"The writing is superb... each (Nelles) guide is delightfully comprehensive, a solid source of reliable information for the traveller... All travel guides claim to be comprehensive, but we found Nelles Guides superior". — Arizona Senior World

"(The Nelles Guides are) . . . beautifully photographed . . . the maps are better than Insight's, and practical information is integrated with the text, not relegated to the end". — National Geographic Traveller
-- Quality writing, often by native writers
-- Detailed sections on the history, culture, special features and festivals
-- Accommodations, restaurant guides, sights to see, places to shop, how to get around
