TripBuilder: Amsterdam

Summary: Pocket Guide surpasses expectations
Review: Like all the other Tripbuilder city guides, this book surpasses expectation.

Compact enough to put in a jacket or a purse, this quick-reference guide provides a thorough description of the city and what it offers. It is especially helpful to have the background on the points of interest, and what their significance is in terms of history, culture, etc. Having the book provide information on what would appeal to historical and art buffs, to children, etc. gives the visitor quite a selection to choose from.

We especially liked the colorful map that has everything color-coded and numbered, including the public transportation system. This is helpful for those who want to experience the local color by getting around on foot, or on wheels other than expensive taxis.

The great tips on what to do to make the visit to Amsterdam even more meaningful are right on the money.

Amsterdam is such a charming, delightful city; and this book contributed tremendously to giving us a greater appreciation for it.

Bravo!
