The handy pocket-size guide is packed with useful information, tips and recommendations, accompanied by colour photographs, charts and maps for the first-time traveller who wants to experience the major highlights that the Philippines has to offer. This travel book surpasses other guides in that it incorporates essential information in an easy-to-carry and easy-to-read format that is attractive and useful at the same time. It provides a visitor with an invaluable introduction to the Philippines by concisely highlighting the country’s ‘must see’ areas in a practical and user-friendly format, thus encouraging the tourist to make the most of his/her available time. All the essential information you need to get around an unfamiliar country is compacted into useful and practical ‘At-a-Glance’ sections at the end of each chapter. The fold-out map of the Philippines is ideal for tourists and visitors. In addition to the main map of the Philippines, it features 7 detailed area maps and 6 town plans.

Customer Rating:      Summary: a bit disappointing Comment: I am an experienced SE Asia traveler and took a chance on this to find its 100 some odd pages to be nothing more than a picturesque but thin overview with minimal information on lodgings or transportation choices. Maps are the strong point for this package, but for serious info. on travel logistics stick with the updated Lonely Planet (still inadequate) or the hefty tome by Jens Peters. And always be prepared for price fluctuations above or beyond what is quoted in any book. Unfortunately, the Philippines is one place that has no one single comprehensive and utterly reliable travel guide.
I gave this an extra star just for being succinct which can sometimes be helpful when choices are overwhelming. Happy travels.
Customer Rating:      Summary: More Like these Comment: There needs to be more books like these out there. I have gotten other travel books before, and none had half the detail this one has in it. over all great book.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Philippines Travel Pack Comment: Overall the book lacks depth and historical perspective, particularly in the areas off the beaten path such as Mindanao and the Sulu chain.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Awesome map-information Comment: Great book, several key places missing but information very useful. Spent 2 weeks in Philippines and referenced it often. The map was great.
