Customer Reviews

Does what it says....
This colourful and informative guide maintains the very high standard of the 'Eyewitness' series of guide books - I now have 14 of them. The 'birds eye' type street by street guides are particularly good and allow you to identify exactly where you are and ensure that you do not miss any of the area's sights. The 'Survival' section at the back of the books gives very good advice regarding health, security, transport and monetary issues - just what the traveller needs. Practicalities aside however, it is a very colourful and interesting book and makes a great read before, during and after the holiday.

a well-received gift
I bought this book as part of my sisters birthday present as she is planning a trip to Australia next year. We were both very pleased with the book.
