Bogota and Beyond

I just got back from a visit to Bogota, and the guide was invaluable. While my husband had to work, I was free to sightsee and shop, and explore Colombian cuisine. The guide helped me establish where I wanted to go, how to get there, and what precautions were necessary to take. Of course, knowing how to speak Spanish was very helpful (I am far from fluent, but with a little help from Rosetta Stone, and my English-Spanish dictionary, I was able to hold conversations.) I printed out the e-book, and like the author said, I was able to take only those pages that I needed on any given day.

Easy to read and to the point!

I've never been to Colombia and was always a little afraid to even think about travelling there because of all the past problems, but the author made me much more comfortable about putting it on my list of future travel. I always buy Frommers as a reference and they're great but I only end up reading a fraction of the book. Bogota and Beyond was easy to read and very much to the point about the essentials of travelling there. I like the fact that I'm reading a travel book from someone who is actually living life in the place they're writing about. The pictures are a big plus!

I ALWAYS PREFER THE EYES OF A LOCAL

Bogotá and Beyond: A One of A Kind Guidebook to Bogotá, Colombia with over 350 Pictures Traveling anywhere, if I can see the accomodations, sights, restaurants and get a general feel for the area, I try to purchase this type of guide. Mr. Johnson did exactly as he set out to do, provide thumbnail sketches of all of the above with a local's eye to cost and interest. It is not your formulaic guide by a large publisher; but someone who knew the area, costs, and relative value for your money. I saved the cost of the book my first day in the city and saw things not included in the other guides. Well Done.

Loved It!!

As a frequent traveler and purchaser of many travel books, I sincerely appreciated the time saved in researching accommodations and restaurants. The pictures in the guide book and the e-book were very helpful. Money well spent.

I wish I had this book when I went to Bogota

The first time I went to Bogota I stayed at a crap hotel that was in one of the other popular guidebooks that, of course, had no pictures of hotels. I wish I had this book then. While i wish I did not to not have to experience the first night in Bogota, the city turned out to be a great place.
