Customer Reviews

Great book, lots of information

The book was full of helpful information, maps, phone numbers, and directions. The only complaint I have, which is partially my fault for not reading some of the book information correctly before I purchased, was that the map that was included was of London, and I didn't need another London map, and thought it was a detailed England map.

What Would I Do Without It?

This book was essential for my trip around England. It had up-to-date information, admission prices, opening times, and days that certain attractions were open. Without this book I would not have known half of the places I went to before traveling to London. The summaries of the places are accurate and all the accomidation suggestions I took were just as the book had said. The best part are the maps of the small places like cities and towns so that once you get somewhere you know where everything is. The transportation sections were also extremely helpful because sometimes it is VERY hard to get around in England without your own car. I would recommend this book to anyone who is planning their first or even a return trip to England. Even though it is a bit heavy to carry around, the extra effort is completely worth it!!!

Fodors always reliable

Over the years I have come to prefer Fodor's guides since they appeal to the middle-aged traveler (like me). My days of backpacking and hostels are gone, preferring nicer accommodations and meals yet still appreciating a bargain. Fodor's guides I have found to be the best reference for this market segment. They are always accurate and well-written.
