Average Rating:
 Rating: - Yacatan and Mayan MexicoThis was a very good book to take along with me for my recent trip to Mexico. The reviews were spot on with regards to the various resorts and attractions. There was also plenty of well written information with regards to the Mayan history,historical sites, the local wildlife etc. With each review of a location, there were very helpful tips with regards to shopping, eating out, diving etc. Rating: - Great Guide BookI completely agree with the other review. We wanted a book that was more about the places to see and the history and culture rather than backpacker places to stay as we had all our accommodation pre-booked and this certainly fitted the bill. The large section of history at the front was very readable and informative. It was right about places to eat where we followed a recommendation and although a bit of a weighty tome to lug around it was invaluable for descriptions of the historical sights and had good town and sight maps (which I had the sense to photocopy before leaving home). We saw some details at a couple of Mayan sights that we would have missed if not for this book. I hope the next place we visit has a book in this series. Rating: - Excellent guideThis guide really contains all the information you need for Southern Mexico (Cancun to St Cristobal). We took this with us on a 4 week trip to Yucatan and Oaxaca. On the whole write ups on hotels and restaurants seemed pretty accurate.

Details on how to get to various places, buses etc. was easy to understand and accurate. The historical/political/sociological background info made good reading while waiting for buses etc. We took a Lonely Planet aswell, which was pretty good but covered a much wider area so did not have so much detail on each town. Although each book mentioned some different hotels ... Read More: |
