Has pictures, but no real information...September 25, 2008 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
Having recently traveled around North India, taking both this guide book and also the Rough guide to India, I found the rough guide far more useful. Whilst the DK guide has glossy pages and lots of colour pictures of the attractions, it is severely lacking in any real details. For example, if you are looking for information of things like buses or trains to travel round, where is good to eat, or with whom would be good to book up an activity and how much it should cost then this book is almost entirely useless. The only reason I would recommend this book to someone is if they were on a package tour, and were not responsible for paying for or arranging anything themselves. Stick to the less colourful rough guide or lonely planet books, which provide far more information.
does exactly what it says on the coverJuly 31, 2004 12 out of 18 found this review helpful
The usual faultless pix and text and information that DK is well-known for. If you have any EyeWitness Guide, you'll know what to expect. I buy these becasue I want to find out about and 'see' countries that I can't afford to go to. Which is why I have about 20 guides. They are cheaper than a couple of rolls of film and developing costs, and the pictures will prob be better! Although they won't have your wife standing in front of all of the sights. Which is a double-edged sword.
