Customer Reviews

Loved this book!

This is my 4th LG book and I haven't been disappointed yet. What I like most about this series is that the writers are about the same age as I am, so they know which place I would most likely want to visit. In my opinion, it has the most detailed info (compared to other travel guides, I also bought the Lonely Planet New England). I wish LG also had a New England book. I used the interesting tidbits in the book about the places I visited for my picture captions, and people always tell me they never knew that, even Bostonians! Overall, I'm very happy with LG and will continue buying it for my future travels.

Best Guide! everything u need to SEE this city

I bought this book right before I moved to Boston because I didn't know anyone here to show me around. I've used it religiously. And so has everyone else that has been to my apartment: roommates and visitors alike. The info is useful, accurate, and most importantly, the sites that are most affordable are in here... *perfect* for a recent college grad or budget-minded traveler. Now that I've lived in Boston for 2 years now, I still find it useful whenever someone comes to visit and I need ideas. It's seriously the best book you can buy for this city. Here's a tip: The Blue Man Group show is great. Better yet, you can see it FOR FREE!!!! As an usher. Just call the Charles Playhouse (info in book), ask to be an usher, they'll schedule you, give you the full behind-the-scenes experience and it's SOoo much fun cleaning up at the end (believe it or not!). Not many ppl know this, even the locals, so take advantage of this!

Excellent resource at your finger tips/Boston Rocks!!

This book was unbelievable for this location. Compared to fodor's, frommers and the like it had the most user friendly context. Their was some cool insights into the city, its history, and its culture. Easy to find information on all topics with colored tabs on the edge of the page so you can jump from nitelife, to food, to lodging, to transportation. Very handy when your on the street or on the "T" subway.What more could I recommend about this book is that their headquarters is right next to Harvard Univ.Other great things about Boston. A very small city, clean and user friendly. Bostonians are very helpful and aren't as bad since this Nor Cal Guy was expecting East Coast "Jerks". Must Sees1. Fenway, $20 standing room only tickets or at least do the tour. 2. Duck Tour, very fun and goes in the charles river. 3. Liberty trail. A great walking/trolley tour of the historic boston. Maybe 5 miles, but i did it at a snails pace in about 6 hours. 4. buy a $37 citypass (citypass.com) that includes;JFK Library, Harvard Mus, Science Mus, MFA(MusFineAart, my fav), Prudential Bldg, Aquarium. 5. Go in the summer!!6. Get wkly T line pass for $16.50 and it includes buses, downtown trains and water taxi (Jul 2004) Good Luck and you'll Love it!!

highly informative!

This book is useful not only for travellers on a tight budget, but for those who plan to move to the city.
