1. I used this guidebook while traveling through Germany during Winter of 98-99. Its listings of both Berlin and Munich were relatively good. One thing I did not like about this guide was they rated certain hostels or places with their "thumbs up" recommendations. Their recommendation for Berlin, was this shabby, independent hostel with no lockers and the book said nothing about their early check-in at 10PM. Luckily, they let me in at the last minute. The staff however was generally helpful and helped compensate for the amenities the rooms lacked. Their coverage of Munich was good but no mention about the Euraide office in the train station being closed during the Winter. They had poor descriptions of whether places were closed or not during the off-season. They also gave poor directions to places sometimes, which was quite annoying. Above all, Let's go does a generally good job with their individual country guides (France, Italy) but this one was not up to standards.



2. I am an American in my mid-20's living in Germany. I have found the Let's Go 1999 Germany guide to be an extremely useful tool in traveling and touring Germany. I have especially enjoyed their camping recommendations. I have utilized two of their camping site recommendations and have found both to be very nice sites. They were clean, with above average amenities (especially by American standards) and were easily accessible to local transportation.

   I have also enjoyed using this guide for its town information and recommendations. I find their descriptions to be not only informative, but interesting. I also appreciate the sense of humor they sometimes apply to their information. Other guides I have utilized (Fodor's comes to mind) have been dry and only list the typical tourist sites. Let's Go does a great job of finding some of the out of the ordinary spots to see. They also do a nice job of touching on the German culture.

   I discovered Let's Go through a friend's European guide. I liked it so well I bought my own Let's Go guide for Germany. It has been a very useful resource, and I am getting ready to purchase Let's Go guides for elsewhere in Europe. Happy Traveling!

1. I found this book most helpful if you are looking for cookery courses, shops and resources in the U.K. The section on other countries is worth a look, but not detailed enough and does not include many opportunities in other countries. I know of at least one school in Europe that was not listed. The book's smaller pocket size is handy, but does not make for scads of info. Make sure it is what you need!
