Very helpful, especially with the maps and the tips on times of day to travel to each location. Also, the honest review of what to see and what to skip.

I could have done without some of the snark, and I found some of the summaries/overviews to be a little elitist. It's a slim book, and quite thorough, but there's not much here you can't get online--there's not much that's fresh or off-the-beaten-path.

I like the Frommer's Guides and I'm finding this "EasyGuide" to be of great help in my planning. I haven't used these before, but the information seems good.
