 A comprehensive travel companion September 27, 2000
Gunter Schwerdtel (Prevessin, Ain France)
9 out of 10 found this review helpful
Michelin's "Netherlands" guide is a compact and comprehensive companion when travelling in the Low Countries. It is pleasant to read and gives you the necessary historical, geographical and cultural background of the country as well as on its provinces and towns. It basically gives you the information, proposition for itineries etc. which you need and expect, without being too lengthy. Complemented with Michelin's 1:400.000 map, it is an excellent basis to plan a trip and then follow it through. The only point, which could be improved is the index, which does not reference all the sites marked as worth visiting on the overview maps on the first pages of the guide. Some sites (example Muiden castle) are not referenced in themselves but as excursions, which can be done in the environs of a town (such as Amsterdam).
 A Helpful Guide to the Netherlands August 11, 2000

I like the rating system used by the authors to evaluate theinterest of a prospective tourist site. It's helpful in trip planning. On the other hand, the detail given in describing individual cities or sites should be sufficient for the casual tourist. The book includes brief history lessons that increased my interest in the historical sites described. It's worth [the price].

I've used a fair number of travel guides, and this one is destined for the trash long before I take my trip. I find it extremely user UNfriendly, and short on lots of vital information. While there are some nice maps and some pieces of good data, the organization is appalling. Instead of a division by regions, it is in encyclopedia fashion -- alphabetical place names. Places that get 3 stars (their top rating -- must see) on some of the maps don't show up in the index or as a place heading. When you find something interesting in the text, you have to wonder, where is it in the country? Good luck finding further data. Prices and estimated costs? Forget it -- there are none. I suppose that reduces their costs of updating versions. Data on hotels and restaurants? No -- you have to buy Michelin's separate book, their "red guide." Meaningful information on any form of travel other than by car? Not here. Trying to plan a trip with this guide? Lots of luck.

I put this in my cart on April 5th at $13. When I went to check out on April 8th, the price had been raised to the list price of $20.
Michelin Guide for the Netherlands July 18, 2008

As always, this Michelin Green Guide is an excellent first book for any tourist. Great city maps, lots of details on the history, culture, architecture, etc. of the country. No info on hotels or restaurants; that's the job of other guides. But for city/town info, there is no better guide!
