β¦ Synopsis
I would have given it 3.5 stars, but couldn't so I will round down. I used this book for a trip I had earlier this year. It covered every city that we were interested in going, and since that was the case, it lacked detail on some the off the beaten path cities. Overall, I found it to be pretty useful and we were able to fill in some of the gaps with tripadvisor and some other sites. There was a lot more detail in the more popular cities, which makes a lot of sense since those are much more well travelled. The hotel and restaurant picks were all pretty good. We didn't visit the more popular cities this time around, but the book would have been useful to have on previous trips.
