The Reviews
Read what some buyers have already said about this guide:
“Indispensable, Interesting, And A Pleasant Read”
‘I find many travel guide books rather heavy going and somewhat dull in the way the information is presented. However, these authors managed to include heaps of information about not only Amsterdam, but also The Hague and Rotterdam, in an interesting, light, and easy-to-read fashion. I felt the relaxed and pleasant atmosphere of Amsterdam was reflected in the authors’ style, yet there was still more than sufficient useful information in the book to guide your round Amsterdam and its surrounds.’
“Great little book”
‘This book packs in everything you need to know for a few days in Amsterdam! Well worth the money and handy to have on my phone.’
“Wow packed with info”
‘This has been a great read and guide for getting to know Amsterdam. I have only read about half way through and thought I would leave a few words before I forget to give the author a thumbs up. It has plenty of information about where to visit, good hotels, transport (really helpful) and other info. This will be much better to take on a trip on a kindle to the Dam than taking a paperback guide. Thanks.’
