 Pound for Pound Best Magazine Published October 19, 2006
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
If your are interested in travel, culture, dining, society, or photography, this is absolutely the magazine for you.
Each issue is chock full of travel ideas that go above and beyond the boring tourist traps, and digs deep into a destinations culture and individuality. Also, giving you vivid photographic illustrations that the National Geographic Society is world renowned for.
 A Quality Magazine September 3, 2006
11 out of 13 found this review helpful
Unlike other travel magazines, this one provides a lot of useful information while holding advertising to a minimum and not interlarding promos throughout the articles (Rick Steves, are you listening?). Each issue contains a wide variety of material about diferent parts of the world and the information provided for featured destinations is truly useful. In other words, the information is trustworthy, the first prerequisite for a travel magazine.
Production quality is excellent; this is a magazine you will leave out on your coffee table.
Surprisingly, the website stinks. Not even subscribers are able to access many of the articles on line, and the weekly A-List of special deals is unimaginative and seems to focus on useless extravagances (lots of spa get-a-ways).
Finest Photo Journalism in Travel Genre and Best Cultural Destinations August 27, 2006

National Geographic Traveler brings content rich information about the locations covered, the culture of the people, places to stay for many budgets, along with breathtaking photography that makes me want to leap right into the pages.
National Geographic also has excellent travel packages (I prefer land, no cruises for me) to destinations rich in archeology, history, ancient culture, as well as newer destinations with respect to where to stay.
If you love seeing the beauty of our planet, this great magazine will definitely help you make your decisions a lot easier!

 Not that appealing July 10, 2006
5 out of 11 found this review helpful
For some reason, this magazine doesn't draw me in the way I expected it to. It arrives, and I flip through it, barely reading much, even though my husband and I travel quite a bit. I was hoping for articles with a unique perspective and brilliant, unusual photos of the world's destinations. Instead, the magazine is quite busy, very text/column heavy, so it's hard to skim and find items of interest. And the photos are beautiful, but not gripping. Honestly, I enjoy reading airline magazines more than this one.
 Terrible Subscription Dept January 26, 2006

I ordered this magazine thru Amazon three months ago, and STILL haven't received a single issue. I've emailed their subscription department to no avail. They have my money, but i don't have a magazine!
