Customer Reviews

Very good for what it is--but it's not comprehensive

This travel guide to New Zealand wins five stars for two reasons. First, this book explodes with dozens and dozens of color photographs and color maps. You cannot help but be "wowed" with the beauty of the nation of New Zealand, as well as the beauty of this book. Second, this travel guide points out--using a star system--(1.) how naturally beautiful; (2.) how kid-friendly; (3.) how historically intersting; (4.) how walkable, and (5.) how photo-friendly a whole list of cities and regions are. This information is precious because it helps you plan out your trip accordingly. (By the way, I took this book with me to New Zealand, and I found their rankings accurate and very helpful.) But this guide alone won't be sufficient for travel in New Zealand. You'll have to add another one or two guides that are far more chock-full of details and practical information than "Fodor's See It New Zealand" is. My suggestion is "The Rough Guide to New Zealand," which served as my go-to lifesaver when I was over their on my honeymoon.

Delivered what it promised

Lots of insights and useful information for anyone traveling to Austria.

music lover's delight

If you are visiting Austria for the Mozart festivities, this is the book for you. Calendar of events is included as well as the usual Fodor rundown on hotels, restaurants and sights along with price range. Covers both cities well plus trips on the Danube. Only caveat: the index--could not find individual hotel names thru index, had to search through each city's listings. The recommended hotels were mostly the expensive ones. Good background material on Mozart and his world as well as Hapsburg dynasty Vienna.
