Fairly Accurate Tour Guide Book

This book is written where it helps novice and experienced travelers alike. Having never been to Boston before, I examined at least a dozen tour guide books before selecting this one. It offered more information in an easy to understand format than any of the others. Along with lots of maps, it also has phone numbers and website addresses of the numerous attractions that Beantown has to offer. While in Boston, I frequently referred back to this book, saving lots of time and frustration. Well worth the price.

Dumb no longer

I live in Boston but keep a copy of this book on my desk. It's an incredible resource. I find myself using it all the time. The author shares information about sites, events and destinations that my husband and I, with a combined 40 (yes forty!) years of living in Boston, hadn't heard of. I use it to find out about great day trips and "new" (to me) places to take my kids. A must-have if you're visiting Beantown, or even if you're a resident.
