We got you.

Our new advertising campaign for 2021 has started and we’re very excited about it. Help get your friends and family “Clued In” to our travel books by spreading the word (and this blog) so they don’t miss out. After all, the best travel advice and tips come straight from us! And we would be so grateful if everyone could help share our beautiful Instagram posts at @cluedintravelbooks

We look forward to seeing our readers and fans out there traveling once again. –Dean and Andie

Accessible? Yes!

After several (gentle) suggestions from our readers we finally got it done. All ten of our travel books now include current info on accessibility for those with limited mobility. That means it’s there for every sight and every restaurant. And we truly hope everyone finds it helpful.

Happy Travels, Dean and Andie

Things are getting better all the time

It’s looking more and more like travel will take off at some point this year. Total yay. We’ve already booked accommodations in Europe for October and have our fingers and toes crossed that we can grab some flights by late June. All of our overseas Clued In cities came back to life this month, opening up their museums and sights. June will see the full opening of restaurants and the like, so we’re keeping an eye on that as well. Right now the restaurants are partially open.

Our travel books for Paris, Rome, Florence, Venice, London, Edinburgh, and Barcelona have all been republished as new 2021 editions because of this fantastic progress. That means you can start doing your planning now! For folks who are staying state-side, we also updated and republished our books for New York, San Francisco, and Miami. Let’s do this thing!

Happy travels, Dean and Andie

Waiting to be bored

People are asking us when our “Bored In” series of books will return after being nearly decimated from the pandemic. The answer is… very soon! Bored in Paris will be the first one, up and running on Amazon in both ebook and print versions at the start of June. The rest of them will follow during the summer. The books are all about the fun experiences you can have in our “Clued In” cities. Thank you so much for all your kind words and best wishes!

New series: Bored in London is here!

The newest addition to our “fun” series of travel guides has just arrived on amazon.com. We’re so proud of Bored in London – Awesome Experiences for the Repeat Visitor and can’t wait for our fans to check it out! From horseback riding in Hyde park to spending the night at the London Zoo, this book is jammed packed with all the info you need to make an ordinary visit into something truly special. It’s got a few surprises in it too, and boasts a fantastic shopping chapter. (It’s great for the first-time visitor to London as well.)

“Bored in Florence” is here!

When we tell people about the newest book in our Bored In series, we always get the same reaction:  “How can anyone be bored in Florence?”  Even our contact at Amazon publishing said it.  But that’s okay because those in the know realize that this super-fun guide to Florence might have a snarky title but it’s about awesome experience for the repeat visitor. (It can also make a first-time visit there into something extra special.) Whether you’re going there all by yourself, with kids, going to get engaged, or are planning a honeymoon trip, YOU NEED THIS BOOK.  We think our chapter headings say it all:

 Try a Group Experience
   (View things differently as part of a pack)
Connect with Nature
   (Outdoor activities in and around Florence)
Learn Something New
   (And gain knowledge of the culture)
Search for Something
   (Hunting for Tuscan goodies is fun)
Have an Engrossing Individual Experience
   (Make it all about you)
Make Memories
   (Share delightful moments with loved ones)
Local Thrills and Chills
   (Some of Florence’s more hair-raising sights)
Be a Child Again
   (Places and activities to share with your kids)

If you’ve ever thought about rafting on the Arno River, or dining in a former Medici Palace, this is your guide book.   It’ll give you all the info at your fingertips. Unlike our Clued In series, it is available in a handy 5×8 inch travel sized paperback as well as in ebook format (which has all the web links and email addresses live and clickable.)

So don’t just go to the Uffizi Gallery again, or if you do, go with a fun group tour led by an expert that will bring it all to life! That’s what Bored in Florence is about.

Happy travels, Dean & Andie
