Customer Reviews

Frommers Charleston

A good resource. We used it a bit, especially the maps. Charleston is one of those towns that you just have to get out of your car and get lost on foot.

Guide to Charleston

I used one of Frommer's guides to Savannah and had a fabulous trip there. The same maps and reviews of hotels, restaurants, and sights to see are included in this guide. It also includes a bit of history and some travel tips. Great guides to make first time visits fun. I may buy one of local cities to see what might be interesting to see. Highly advised.

Frommer's Portable Charleston (Frommer's Portable)

Very good. Down to 4 stars because the info becomes dated very quickly. Look for newest edition.

You need this for a first trip to Charleston.

I just returned from Charleston and used this book. It was a joy to use. Best little travel guide I've seen. It covers the major information for planning a trip and then it becomes a highly portable reference book while there. Highly recommend this book and "The Best Little Map Of Charleston". You need little else

I was able to make the most of my time

I found everything I was looking for and more in this small, easy-to carry guide. Not only did I find exact prices for hotels and restaurants, I also learned about low country cooking, the architecture in Charleston, and a brief history. All of this was in this little guide that I could fit in my purse!
