Excellent Read September 16, 2007
Cool Person (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania United States of America)
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I have read so many guidebooks to Washington, DC and this is simply the best. It is excellent. The descriptions are very thorough. He explains everything in detail including which airport to land at, which restaurants to see White House Staff at, what exhibits not to miss in museums, and how to get tickets to monuments.
The book is laid out in parts with chapters inside the parts. Parts include Planning, Settling into DC(hotels, transportation, dining, and airports) Exploring (attractions, monuments, memorials, museums, shopping, day trips) and Top Ten (top ten views, top ten roadside attractions, etc).
The book will teach you everything you need to know about DC, Tom Price is a long time DC resident. He'll also tell you the best time to go since DC doesn't have an off-season( yes even in January tourists crowd the mall with their winter coats). I have visited DC for a long time and this is the only gidebook you will ever need.
