Customer Reviews

Very disappointing
The book was well-written, but repetitive. The same city sites came up in almost every chapter. The restaurants reviewed were mostly tourist traps. The food was decent, but overpriced. Do not go out of your way to visit the Varsity. While the food was inexpensive, it was sub-par. We did not drive, but used the MARTA system. The sites were often no where NEAR the MARTA stop listed in the guide book. More emphasis needs to be placed on the fact that downtown Atlanta is dangerous after dark, and there is not much to do in the evenings (once the few attractions close).

Served me well while in Atlanta
Great map that served me well while in Atlanta.

Shows the highways and a few byways...most of Atlanta..downtown..central..southern...western..and some of the northeastern parts too! Any user can clearly ..quickly and easily see where they are.

Driving from outside the heart of Atlanta---into Atlanta for the days of fun and sightseeing will be easy as pie with this map !

Getting aroound Atlanta from the airport with be a snap..because you'll know where your going.

I do suggest it for all !
