Verrrry useful - loved it!,
By Kielle Mélan - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Eyewitness Travel Guides Vietnam And Angkor Wat (Paperback)
I used this guidebook when I went to Vietnam this May. Absolutely loved it! Inside were nice pictures of the attractions and sights, and also comprehensive maps to major locations. I practically used the map inside this book while navigating through Ho Chi Minh City! Also has a nice map of the entire country where you can locate where the different provinces are.I highly recommend this guidebook! Makes navigating so easy! Oh, and for the record? Everyone who's ever been to Vietnam knows that Angkor Wat is a popular sidetrip. WHICH IS WHY IT IS INCLUDED IN THE TITLE. For those idiots who are raising bloody hell about how misleading the design of the title is, well, DUH it's COMMON SENSE! If you've been mislead to think Angkor Wat belongs to Vietnam, then you need to read more, my dears! 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful

Helpful for our side trip to Angkor Wat,

This review is from: Eyewitness Travel Guides Vietnam And Angkor Wat (Paperback)
This guide book was helpful during our side trip to Angkor Wat. I used it before the trip to decide which attractions was worth visiting. The major attractions have color sketches showing the layout and color images with a description. The smaller attractions had a color image with a description or just a description. I found the images and star features helpful to determine if an attraction was worth seeing.When I got to Angkor Wat, I read about each sights beforehand and used it during our private tour to follow along. Even though I had an English speaking guide, I sometimes found it easier to read our guide book for more information when I didn't understand him. I recommend it for people who plan to visit Vietnam and Angkor Wat as a side trip but don't want to purchase another guidebook for Cambodia. It helps to keep the weight of your luggage down as guidebooks can be heavy. I would suggest supplementing it with Lonely Planet Vietnam for logistics. I own many DK and Lonely Planet guide books and I always find it helpful to have both with me. DK for pictures and sight layouts and Lonely Planet for logistics and restaurants. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful

Perfect for use on tour,
By ededwards - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Eyewitness Travel Guides Vietnam And Angkor Wat (Paperback)
We just used this book on a very thorough package tour of Vietnam. It provided just the right amount of information we needed as background for the sites to which our tour guides took us, with great pictures that will help us remember what we saw, and also helped us when we were had time to explore independently. Particularly good in this book series are the combination diagram/picture/explanation guides to important sites. Unlike other tour books that overwhelm with sometimes irrelevant details, there is just enough information presented for 30-60 minute visits, and the photos help to immediately identify the features. Additionally, the well illustrated history and cultural sections were far superior to the alternative guide books.On the other hand, this book is not great for restaurant and hotel information, where other books give needed detail. Were we to travel to VN on our own, we would definitely bring the same book, but we would also bring a recent Frommer's. |
