Free info (but is it GOOD info?)

All very well and good, but when you open them you find a few (8) smartly-designed pages with the sort of information you'd be familiar with if you've looked at the parent website: OK it's not commercial, but that doesn't mean it's well-informed either. And it's oppressively American in outlook, which might lead you to question its relevance, not to mention accuracy. Do you really need to be told, as one of the handful of points about Paris, where to go to get American food "If your kids are getting fed up with French cuisine"?!

It's free, but is it good? If you want something at in-flight magazine depth to awaken your appetite for a place, well, OK, go ahead. Otherwise stick to RoughGuides online - or tell us all about it here on SusTravel.co.uk!
