Reviews by readers

Just got back had to write a review

My wife and I are 26 and 25 and neither of us had been to France before. We went with a very tight budget about $1,000 for two weeks. Let's Go was awesome, we followed their advice to bike ride out of Dijon, it was incredible! We got to do a wine tasting at a former castle and the vineyards were picturesque.

Then we went to Grenoble, the music on the solstice was wild. Seems like everyone in that town has a band and they were all playing until about 3 AM. We then followed their trial up one of the alps above the city. We brought a picnic purchased in the market that morning and that was very satisfying.

From Grenoble we went to Avingon, the hotel they recommended was cool and so was the Pope's palace but we found the city heavily touristed and that was sort of jarring. We went to the Fountain de Vecluce and did end up having a great time (we took the books advice and rented a kayak to travel down the river to Isle de la sugur -spelled wrong-) that was a lot of fun. But the Fountain itself was very disappointing the book did not make clear that it dies down and escapes through cracks below the pool and does not overflow except in the spring. That was also very heavily touristed.

Paris, well Paris was awesome. We had both the let's go guide and the book "Paris on $90 dollars a day". Both were great but the Paris specific guide was obviously rather more detailed. It was also neat because it suggested itineraries based on how many days you had in the city (we had 4).

To sum up. The trip would not have been nearly so good if we hadn't had Let's Go or had instead say, Lonely Planet. Thanks for all your help Let's Go and keep up the good work!
