I always enjoy the DK family guides. Even though my kids are older now I enjoy the fun facts and kids corner. These always pack in a ton of historical facts which I also love.

I liked Fordor’s better. This one gave me some anti-Catholic vibes. Nice that it gave some scavenger hunt ideas and playground areas. Didn’t like that it gave “family of 4” pricing.

This is so intricate that it can make your head hurt. Like it says in the description, this DK book is more colorful and descriptive than other travel guides, but is also slightly less helpful which is what I needed.
