Summary: "GREAT BOOK"
This is a great book. I carried it with me everyday while in DC in June. Of couse we had 90 plus weather and on Saturday it hit 102. Not the books fault. The subway system map is very helpful. It also covered all the places we wanted to see. I carred this book in a Eagle Creek bag.Eagle Creek Travel Gear Compass Bag It fit perfectly in the large Front zipperred pockect. I also bought the larger Eyewitness DC Travel book but referred more to this small one. The larger one stayed back in the hotel room. Of the two, I would buy this smaller book. I also think the maps are better in this smaller book.

Summary: "Best Travel Guide For Washington D.C."
I ordered several guides for washington d.c. this guide was by far the lightest one with excellent pictures and really easy to read maps. Maps you can even take out!! This is the only guide you should need! I order guides all the time for all the traveling we do and this one is by far one of the simplest and consise i have ever seen. It's really good.

Summary: "REALLY GREAT!"
This is is even more awesome than I thought it was going to be! It's a compact size and it has so much information and a lot of pictures which are really nice. It tells prices of activities and restaurants in the city, show you where the places are on a map. It has page full of things to do with the kids and things to do with nightlife. Everything you'd ever want about Memorials and it has maps of Smithsonian Museums, so you choose what you want to see then follow the map and go there! It has a portable map to. Also tells you the best shops and other sites just outside the city. It has Hotel choses at the very back of the book if your looking for one but It's only 2 pages so there is still a lot to see in this book. I totally recommend buying it!!!

Summary: "TONS of info packed into this tiny book..."
Like another reviewer noted, the amount of info packed into this tiny, convenient-to-carry-around book is amazing (and amazingly well-organized). I'm fairly new to the area, and when my parents came to visit, they said this book was like their life jacket when they explored while I was at work. The maps, too, are super handy: you don't have to worry about juggling fifty different items while on the DC Metro, etc., since everything you need is right here. Indispensible for any trip to DC where you'll be doing any sight-seeing - even a short one.

Summary: "Best DC guidebook"
The Top Ten guidebook is the one and only book I recommend to those visiting DC. We live in the area and still use this guidebook to discover or rediscover the tourist spots in DC. The main advantage this book is the prioritization of sites and restaurants and as mentioned above its physical size. We have many of the other guidebooks to DC, but this is the only one that we actually use. If you plan on visiting this guidebook is a must have.
