Highly recommend for a comprehensive overview of N.O. travel
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Before purchasing this I went to a local bookstore and looked through all the N.O. travel guides. This book outshone the others - it contains lots of great information on N.O. and its surrounding areas. There is a lot of detail and off-the-beaten-path highlights not found in other travel guides. I live on the Northshore of N.O. and through this guide, have discovered places I hadn't heard about before - and that are well worth visiting. Also important to note is that this travel guide seems to be up-to-date on places that are still closed post-Katrina.
Great Find!

I chose this New Orleans travel guide for two reasons: it covered Cajun country as well as New Orleans proper, and it had been updated with Post-Katrina information. However, after using it, I can say, it rates highly for many more reasons. The authors seemed to have very good first hand information about all the ins and outs of visiting the New Orleans area today. They never let me down, and their recommendations were right on target. Including the River Road plantations and the Cajun area around Lafayette was extremely helpful, because none of the other guides offered that additional information. Traveling west from New Orleans is great fun, and this guidebook again gave me the inside information I like to have. Both of my B & B hosts generally echoed what I learned from the Moon guidebook. I would definitely choose another guidebook from this publisher if I had the opportunity!
The Best Guide To New Orleans EVER!

If you are like me, wondering who designed that building, who invented that recipe, and why a street name is pronounced a certain way- this book is for you. You will find everything you need to plan an enjoyable vacation, but most of all you will find the history of the city and answers to all of the questions you will encounter. Never has there been a better guide to New Orleans!
