His authoritative, candid reviews will help you make choices that suit your tastes and budget. > Exact prices, so there's never any guessing. > Up-to-the-minute coverage of shopping and nightlife in cities and towns; detailed walking tours; lively coverage of history and culture; accurate neighborhood maps; and advice on planning a successful family vacation.
