Customer Reviews

Dreadful
The content is sparse, the maps are ludicrously simple and, overall, this book is bad value for money - don't make the same mistake as me - don't buy it!

Cape town guide- good value for money with excellent maps
Highlight of the book was the detailed streetlevel map of Cape Town, and road map of Cape Peninsula. This was probably the most helpful feature in the book. There were also good commentaries on the history behind the town, and descriptions of the places that most tourists like to see.
