Dordogne and the Lot (Cadogan Guide Dordogne, the Lot & Bordeaux)

by: Dana Facaros, Michael Pauls

I have to disagree with the previous reviewer. I've always found the Cadogan guides written by Facaros and Pauls brilliant. Yes, they lack the pictures that you get in an Eyewitness guide, for example, but they more than make up for that in the quality of the text: it is detailed without being heavy, and fun without being stupid. To me, they strike the right balance between historical and architectural information and foodie indulgence. I bought this to replace my copy of the third edition which has now fallen apart through over use. I rate their stuff so highly that I now look to see if they have written a guide to a place I intend to visit. In a perfect world I'd have one of these and a corresponding Eyewitness guide - but if I only had room ... Read More:

Tuscany Umbria and the Marches (Cadogan Guide Tuscany, Umbria & the Marches)

by: Dana Facaros, Michael Pauls

September 25, 2007
I was originally going to purchase one of the better known (to me) tour guides but found that they contained little on where we are staying - Cortona, this guide is great and the script is large enough to make reading it a pleasure rather than a test! I can't comment on the restaurants or hotels as I don't really read those sections and I haven't actually been on my trip yet but for readability and detail I think this book is great.
