NEW YORK AAA Tour Book 2017

We visited NYC for the first time in April 2007. Bought the book before we left and read through it. I was still a little wary of what the city would be like but once we got there, I found out the book was even more valuable that I originally thought. The maps are excellent and right on. Subway maps are easy to read. I actually tabbed the book with different things I wanted to see each day we were there. Very helpful. I would have been going around in circles without this guide. Don't visit NYC without this book!

As noted in another review, this is not the most comprehensive of guidebooks, but that can be an advantage when carrying it in your backpack while touring the city! It has very good maps of Manhattan and pretty much just covers what most tourists will want to see. I found it to be very useful.

As a first time visitor, i think this book provides me sufficient infomation about the public transportation system. One very good thing is that the book divides the city into four sections. Then it suggests one day itenary for each section so you can finish visiting each section in one day. It also suggests some walking tour if visitors have more time to spend in the city.The only thing i don't like is that it doesn't list enough hotel for visitors to chose from. It would be nicer if it has a more extensive index for hotels and restaurants.
