A must for any visit
This is an excellent guidebook to New Orleans, with really useful information, and hints and tips on what to do. As a lone traveller to New Orleans, I was very keen to find out as much as possible about what to do and where to before I went, as well as important practical tips in terms of safety and Mardis Gras. On all counts, this book is ideal. It mixes information about New Orleans' history and culture with sightseeing ideas and must-sees. In addition, there is a lot of information on what to do during Mardis Gras, as well as other practical information about getting around and staying safe. The eating and drinking recommendations are fantastic - this book is so comprehensive I felt like I already knew my way around NO before I went.
