Feedback from travelers
CEO "WanderStories travel guides are a valuable resource for anyone looking to have an exciting, memorable, and educational visit. It is like having an entourage of a local friend, cultural expert, and a historian all traveling with you. Reading these well written and vibrant insights, vignettes and narratives brings the local culture to life, creating a richer visual experience." James, CEO of a publishing company
traveler "WanderStories has achieved that happy medium that many tourists wish a guidebook could be: they're longer and more informative than a regular travel guide, yet are more concise than a huge book. Plus they guide you around sites as if you're on an actual tour - something that no other guidebook does." Katherine, serial traveler
Lily and Marcello “Arc de Triomphe in Paris eBook by WanderStories, what a treat!” Lily and Marcello
Professor "The special thing about WanderStories travel guides is that they can be read anytime. They are so rich with detailed imagery and interesting stories that one doesn't even have to be in the place they are describing to appreciate them!" Connor, Professor of Psychology
writer "Finding a personal travel guide who conveys the essence of the local customs, legends and rich history of your visit, is like gold-dust. WanderStories travel guides do just that. You can relive the tales, walk through history and feel part of it, discover secrets you never imagined. Compelling, informative, and memorable, these stories are every visitor's favorite companion." Macy, writer
expert "The best travel guide I ever had was in Paris because he was the one who told me the best stories about the places we looked at. He brought the places to life for me. WanderStories is like having that tourist guide at your fingertips anytime, anywhere." Donna, IT Consultant
expert "My wife and I looked at the Istanbul Stories e-book before we went to Istanbul and hoped to get a feeling for the place. We were amazed at how realistic it seemed. The stories were well written and actually entertaining! The pictures were of good quality and well placed in the pages. The map at the end was quite small but we got used to using it as it was well referenced to the stories." Charlie & Margaret
expert "I wanted a taste of Shanghai before going there on business. I chose the Shanghai Stories and read about the Bund, Yuyuan Garden, Mid-Lake Pavilion Teahouse and Lu Xun Park. I felt prepared for my trip there and I knew something about the city so that I could chat with my hosts. When I actually visited the Lu Xun Park I realised just how good the WanderStories were – it was so easy to find my way round and I could use the book with confidence to get the most out of my visit. Well done WanderStories!" Lin, Business Developer
expert "I visited Tallinn with some friends and we bought the Tallinn Stories eBook to find our way around the city. It was great! We were able to wander round as we pleased either together or in smaller groups. If we wanted a break, we took one. If we wanted to continue the next day – we did. All the advantages of a real life guide without the guide. The stories were well written too – I would really recommend the experience!" Nicolas, Cross-Cultural Communications Expert & World Traveler
teacher "Imagine having a historian by your side taking you on a tour and telling you the real human stories behind the places you are visiting. Imagine being able to re-live those events as you stand in the very spot where they happened. So much more detailed than an ordinary guidebook, this is what it is like to travel with Wanderstories." Vivian, teacher
students "We love to hear the stories behind the sights, and although personal tour guides are great, we like to have time on our own to explore. Wanderstories tell fascinating stories, they allow us to prepare for our visit, we get a 'personal guide' whilst we're there, and we get to rediscover the sights when we get home again. Perfect!" Nick and Maria, students
manager "Loving history and wanting to travel all over the world exploring even if it's just from my Kindle, I thoroughly enjoyed Beijing Stories e-book. With only basic previous knowledge of China's history I found the virtual tour given in this book very interesting and in-depth. The thorough knowledge of the writer and their ability to bring these sights to life had me thoroughly absorbed. It was lovely as well, whilst travelling through time to learn about the different dynasties and their reigns. I only have the basic Kindle, however, I found the pictures which accompanied the text were clear and definitely added to the feeling of being there. Whether you are going to China or are just interested in China's history I can truly recommend this book." Ken, General Manager
architect "These illustrated e-travel guides really deserve their name WanderStories because they provide a wealth of information recounted by people whose inherited knowledge of their country’s treasures allows you to read, look at the photos and wander with them. And the atmosphere at the time will linger with you long after, as you can recall the tour as often as you wish." Joseph, product designer
receptionist “I really enjoyed Shanghai Stories. It provided good information, often in an amusing way, about the sights, information that you cannot find in any other guidebook. The information was not so abundant that it put me to sleep nor was it abbreviated bullet points that left me thirsting for more. It was written in a chapter form that I could easily read and follow as I enjoyed the sights. When I visited Yu Yuan Garden, this ebook actually took the place of a guided tour for me.” Katya, receptionist
architect “Perfect for my trip to Beijing. I didn't even need the audio guides at the sights. Helped me spend every day that I had available after some business over there, going to the best sights in Beijing and around.” Martin, architect
Colosseum “We just loved the ebook about Colosseum on our iPad.” Max & Nadya
