Samantha Priestley - Böcker

Frommer’s books aren’t written by committee, by A.I., or by travel writers who simply pop in briefly to a destination and then consider the job done. We use seasoned, locally-based journalists like Deborah Collcutt, Katie Featherstone, Samantha Priestley, Simon Willmore, and Donald Strachan, plus part-time residents like Jason Cochran and Stephen Brewer because they are all real experts.  The seven of them spent months checking out all of England’s and Scotland’s best hotels, attractions, shops, wineries, and restaurants in person, so they could offer authoritative, candid reviews that will help you find the venues that suit your tastes and budget. In short, use this book and you’ll be eating in the places most tourists don’t know about, visiting top attractions at times when the crowds are at their thinnest, and patronizing the bars and clubs Brits and Scots hold dear. Inside the guide:Full-color photos and helpful maps, including a detachable foldout mapDetailed itineraries for planning your trip to suit your schedule and interests (and help you avoid lines and crowds)Candid reviews of the best restaurants, historic sights, museums, tours, shops, and experiences―and no-punches-pulled info on the ones not worth your time and moneyAccurate, up-to-date info on transportation, useful websites, telephone numbers, and moreCompelling cultural information so that you’ll better understand the history, cuisine, and traditions of both Britain and ScotlandBudget-planning help with the lowdown on prices and ways to save money, whether you’re traveling on a shoestring or in the lap of luxuryAbout Frommer's: There’s a reason Frommer’s has been the most trusted name in travel for more than 65 years.
