Frommer's Santa Fe, Taos and Albuquerque (Frommer's Complete)

Written by more than 175 outspoken travelers around the globe, Frommer’s Complete Guides help travelers experience places the way locals do.

• More annually updated guides than any other series
• 16-page color section and foldout map in all annual guides
• Outspoken opinions, exact prices, and suggested itineraries
• Dozens of detailed maps in an easy-to-read, two-color design

We were most impressed by the recommendations for small out-of-the-way places we _never_ would have gone to otherwise, "Chef du Jour" in Albu. being a perfect example.

Our only quibble is that the author praises the food a little over-much. Desserts she describes as the "best you'll ever eat" we would describe as "good", for example, but then again we're from the bay area and i guess we're pretty spoiled.

Just returned from Taos and Santa Fe and I was surprised about the accuracy of King's reviews. You can plan an excellent week using this book alone (and perhaps a more detailed hiking book). Even locals we spoke with were impressed that we knew of some of the out-of-the-way places. One note: the prices listed for many of the recommended restaurants have gone up (probably due to their newfound popularity from this book).


Thank you Lesley King!!!   November 10, 2006

I just returned from five days in Santa Fe, Taos & Albuquerque. Whenever and wherever I travel I always look for the local experience. For this, this guide is fantastic!! Lesley is a real local. Her descriptions are passionate, personal and accurate. Lesley - please move to another state and write another book!! I cannot thank you more!!

Frommer's travel guide had everything I wanted to know about my visit to Santa Fe. Self-guided tours, places to visit and to eat. I have read other travel guides but found this one to be the best.


Excellent book for Santa Fe   September 11, 2009

The book is very well-written. It provides a great overview of the area and the history. I only visited Santa Fe, so I can't comment on the info about the other two cities. The info for Santa Fe hotels and restaurants was very detailed and accurate. I highly recommend Frommer's travel guides in general.
