1. I've taken Fodor's guides with me on many trips and have found them to always be a reliable and ready companion. Their suggested sightseeing tours and ample lists of museums, lodging, and restaruants have helped me find efficient outings into new cities and countries. It's often intimidating to travel to a foreign destination, but the competency of Fodor's guides with their well constructed presentation have often made me the most confident of travelers.



2. I just got back from spending spring break in London. This book, which stayed in my backpack, and the Lonely Planet's Condensed Guide, which stayed in my pocket, helped my mother and I have an incredible time. Rather than sticking to a rigid itinerary, we planned our day the night before, with a rough to-do list of places we wanted to see and things we had to do. Substantial background information is given for main attractions and contact information and the nearest tube stop are given for all attractions. The pull-out map provided, however, was pretty useless.



3. ..........I carried this book with me around London each day and found it priceless! Comes complete with a maps, guide to all the sites major and minor (with descriptions of each, hours and days open, and even tube stops), as well as guides to lodgings, restaurants, nightspots and day trips outside of London, etc. At the same time the book is fairly compact so is easy to carry around with you. Using this book, it was very simple to plan an itinerary and to find my way around the streets of London! Very recommended!



4. Having been to London twice in 2001, I can say that I relied heavily on my Fodor's. It gives you clear concise, and most importantly, accurate information on almost any topic or question. For example, I did not believe them when they said you should reserve ahead for Buckingham Palace. Sadly, they were right, and I could not get tickets. They also told me that I would probably not be able to visit the Millenium Dome as it was closed and up for sale. London is arranged by neighborhoods, so the first part of the book dealing with sightseeing is arranged accordingly. There is a large foldout map in a back pocket, but also each section gives you small maps, which are arranged so that you can do a self-guided walking tour. I found these quite invaluable. I did look at the restaurant section for a general impression, but did not rely on the restaurant or hotel section, although one could. This forms the second half of the book. However, in the back there is also information about shopping, outdoor life, activities for kids, and at the very back an index of vital information, everything from how to use buy a London Travel Card, how to change money, or make an international call.

1. We're planning a special New Year's Eve celebration at our house and I was looking for a book to read at bedtime with my three-year-old to prepare her for the festivities. She and I enjoyed sharing this book. It's not too long for bedtime and it highlights celebrations around the world, which is nice. With the millenium craze, I would recommend this book to parents of preschoolers looking to explain what the fuss is all about.
