Eyewitness Great as usual (NZ)
Rating:
This Eyewitness Guide didn't disappoint us as usual. We used it together with 2-3 other travel guides from the library when first planning our forthcoming trip and settled on the Eyewitness one to purchase and take with us. Our only criticism is it is the 2006 issue and the next one isn't available until March 2010 which is too late for us. This means that some of the information is already at least 3-1/2 yrs. old but we still rate the DK books very highly for the way they are organized and most definitely help the user sort out priorities of sites and places to visit. I agree with another reviewer who said the high quality photos and illustrations are helpful and interesting instead of having a book with loads and loads of text. This is easier and more fun to use and still manageable in terms of size, etc. to include in your luggage.
We would have also loved having a large detailed pullout NZ map to map out all the places we are going to visit but are hoping to get this from the NZ Tourist Board.
A very well written guide book
Rating:
This guide book is well worth the money. For a complete guide book that includes maps, must see places, restaurants, hotels, etc. you definitely can't beat this one. From what I have seen it blows away the competition.
Great travel guide!
Rating: 
This is my favorite style travel book "Eyewitness Travel Guides". I purchased this same style for Greece last year and this one for New Zealand. I love that you can see colored pictures of the different areas and scenery, etc. It is much more pleasant to actually see where you will be vs. reading detailed text, etc.
Best New Zealand Guide
Rating:
This book provides an incredible wealth of information, much of it visual. It really is a bargain for what you get as it is several books in one. As a travel guide, virtually every park, historical site, and place of interest is decribed with maps, detailed illustrations, and statistics that even the most experienced traveler will find of value. Regarding NZ history, there is an excellent overview that includes 7 pages of historical timeline. Much content is devoted to what makes NZ such a special place and why it is so desirable to travel there despite its remoteness. New Zealand's bounty of natural scenic wonders, unique flora, Maori culture,diverse climate, laid back lifestyle, and overall pacific flavour are all presented in a clear, detailed, informational, and user-friendly format. For anyone planning to travel to NZ, this book is highly recommended.
Quite useless
Rating:
The first impression of this book is quite good - a lot of picture and some nice informations. Although this is the only positiv thing i can think about. During my stay in New Zealand i didnt use this book at all - i didnt carried it with me.
Why?
There are no in depth informations about anything in there. The maps are quite poor, no accurate informations about business hours from galleries, museums,... only informations like "daily" opened.
Also no informations about entrance fee.
This book is okay if you want to get an quick overview what can be seen/ done in New Zealand. Its also okay if you want to read it in the bus/metro at home but its quite useless using it as travel guide.
So only 1 star because it doesnt fulfill the purpose of a travelguide with delievering informations during a journey.
