Summary: Not very good
Comment: I used this on a trip to both Hong Kong and Macau with my adult son. It's ok for a basic guide, but it wasn't very helpful. I tossed it out when I checked out of the hotel.

Summary: Skims the surface AND it's out-dated!
Comment: This travel book was very disappointing. The book is broken out by neighborhood but does a very poor job organizing the information, particularly if you don't want to follow their guide step-by-step. Directions were off and the restaurant information was way out-dated, which is a definite no-no for a foodie's paradise like Hong Kong. That said, if this is your first time to HK and you have no idea how or where to begin, this might prove handy. If you're looking to really explore the neighborhoods and learn about the culture, consider your options.

Summary: Great but not perfect
Comment: I am traveling to Hong Kong this summer. This book was great and the pictures were wonderful, but I wish it would have had the top ten things like the Fromme guide. Like top ten places to visit; top ten gardens etc.

Summary: Great guide
Comment: Just got back from my trip to Hong Kong, Macau, and some areas of China. This guide was invaluable and perfect for my needs. The maps and highlights are great. The photos are colorful and plentiful. I chose this guide over the Lonely Planet because Lonely Planet seemed to have more listings, like hotels and restaurants. My hotel accommodations were already taken care of, so I didn't need that. The Insight Guide gives a good recitation of the history and the contemporary culture. I highly recommend it.
