Create your own travel guides with Dorling Kindersley

Filed in archive News , technology by Karen Bryan on June 12, 2008

You can create your own personalised Travel Guides on the traveldk.com site. You can select which content you want to include in your guide, which could be a mixture of user generated reviews and attraction submissions, photos, maps and Dorling Kindersley content. If you want to download your guide as a pdf file there is a charge of £2.50. If you prefer a hard copy the price is £10 including postage and packing.

The traveldk.com site has recently won 2 awards from Travelmole as the Best Travel Extras site and from Travolution as for the Best of Use of Technology.

I think you could probably collate your own personalised travel guide using various websites as sources for your desired information but it would be more convenient to do it all on one site and end up with a pdf file instead of a pile of printouts from various sites.

Interesting idea, but it seems like a lot of time is required to put the guide together. We've taken another approach with pre-formatted PDF guides available for less than the cost of a beach massage... See http://www.travelfish.org
for more information -- we just released our guide to Luang Prabang in Laos.

Stuart, I can see merit in either type of guide. It you spend time compiling your own guide it will be more tailored to your specific needs but if you want a quick guide you can download a ready made guide such as those featured in Travelfish.

Your pdf guides are pretty reasonably priced, around $4. I see you also offer a 7 day money back guarantee.
