Reviews

[Patri Isoardi · Rating 4 out of 5]

Está muy bien. Cumple con las expectativas. Es un poco desordenado y marea bastante cómo va contando la historia de la ciudad. Hace un detalle muy exhaustivo de cada barrio y da tips muy buenos de cuando ver cada cosa. Tal vez lo más criticable son las imágenes que poco tienen que ver con lo que está narrando.

Suggested itineraries different stay durations would be helpful. Adequate detail for top spots but other spots are pretty much just listed. Less excursions suggestions and a little more detail would be helpful

[Christina · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a good basic travel guide for London. The sections on the museums and churches are excellent, with the types of pictures and maps National Geographic is known for.

Está bien como guía, pero muy anticuado. Supongo que es necesario ir comprándote la versión actualizada cada cierto tiempo para que se pueda usar como lo que es, una guía.
