Customer Reviews

Great guide with lots of details
I planned to go to NC, SC and bought this guide. You will get an add. map and find a structured book, with lots of details and useful recommendations.

a perfect book to travel
I'm used to travel books with a lot of pictures, but the more I travel the more I see how the pictures from the books are not the same in reality. This book is a good example how only two cover pictures and well written text can manage you to want going to this far away place.

Good....not great.
If you need lodging and restaurant information in the most of the cities in the coverage area, this is a good guide. It has details on price, location, menu's and more but lacks the originality to take you to the little known local joints that have the best pancakes or killer catfish. Very good for the business traveler and the vacationer that is not interested in straying too far from the obvious choices or experiencing the local culture. If you want to get away from it all.....keep looking
