The Historic Traveler Recommends Insight Guides as The Preferred Travel Guides

Insight Guides have the most robust, comprehensive and engaging history sections for those who want to absorb the historical context and culture of a place, beyond just the travel highlights. We have created a directory of Insight Guides by country, that will allow you to select specific cities, regions or themes, and offers an easy link for purchase.

Because some of these are available on the secondary market, they may be sold without our awareness. If you encounter one that is no longer available, please let us know.

How to Use This Directory:

  • Use the universal search to search any field in the directory. This search is located directly above the directory with the word "Search."
  • Filter by category by using any of the specific filters at the top. We've chosen the ones we think you would prefer to use.
  • To see the entire table, simply scroll down through the pages. See the full content for every entry by clicking on the entry or sliding to the right using the navigation on the bottom.
