Fodor's Boston (Full-color Travel Guide) Paperback – Folded Map, May 27, 2014

Fodor's guides are very good. I downloaded this one to my smartphone for ease of use. It proved quite handy navigating around Boston, without the weight of carrying a book around. I'd recommend it as a download.

Really helped us plan our visit. Can't wait to go back and see some of the other things mentioned in this book.

We just came back from Boston and had a great time. Fodor's Boston was full of interesting information. We tried to visit most of the significant sights in Boston and were able to see most of it in a 4 days. The map in the back on especially helpful. I tore it out, stuck it in my purse and used it the whole time during our trip. It was perfect!

This is a great book as I prepare for my first trip to Boston in a few weeks.

This updated guide was very helpful. In my hand most of the time during the four days we walked and explored Boston.

Honestly, I may be in the minority here when I say that I prefer the Rick Steves series of guides to Fodor's. I should note that this is based on a single experience with each — Rick Steves' guide for Italy vs. Fodor's for Boston. The Fodor's guide seemed less user friendly, was fraught with out-of-date hours of operation and incorrect prices, and felt way, way, way too focused on where to eat vs. everything else in the book. That said, it did the job I needed it to, and helped me see as much of Boston as I could during the week I was there. One last note regarding food: Fodor's recommendations for Ward 8 and Parish Cafe II were spot on — I highly recommend both.

Just returned from the Boston area.... book was extremely helpful!

Easy to use, thorough, good maps, well organized
