They ACTUALLY read URL's verbatim

This wasn't a waste - and I'm not returning it - but the audio format is just a poor fit for travel guides where they're trying to pass along phone numbers and websites for museums, restaurants, etc. Reading a URL, especially when there not just giving the domain but getting down to the .aspx file extension- just should not be done - EVER. It got to the point where I almost started drumming my fingers on the steering wheel each time - and they're German URL's so where there are umlauts they have to spell out the diphthong. UGH!
There was some valuable information and, having visited Munich before, I picked up some info, but you quickly realize the printed word is what you want - probably to carry around on your trip. I don't take notes very often / and I am NOT going to be transcribing URL addresses anytime soon.

A lot of addresses, phone numbers, and URLs

Any additional comments?

This seems more like something a blind person would appreciated since its mostly a listing of tourist-related things, e.g. hotels, walking tours, passport info. Along with each agency, the narrator speaks the addresses and URL's ("dot h t m l", etc.) which gets boring fast. This did not translate into the audiobook format very well.

But the narrator has a beautiful voice.

Waste of credit

40% of the time is spent spelling out websites. Horrible. Don’t waste your money on this.

A great guide

I was going to Munich and this audiobook was an invaluable companion during my trip. It is very resourceful, with relevant, up-to-date content and plenty of information about the city, sights, cool places and ways to save money while in Munich. The guide is well organized, easy to listen and I found the web site address details extremely helpful. I created my itinerary using this material and had a great traveling experience in Munich. I would highly recommend this audiobook and its contents.
