Renate Herkner (Munich tour guide)
As an official tour guide of Munich I want to express my enthusiasm for your perfect research of all hidden and mysterious places. A fantastic book.

Hidden Europe magazine (Issue 26, May-June 2009)
In a world where places seem to become ever more similar, it was an absolute joy to stumble on the "Only in..." series of guidebooks written by Duncan J. D. Smith. Each guide identifies 84 distinctive sights within a particular city. His approach to places and history appeals to us a lot. The ‘Only in...‘ series is a refreshing antidote to the prevailing tide of uniformity favoured by too many travel guides.
