Customer Reviews

Guide to Charleston
I used one of Frommer's guides to Savannah and had a fabulous trip there. The same maps and reviews of hotels, restaurants, and sights to see are included in this guide. It also includes a bit of history and some travel tips. Great guides to make first time visits fun. I may buy one of local cities to see what might be interesting to see. Highly advised.

Good to carry around with you
This small book fits easily into your purse so you can carry it around with you. Better information can be obtained for free from SC tourism web sites.

Frommer's Portable Charleston (Frommer's Portable)
Very good. Down to 4 stars because the info becomes dated very quickly. Look for newest edition.
