Beautiful gift
I gave this to my travel agent friend and although she has been to quite a few places this tome is a lovely reminder of places visited or a bucket list for places one must visit.

Gorgeous book!
The first time I bought this book used, it came damaged so I sent it back with prime and got a new one. This book is very beautiful, well written and the pictures are absolutely gorgeous. It's very inspirational and was so exciting seeing all the places I've been already and places I still would like to go. Highly recommended for anyone who loves to travel.

Beautiful National Geographic photos
Photography is unbelievably beautiful, as usual for for National Geographic books. Excellent discount price. Big and heavy would be ideal as a coffee table book even suitable for a professional waiting room

Schönes Buch, das Lust zum Reisen macht!
Zu diesem Buch gibt es nicht viel zu sagen: schöne Beschreibungen und noch schönere Bilder, die Lust zum Reisen machen. Man darf fälschlicherweise nicht davon ausgehen, dass dies ein Reiseführer ist oder einem detaillierte Informationen zu bestimmten Reisezielen bietet. Dies tut es nicht. Das Buch gibt einem jedoch schöne Ideen für Reiseziele und macht Lust auf mehr!
