 Great guide to San Antonio Dec 31, 2002
By Robin Currier
I took this guide on a first time visit to San Antonio and found it invaluable. Not only was it up to date with info on the latest hotels, attractions, and restaurants, but it contains lots of asides containing interesting information on the different sites that added to our enjoyment at visiting these sites. A first rate job!

 DEEP IN THE HEART OF TEXAS Oct 10, 2007
By Shannon Deason
These frommer guides are well put together, at least the writers seem to have actually visited these two cities. Im very familiar with both cities and i have to say for the tourist, Austin does not hold a candle to San Antonio..it's sort of like comparing Baton Rouge to New Orleans. I mean dont get me wrong id rather live in Austin, but if your going to these cities for fun, spend like two days in Austin, then make your way to San Antonio...fast,,,the riverwalk alone is worth spending several days. As for this guide, I like the way it's layed out and the ratings of sites is very accurate. The hotel and restaurant guides are pretty basic, but it gives you an general overview. If you have never visited this area...be sure to ride out into the Hill Country, all the German Heritage and scenic vista's is not to be missed...

Check out Austin Aug 26, 2008
By Pat J. Vanhooser
"patvan2000"
This book was very helpful on my recent 3 day trip to Austin. I used many of the suggestions (Austin Motel, Duck Adventure, Bat tour) and found them to be right on the mark. It was a good investment and made the trip much more organized.

Frommer's San Antonio Mar 02, 2009
By Mommykins
"World traveler"
We used this book a LOT during our week vacationing in San Antonio. I found that their recommendations were right on the mark, for places to see and things to do, and restaurants. We'd already done our airline, rental car, and hotel reservations, so we didn't need the book for that. But we did their recommended downtown walking tour one day, and it was just like having our personal tour guide with us as we read about each stop. The first night we found our way to a Tex-Mex restaurant that they recommended, and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
Other days we drove to outlying towns that were also recommendations, and we never would have discovered them on our own without that book. This book is a Must if you are going to vacation in San Antonio and/or Austin and haven't been there before!

Great Gift! Sep 04, 2010
By Julia A. Andrews
My husband and I have used a number of travel guides over the years and always found them helpful. When two of my friends/retiring co-workers decided to spend 6 weeks in the Rio Grande Valley including some time in Austin, San Antonio and the Texas Hill Country I did some research on Amazon for a travel guide as a gift.
Knowing what they have planned I think this guide will only make their trip better. There are laminated maps, sidetrips to the Hill Country, restaurant recommendations, and shopping, shopping and shopping trip tips.
I hope they enjoy the guide!
I hope they enjoy their retirement, they have earned it! :)
