Decent book, but is outdated.:
We bought this book to help plan our trip to DC and it was helpful with providing things to do and helps rate things that different age groups would like/not like to do. The book is somewhat outdated/not complete though. Some information was incorrect or maybe geared more towards peak travel periods as we went after labor day and a lot of the opening/closing times of buildings were incorrect. One exampe, the book suggests getting up very early to reserve tickets for the Jefferson Monument, we decided... more info
Great guide but lack of pictures:
The only complaint i have is this book does not have any picture. A picture is better than a thousand words. Adding some pictures would make it much more attractive. I did not start reading it until i was in DC. Felt bad about it because this book did provide a lot of good insides. Things like "do not drive in DC." Great idea. Should have also said "the road is totally confusing" in addition to traffic warning.
Don't leave home without it!:
Great suggestions for how to see the city...not just what to see. Helps you plan your itinerary to get the most out of your trip. Lists sights several different ways, by interests, location or ratings. Love this book!
There are better travel books:
I bought this book and the 2008 Fodor's Guide. The Fodor's was my preferred book while in DC. I found the informaiton in this book difficult to access. I had been to DC before, so the information in this book was proably more helpful for the first time visitor. I left the book in DC at the bed and breakfast where we stayed because I knew I wouldn't be using it again. I kept the Fodor's Guide for my next trip.
