This travel book surpasses other guides in that it incorporates essential information in an easy-to-carry and easy-to-read format that is attractive and useful at the same time. It provides a visitor with an invaluable introduction to the Philippines by concisely highlighting the country’s ‘must see’ areas in a practical and user-friendly format, thus encouraging the tourist to make the most of his/her available time. All the essential information you need to get around an unfamiliar country is compacted into useful and practical ‘At-a-Glance’ sections at the end of each chapter. The fold-out map of the Philippines is ideal for tourists and visitors. In addition to the main map of the Philippines, it features 7 detailed area maps and 6 town plans. Average Rating:

I have gotten other travel books before, and none had half the detail this one has in it. over all great book. Rating: - Philippines Travel PackOverall the book lacks depth and historical perspective, particularly in the areas off the beaten path such as Mindanao and the Sulu chain. Rating: - Awesome map-informationGreat book, several key places missing but information very useful. Spent 2 weeks in Philippines and referenced it often. The map was great. |
