Tailored, location-specific themes give you a true sense of place.
By connecting a series of sites to a unifying theme, Approach Guides give structure and meaning to your travels.
Complements standard travel guidebooks.
While traditional guidebooks cover “everything”, Approach Guides focus on specific cultural topics and are rich in historical, artistic, and religious context. They are the perfect cultural complement to your basic guidebook.
Organized for quick, on-site reference.
All guides follow an easy-to-read, bullet-point format, so you can process the information quickly and don’t miss anything.
Affordable.
Approach Guides range in price from $4.99 to $11.99 and are backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee. Further, you can preview our guides for free, so you know what you are getting before you buy.
All-electronic travel guides.
Approach Guides are delivered as PDF files, allowing you to leave your bulky travel books at the hotel. These PDFs can be easily viewed from your iPhone and Blackberry, but are ideally suited to an iPad. Freedom from your guidebook makes you more the traveler and less the tourist.
Travel with local, in-country operators.
To aid you with your travel planning, Approach Guides has just launched a free and totally independent resource for local tour operator, guide, and driver recommendations. See our listings.
