Reviews

[Leila Mota · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love guides. It's a quick way of learning the main facts about a place we visited or we're visiting. It also usually includes pictures that the amateur photographer isn't able to take. Sometimes it's more than a record of what was seen, but also of what wasn't seen. It can be very frustrating, when we're almost certain that we won't be able to go back, but anyway it's necessary.

Visited Chartres, France this past summer and found this short guide book to be extremely useful.
