The writing is superb... each (Nelles) guide is delightfully comprehensive, a solid source of reliable information for the traveller... All travel guides claim to be comprehensive, but we found Nelles Guides superior". -- Arizona Senior World "(The Nelles Guides are) . . . beautifully photographed . . . the maps are better than Insight's, and practical information is integrated with the text, not relegated to the end". -- National Geographic Traveller -- Quality writing, often by native writers -- Detailed sections on the history, culture, special features and festivals -- Accommodations, restaurant guides, sights to see, places to shop, how to get around
