"Far from narrow minded, each Moon travel guide gives itinerary
options for a variety of travelers' budgets--from frugal to lavish.
They make books catering to those who love the outdoors, those who
have limited time, those staying exclusively in cities and those
who've fully committed to living abroad. In all, they have hundreds
of titles, ranging Bermuda to Budapest, that'll teach you to
embrace a new culture."--Gear Patrol, "The Best Travel Guidebooks
for Every Journey"

explorer." --No Small Plan

crisp, the research impressive, and the recommendations practical
and down to earth."--Chicago Tribune

information with cultural background of a country or state."--Los
Angeles Times
"Moon handbooks have become known as well-written and exceptionally
informative guides."--The New York Times

of the most user-friendly guides in terms of visual appeal and
organization...the quality is uniformly excellent."--Transitions
