DK Eyewitness Travel Guide: Tunisia

I love DK Eyewitness travel books - the book was totally as advertised

Just arrived in Tunis hoping that this book would get me through my week in Tunisia. For the past 48 hours, it has proven incredibly unhelpful and I just ordered the Lonely Planet guide via download PDF instead because I am desperate. This entire book does not even have a decent map of Tunis, leaving it completely up to me to figure out how to get from place to place. And, yet, it recommends that we walk to sites rather than taking a taxi. Additionally, the book does not make it clear what is the most interesting sites and the moderately interesting sites. After reading the book in an hour, I was not able to decipher which were the 2-3 must see sites. Although the book has pictures and a decent amount of background information, it is not a practical guide and certainly cannot be your only guide in the country. Buy this book if you never plan to travel to Tunisia and, instead, just want to learn about the country. Buy the Lonely Planet guide (or the Tunisia chapter of the Africa book) if you want practical information.

Beautifully made!

The DK Eyewitness Guide served as a wonderful resource during my recent trip to Tunisia. The photography was beautiful, The historical and cultural explanations were often more complete than that offered by my paid guide. It is easy to use and invaluable to anyone visiting. I'd highly recommend it.

As it is the case with all DK travel guides, this is a very hands on guide, with sightseeing routes to be followed and pics to give the reader an idea of what to see...

Great intro to the culture of Tunisia and starting point for further research.

Very good guide with nice photos. Unfortunately out of date at 2005.

Any travel book published by DK is well worth the investment. Traveled to Tunisia and needed more in depth descriptions of places visited.

As described

Prompt delivery and very informative guide without going too deep to enjoy a holiday. A bit expensive but a quality product

Goes with a collection i have and i find them very informative and easy to carry when you are abroad
