Customer Reviews

Eyewitness is Awesome

This book, like all the other Eyewitness books, was awesome. It provided so much information about seeing the U.S. Whether looking for tourist attractions, general information, facts about each state, or hotel and restaurant suggestions, this book provides it all - with tons of pictures to boot.

The best travel guide ever!

This is the second travel guide of DK which I bought. And I love it so much! I can turn over the pages for hours. There are so many beautiful pictures, I feel like I wanna travel to every single place covered in this book. I would definitely recommend this book to everyone who wants to travel in the US.

Useful purchase

Have used this book before when travelling around the USA and found this book to be very helpful-details of places to visit are superb reason for the purchase of a new book is we have given the old one to family who are travelling the USA this year.

The Starting Place For Every Trip

My work has provided me with the opportunity to travel a good bit. I am the type of person who wants to get a working background for my destinations, both in terms of history and geographic layout. Because I work, I don't have a great deal of time to spend reading and studying different, often lengthy, travel guides before or during my trips. Because these guides are concise, beautifully illustrated, relatively compact, and impeccably organized, I cannot recommend highly enough the Dorling Kindersley Eyewitness Travel Guides! The DK Eyewitness Travel Guide is THE guide I buy for every destination. Not only do I get a quick history and background of the destination, but I also will be provided with a visual guide to everything. The visual detail is really what sets the DK Eyewitness Travel Guides apart. The street maps of common destination points are drawn in dimensional detail so you will visually recognize when you "get there." The regional maps are colorful and concise. And the drawings associated with attractions like museums allow the traveler who is short on time to quickly see the best of the museum within the time the traveler has to spend. Each DK Eyewitness Travel Guide has a good summary section in the back with practical information about where to eat, where to sleep, what to do, and how to get around. While I may supplement the DK Eyewitness Travel Guide with others for a more detailed travel guide, the other guide is only more to read, not more to see. Buy the DK Eyewitness Travel Guide first for any destination.
