Very helpful to a couple not familiar with New England.

My wife and I travelled to New England this summer and this book was very helpful. We had planned on taking day trips to various areas and we found ourselves referring to the book quite often at the beginning of the day for things to do and see that might not be typical tourist locations. A couple of the restaurant selections were not very good and the maps of downtown Boston could be a little more detailed, but overall the book was an excellent guide.
The greatest guide book thats on the market.

This book is trully an angel in disguise. We visited some family in New England this spring, and we were a little unsure of the activities in New England. This little book showed us the in and outs, gave great places to stay, food choices, and the "must sees" of New England. We bought a couple other guide books, to be safe. We found this one dog-eared and very used by the end of our trip. I give this book 5 stars for sure.
