A Must for Visiting Alaska!

Review by Thelma Harper, 2010-07-15

This book was spot on for everything we wanted to do on our vacation to Alaska. We chose not to take a cruise, but rather rent a car and explore on our own with Anchorage as our "base camp." The Frommers information on dining, activities and tours was invaluable. We had a wonderful vacation and found so many lovely things to do thanks to this little guide.

VERY COMPLETE AND INFORMATIVE

Review by chinbread, 2009-12-01

Before I read this book, i had no clue on what Alaska had to offer. I thought an Alaskan Cruise would be "seeing" Alaska. This has been a great asset in planning a land based vacation and we know we will only be scratching the surface.

well worth it if you are planning a visit to Alaska.

Very helpful book on Alaska and Tracy Arm

Review by Johnny Maven, 2009-07-11

Tracy Arm is by far the most scenic trip there is. On my trip I saw unbelievable calving glaciers, bears, humpback whales, killer whales, beautiful waterfalls and much more. I definitely recommend going to Tracy Arm. In fact, there is a DVD on Tracy Arm called "Alaska, The Tracy Arm Experience". The DVD captures the beauty of this incredible place. The DVD is available on Amazon.

I highly recommend Tracy Arm. If you get a chance, experience it yourself.

If you have to choose one Alaska guide, go with Fodor"s

Review by S. Case, 2009-02-12

I have read both Frommer's Alaska and Fodor's Alaska 2009, and the Fodor's is by far more comple, and much better illustrated with color photos, too. For persons interested in the Alaska bush for example, Frommer's kisses offthe native town of Bethel and the surrounding country as having little interest for a visitor, while Fodor's spends several pages on the town, its surroundings, places to stay and eat, and back country guides and adventures. Go with the Fodor's.

Frommer's, Fodor's, they are the same

Review by G. Baker, 2009-01-17

If you are only going to use one book to plan a trip, well it will do. It is practically the same book as Fodor's. While Amazon does not have it, a friend gave me a new book "Pauline Frommer's Alaska: Spend Less - See More" that is the best of all the books out there for those not on a tour or cruise. REPEAT - for those not on a tour or cruise.

I purchased this book on Bob Kaufman's recommendation. I was not impressed with the book, but was with the web site he suggested.
