.Hawaii (Lonely Planet Country and Regional Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > Lonely Planet
by: Jeff Campbell

April 01, 2008
Covers information about the island and attractions well, but is very frustarting to use when all you want is information on a specific place or attraction. Tends to go off on tangents at times and give you information that just isn't relevant. A good guide though if you have time to read through all the info.

.Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands (Lonely Planet Country Guide)
City Travel Guides > Books > Lonely Planet
by: Danny Palmerlee, Michael Grosberg, Carolyn McCarthy

August 01, 2006
I bought this guide before I travelled around Ecuador and other parts of South America last summer. Although it was helpful, well presented and laid-out, I found the guide disppointing in two main ways:
The maps used are sometimes inaccurate in terms of where the symbols for bus stations, hotels etc have been placed, and some street names do not match those given in the guide;
The guide has been badly edited in a few places, meaning that it is difficult to understand what point the author is trying to make.
I also found that a lot of information in this edition is long out of date (if you are buying this, make sure to print of a copy of Lonely Planet's updates from their website, although I don't know how useful they are either). ... Read More:

.Botswana and Namibia (Lonely Planet Multi Country Guide)
City Travel Guides > Books > Lonely Planet
by: Paula Hardy, Matthew Firestone

February 01, 2007
I had access to the Footprint of Namibia as well as this Lonely Planet guide for the last 19 days in Namibia. Being an avid LP guide user for many years it was my first choice, but I have to say it was eclipsed by the Footprint guide, and a downright disappointment at times. So much information I looked for was either missing or worse, wrong. Given that it is a 2007 edition I was amazed to discover that a bridge built over the Zambezi in 2004/5 to access Zambia from Namibia was missing. LP stated there was still a ferry only across the river, and as a result I would have driven via Botswana and Zimbabwe instead had I not had the Footprint.

I have also decided I don't like the way they always quote prices in US dollars - why not in the ... Read More:

.England (Lonely Planet Country Guide)
City Travel Guides > Books > Lonely Planet
by: David Else

March 01, 2007
I haven't had a problem with the accuracy and the usefulness of the information in this Lonely Planet guide to England. I have no complaints there. The prices and the opening times are right. The recommendations insightful and the options presented (more or less) clearly.
My only complaint is that the depth of information is quite limited and the maps don't often cover more than the very city town centre of most locations.
I can understand that the book can only be so big but really, who wants to carry around a chapter of England's history when you travel and then resort to a series of additional maps and guide information. If you're going to carry this great hunking book when you travel, take it to read as well as as your guide book and ... Read More:

.Dubai (Lonely Planet City Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > Lonely Planet
by: Terry Carter, Lara Dunston

September 01, 2006
Good but as with all travel guides you need the latest edition and this one is a bit dated. Dubai is changing so fast you must keep up to date.I also prefer smaller size guides that will fit the pocket. Lonely Planet is a bit too large to carry especially when the temperature is ove 100 F. But if you plan to go you must do the Big Bus Tour. It is the best introduction to the city.
