Rating: - Never travel without a Spiral
We have decided that from now on we're only going to visit places that have a Sprial Guide written about them - they have become indispensible to us over the past few years - Barcelona, Venice, Florence and now Paris. There's just the right mix of travellers' tips, interesting facts about the place, good up-to-date information re opening times, prices etc. The maps are suberb (though why does the street we're on always land on a join?!). And the best thing of all is the SPIRAL!! - No losing your place when the book shuts itself, no broken spines, no need for a bookmark - Genius!!
Rating: - the best travel guides for the not-fussy
we used the spiral guide for our paris trip and found it the most user friendly. it neatly divides the city and four or five areas, each of which can be covered in a day or less, with easy to follow walking tours and great quality photos. it does not go too in-depth like the lonely planet or time out guides but that suited us fine.we will only be using the spiral guides for our next city-breaks. AA's onto a winner here.
Rating: - inofrmative, easy to use guide
I purchased this book for my teenage daughter who has just returned from Paris, she found it to be very informative and easy to use. Normally she wouldn't even bother to look at a guide or book but she visited places she may well have ignored if not for the guide, I'd definitely purchase this style for guide for other trips abroad
Rating: - Very detailed, informative and extremely practical
I had already purchased the spiral guide to New York and found this really useful on my trip to the Big apple! So when I decided to take a trip to Paris I looked no where else but for this AA spiral guide of Paris. It is extremely practical with an excellent quirky magazine section on paris. A section for each area, what to see, pictures of the sights, ratings of each sight etc. A really useful section with recommended walks, so you do not miss the sights, with approximate walking times, places of interest and even cafes to have a break in. It also includes a city map and area map and a really useful facts section at the back of the book. Overall this is a colouful, informative, easy to read book with all the information you would need ... Read More:
