How to Download & Access Your Guides

We want to make sure downloading your Awesome Travel Guide is as easy and stress-free as possible. Here's everything you need to know to access your guides on any device, whether you're using a phone, tablet, or computer.

Two Easy Ways to Access Your Guides

1. Via Email

After your purchase, you'll receive an email titled: "Your Awesome Travel Guides downloads are ready"

  1. Open the email on your computer, tablet, or phone.
  2. You’ll see download buttons next to each guide you bought.
  3. Click the download button for each guide. Your device will start downloading a file.
  4. Because the guides are large, they arrive in a .zip file (a “packed” file that holds your guide inside it).
  5. Once the file finishes downloading, double-click it. Your device will automatically open (or “unzip”) the file for you.
  6. Inside, you’ll see two versions of your guide:
    • A PDF (easy to read on any device)
    • An ePub file (perfect for apps like Apple Books, Kindle, and Google Play Books)
    You don’t need to choose right away. You can use either version at any time on any device.

2. Via Your Account

If you can’t find the email or you’d like to download your guides again, here’s the easiest way to do it:

  1. Go to our website: awesometravelguides.com
  2. Look at the top-right corner of the screen and tap the little person icon (👤).
  3. Type in your email address — the same one you used when you bought your guides.
  4. Check your email inbox for a message containing a one-time sign-in code.
  5. Enter that code on the website when asked.
  6. Once you’re signed in, you’ll see your Account Dashboard where you can re-download all your guides anytime.

How to Print Your Guide

Printing the entire guide isn’t recommended — it would be a very large stack of paper. Instead, it’s much easier (and cheaper) to print only the pages you want to take with you.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Open the PDF

  • On your computer, double-click the PDF file to open it.
  • It will open in your default PDF viewer (usually Preview on Mac or Adobe Reader on Windows).

2. Look Through the Guide

  • Scroll through the PDF and decide which pages you want printed.
  • Many travelers print only:
    • Their walking tours
    • Exercise routes
    • Neighborhood maps
    • Kids activities
    • Events
    • Or any pages they expect to reference often

3. Open the Print Menu

  • Go to File → Print, or
  • Press Ctrl + P (Windows) or Command + P (Mac).

4. Choose “Page Range”

  • In the print window, find the section labeled Pages or Page Range.
  • Instead of printing “All,” enter the specific pages you want.
    • For example: 5–7, 12, 20–21
    • You can type single pages or ranges.

5. Choose Black & White (Optional)

  • If you want to save ink, switch color settings to Black & White or Grayscale.

6. Adjust Size (Optional)

  • If you want the text larger and easier to read:
    • Look for “Scale” or “Fit to Page.”
    • Selecting Fit to Printable Area can make pages easier on the eyes.

7. Print

  • Click Print, and your selected pages will print.

Quick Tip: If you’re ever traveling, many hotels, libraries, and shipping stores (like FedEx Office or UPS) can print selected pages for you—just email them the PDF with the page numbers you want.
