Is the tamron 18 200mm f 3 5 6 3 di ii vc good for travel?

Yes, it's a sensible travel lens, with one caveat. On an APS-C camera, the 18-200mm covers wide-angle to telephoto in one zoom, so you can shoot streets, food, and landscapes without changing lenses. It's also stabilised, which helps in dim churches and interiors. The trade-off is the aperture: f/3.5-6.3 gets darker as you zoom in, so you'll want to steady the camera or raise the ISO in low light. It's built for APS-C bodies only, so check that your camera qualifies before you buy. If you want a longer reach, the Tamron 18-300mm goes further.
