Customer Reviews

Not very useful
I was travelling to Sitges with my four year old daughter. The entry for Sitges is a couple of paragraphs and mentions a couple of museums but little else. I would have liked to have had info on how to get there from Barcelona and also recommendations for hotels and restaurants but there was none. In the event, I took a taxi from Barcelona airport (only about 25 minutes away) for which I was charged the usurious rate of 70 euros. I discovered at the hotel that there is a very comfortable, air-conditioned, half-hourly bus that I could have taken for less than 3 euros per person. Verdict: not up to the task.

Good but no cigar
The descriptions of various places were good, but there were not enough detailed maps for someone who doesn't know the area themselves. Since we were cheeky enough to think that French and English would be sufficient, we needed all the help we could get.
