Top 10 Azores (Pocket Travel Guide) Paperback – June 20, 2017

This is the only guide I took to the Azores (because there are not many to choose from). My biggest issue is that it is not well organized. You have to jump from category to category to find information on the specific island you are staying on. This means dog earring the pages in order to be useful. I was forever thumbing through information about islands I had no chance of visiting in order to find information about the island I was on. Which made this guide frustrating to use. Since island hopping is NOT easy, I think all the information about each island should be on the same place. Complaints about the organization of this guide aside, I was on Sao Miguel from May 25, 2018 - June 3, 2018 and the guide was completely accurate. However, I found that getting tips from the hotel staff made for better restaurant and excursion choices than going by the guide's suggestions.

This may be the worst guide book I've ever bought. Sure it has pretty pictures, and it does have information about all the top sites on the islands, but who can find that information?! The organization is terrible. My husband and I were flipping back and forth between different sections constantly. The maps aren't very good. Maybe it's useful while planning your trip (though we didn't think so), but it's definitely not an easy resource when driving around a foreign country and needing a quick reference.

I waited for this to come out (late June of 2017) and bought this days before my trip to The Azores. This is my second Eyewitness Top 10 book with the first one providing to be very indispensable during my trip to Iceland last year. What can I say, it proved useful once again. It has a breakdown of the most popular attractions per island, per attraction, per area, and even where the best places to eat and where to find the best views!

As some reviewers have noted, this book could be organized a lot better. I normally purchase the DK travel guides because they have great photos and give concise information. This one is similar to the other travel guides I've bought BUT I just wish it would break down the info by island. Some of the list of things to do did not clarify which island it is on.

This is one of the best travel books that I have ever read. I am planning a trip to the Azores and have been searching for quite a while for information relating to the sights there. This book filled the bill better than I could have ever expected. I intend to use this series anytime I am going to travel in the future.

It is hard to find a book that covers just the Azores. Generally I like the DK books but this didn’t help me decide which islands to visit and how much time I should a lot to each. Haven’t made the trip yet so I don’t know if it is accurate.

Very Good Guide

Liked the maps and the different sections. Some flipping back and forth. Went to Sao Miguel but intend to go back again to different islands.

Perfect

Disappointingly not comprehensive and contains relatively little information.

Thin book of highlights of the islands with lots of photos, very useful, although I don't like the way it is organised. Better to research online as well, but the maps will be useful.

Has all the info you need for an island hopping visit to the Azores! Eyewitness travel guides are my favourite when travelling.
