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 Moon guides are perfect for the relaxed road tripper or outdoor explorer. --No Small Plan Moon handbooks are always a pleasure to read. The writing is crisp, the research impressive, and the recommendations practical and down to earth. --Chicago Tribune Moon handbooks are known for cannily combining logistical 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 The books are more easily readable than other guides.
