Add this to your "Gotta have" travel guides.
I have given many reasons why these are excellent guides ;and after looking through the miriad of guides on the bookshelves,you won't be sorry if you choose National Geographic.
I have already written reviews on other National Geographic Traveler Guides on Ireland ( Dec 4,05 ), San Francisco ( Jan 3,06), Interstates Crossing America (Feb 5,06 ),and California (Aug 23,06 ). They are of the highest quality and construction and make a great memory of your visits and on top of that the design and format is consistant. What you have to realize is that they are excellent as a guide to the history and places to visit. This is where Nat Geo shines over the others. This guide would also be a teriffic value to those who live locally or even as a reference of the areas and places for whatever reasons. In reading or following news ,it will be turning to them often. With other travel guides,one often discard after the trip , as they are generally mainly heavy on
Accomodation,Restauraunt and other information that quickly becomes outdated,printed on cheap paper and with minimal information and pictures,maps,drawings and information.
National Geographic are hard to beat in what they do. They are showing it again in Travel Guides.

Very impressed with the look and information...
I will update this review when we take the trip. This book has the National Geographic glossy quality and lot of great information! We picked this up for our planned trip to DC. Well, we did the trip and we liked the pictures and information but I found the DK book better for current information and had additional information that this book did not have . . . . but it was still a good book to get a preview with. .

Great Guide for Touring the Sights
The maps and descriptions of the sights and museums are excellent. This is a great guide to the sights and museums of Washington DC. The metro map on the back cover is very handy, and the detailed maps of the sections of the city are useful and easy to read. This is not a guide for hotels and dining, although some coverage is given.
