Reviews by readers

Has some good points - but . . .

A nice combination of cities that are commonly the two major destinations in a combined holiday vacation to the area.

On the plus side, the book does a relatively good job of organizing and useful information for the traveler. While not as complete as a single destination guide (and there was no expectation that it would be), it generally does offer valuable information and good commentary.

Perhaps it was just my imagination, but I gleaned what seemed to be a bit of a need by the authors to compare the two cities - with what was perceived by this reader to be a bias towards things Parisian.

While I have visited both cities only about five or six times and am by no means an expert about either city, I did find this material about "getting around Paris" a bit off the mark: "The Metro [Paris] is a godsend to disorientated visitors; not only is it quick and convenient for travelling, but its stations serve as easy reference points for finding addresses. Contrasts with the London Underground are unavoidable. A ride in Paris consts less than half as much, and for that you get cleaner stations and faster service."

Despite my lukewarm rating, I am still glad that I purchased the book.
