Customer Reviews

TO be used for background info....

Eyewitness Guides are a fabulous introduction to the country you are visiting...history, art, culture, food, shopping, architecture, natural wonders, crafts etc - they are BEAUTIFULLY and COPIOUSLY illustrated BUT they should not be used as a guide for recommendations on hotels, restuarants & sites to see. They do contain this information, but the main utility in these great books is for you to get the flavor of the country, and they do a great job. I highly recommend the entire series and a starting point for every journey.

Holland Travel Guide

As with other DK travel guides I have, this one is an invaluable resource. Unlike other travel guides I've seen (and have), DK travel guides are bright, colorful, durable, loaded with photos, and VERY to read and navigate through. Although they do make a dedicated Amsterdam Guide, this guide has nearly 100 pages specifically covering Amsterdam and would be more adequate for all but the longest stays. An incredibly well done guide - I would be hard pressed to come up with any complaint or even a suggestion for improvement...

Great resource for travelers

We used an Eyewitness guide for our trip to London years ago and found it the most helpful of all the guidebooks we had purchsed. The real photos and accurate information made our first trip to Europe go very smoothly. As we plan our second trip, we have not been disappointed by the Amsterdam Eyewitness guide. Again, the striking photographs, maps, and well-organized information makes planning a trip a breeze. Our kids enjoy seeing the places we will visit.

Best travel guide around

I've used some of the Eyewitness Travel Guides on a trip around Europe, they were so useful that when I came home I've bought some more. They are more than travel guides, they are also a souvenir. I totally recommend them. Great pictures, great 3D street maps with suggested routes, great explanations.

Loaded with information

I have used several different travel guides in the past, and the Eyewitness series is one of my favorites. They are colorful and loaded with images, but it's not just eye candy. The images shown are helpful to decide if an attraction interests me enough to actually visit it. The maps are not the easiest to use because finding the referenced map is sometimes difficult. Once you learn the book's system it's not too bad. Some of the driving tour maps are to vague on info. The walking tour maps within a city are very good.
