Review of Time Out 1000 Things to Do in London (Time Out Guides) (Paperback)

We found this book very helpful for our first trip to London.We visited many of the sites mentioned and I like the fact that it doesn't focus on the typical "tourist" destinations.However, it does seem to stretch it a little bit to come up with 1000 interesting things!Fast delivery from Amazon.

Review of Time Out Sydney (Time Out Guides) (Paperback)

Plenty of information on restaurants (especially pricey ones), cafes, clubs, etc... but less focus on touristic places and hotels. Average on general info (how to get in and out of airport, tips, currency, etc) and history. Not so much on excursion outside the town. I guess this is exactly what we should expect from Time-Out, which is mainly for entertainment of the locals.

If you visit the city to "enjoy the city" rather than enjoy tourism, this is probably the book for you.

Product Description
