poor value and misdescribedDecember 20, 2008 I am a regular visitor to Nice, and my trusted Rough Guide is rather out of date, so I bought this 2008 publication to supplement it. It is poorly written, and is apparently just a series of articles about food and restaurants - it is certainly not a guidebook. The description on Amazon is misleading (the first time I have found this - Amazon descriptions can usually be trusted). The book is of absolutely no value at all to visitors on short breaks - better by far is the Time Out guide. A more detailed guide (e.g. Rough Guide) is better for stays of a week or more. Another major ommission in this book (supposedly revised in 2008) is the absence of information on the excellent Nice Tramway system that was completed early in 2007. The tramway has made travel around Nice much easier and incredibly good value - any book purporting to be a guide book would include full details.
A concise well informed guideAugust 1, 2006 12 out of 12 found this review helpful
This book is really good for those who wish to explore and look beyond Nice itself. I have purchased a number of books on the City and the surrounds because we visit Nice on a regular basis and this is an excellent addition to those more standard guide books.
