As me and a friend are planning a round the world trip this series of books has been a great help. In picking places where to go it's helpful to know whats there! Were mainly backpacking and using hostels so specific country guides aimed at this was essential. We needed to know campsites, country entry requirements, cost of living, activities, etiquette, transport options, do's and don'ts and most importantly what the food was like! As well as info on touring in campervans, car or footslogging. The book has it all and more. It covers all such topics and then reviews each place in the country individually. It has topics on law, car rental and purchase, gay and lesbians interests and so much more. If your travelling to this country ... Read More:

Despite the inferior quality of the photo reproduction I've always thought that Rough Guide is better value than Lonely Planet. It is generally more informative, more erudite, and the style is arguably geared to a wider readership, while LP leans more towards backpackers and gap-year students. I also think LP is more prone to hyperbole while Rough Guide is normally unflinchingly honest about places. It's perceived negativity is for me a bonus as it is often better to travel with lower or at least realistic expectations. As it says in the opening gambit, many travellers head for India expecting to 'encounter a timeless ascetic wonderland and are surprised to find one of the most materialistic societies on the planet'. I think this is pretty spot ... Read More:

This map travelled around southern india with and was my best friend!! It's very accurate, lightweight, waterproof and easy to read (not so easy to fold, but I've not yet met a map that is!)

I am heading off to the India next month to travelling from Mumbai up to Delhi and Rajasthan and thus was looking for a good guide book! I've had the Lonely Planet - India guide for several weeks and it appears excellent and concise and is highly recommended by everyone I speak to. I was also looking for a more specific regional and city guide and thus when I saw this book I thought it would be ideal! However, when it arrived it is simply just the Rajasthan, Delhi and Agra pages lifted from the Lonely Planet - India book! Therefore if you own that, this book is of no use!! At the same time I ordered the Lonely Planet "Best of Mumbai" and it appears to be an excellent, colourful guide with useful maps. By chance this week I popped into a book ... Read More:

I have just returned from china in which i spent three months there teaching and travelling. This was my first time travelling and the book was fantastic!! Alot of details and information for even the obscurest places in china. There was only one place i visted that wasn't in the lonely planet. It helped with language barrier aswell due to a lot of the places i went to were in chinese characters in the book. I will stick with the lonely planet guides when I travel in the future. Also much better than rough guide!

Lonely Planet - great for maps and local transport but thats about all! As any experienced traveller will tell you, the minute any restaurant, cafe or hotel gets it name in LP then its prices will double and the standards will half! I also agree with some of the other comments here, why do they try so hard to be cool and why do they tell us what we should and shouldnt do? An OK book but now and then leave it in your backpack and be adventurous.

This book covers Bangkok and the Centre and East (Issan) side of Northern Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and Yunnan in China. This is a very good loop for travelers who are going to be doing this circuit around Southeast Asia. The book is too condensed for my liking though. The book is small and lightweight (about 1/2 size of the Thailand guide book) but with that compromises have had to be made. It therefore seems to be similar in content to the Southeast Asia guidebook for the areas it covers. I would have preferred the book to be the size of the larger guides and covered more detail. The are also some quirks with the book. Although the sections (countries) have a similar look and feel there are major information emissions ... Read More:
