Philly travel guide

Great guide. Used it to find the best places to see since we were only there a couple days. Found a great cheesesteak place off the beaten path thanks to Frommer's.

Very useful for a recent trip

I looked at a few different travel books for Philadelphia before selecting this one. I really liked the book's layout -- very logical and straightforward, with useful itineraries, accurate descriptions of sights, and interesting walking tours. The food suggestions I tried panned out nicely, with the ranking/discussion of cheesesteak spots much appreciated. And I found a place to stay that was reasonably priced, clean, and centrally located through this book. Very good.

Very organized and informative.

Needed a good basic book on Philly. This one is very organized and thorough and easy to read.
