National Geographic Traveler Magazine

It took less than a month for our order to be processed. Wow, what speed! So far, my husband and I are very impressed with the magazine. This magazine seems to offer something for everyone from both budget and interest perspectives. (Not just a travel magazine for the rich.) The photos are, of course, absolutely fabulous too.

A Great Magazine for the Dreamer

2007-11-22
This is a great magazine for the dreaming traveler. Unless you have quite a bit of money, this may be as close as you get to some of these places, but que sera, sera. The photos are of National Geographics usual great quality, and every now and then you'll find something close enough to home to actually see.

Traveler Magazine

A bit more geared to the wealthy than I anticipated. I plan on traveling during my impending retirement but really can not afford most of the destinations they have covered thus far. Still, it is very interesting reading and I do not regret the purchase.

Pound for Pound Best Magazine Published

2006-10-19
NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC TRAVELER is a resource for active, curious travelers. It uses storytelling and you-are-there photography. Features focus on domestic and foreign destinations, personal travel reflections, food and restaurants, great places to stay, photography, trends, adventure, ecotourism, road trips, cultural events, and travelers and TravelWise-which appears with every major feature-furnishes a lively and complete mini guidebook to help consumers plan their trips.

A Quality Magazine

2006-09-03
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

2006-08-27
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

2006-07-10
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

2006-01-26
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!
