5.0 out of 5 stars A classic of the genre
I really liked this book - heartfelt, witty and not at all mawkish. One for roustabouts. Mr Jackson is to be congratulated.
