We found this book invaluable during our time in London. We especially found the tear out map to be very helpful. It's a good travel book but much like the Fodor's don't expect to find much in the way of bargain dining listed.

Also an excellent reference. Which is better is definitely a matter of personal preference. It's a good travel book but much like the Frommer's don't expect to find much in the way of bargain dining listed.

Talk about a very specific travel book. When I saw it on the shelf I had to get it and I'm glad I did. It covers in detail all the cruise lines that do cruises in Europe as well as all the popular ports of call. Almost all of the ports of call we visited were included but because there are so many listed the descriptions were brief.

Although we didn't spend much time in the Scandinavian countries I wanted to know as much about them as possible and this seems to be the only decent travel book to cover all the countries.

Since the highlight of the cruise WAS St. Petersburg we needed a book that covered it adequately. This was definitely one of the good books about the city. Plenty of history and stuff. We obviously didn't use any of the info on hotels and restaurants so I can't comment on that.

Great book that covers the city in exquisite detail. Every site we visited we always referred to this book first. The information about the background of the sites was VERY helpful.
