.The Rough Guide to Mexico 7 (Rough Guide Travel Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > Rough Guide
by: Rough Guides

August 20, 2007
I used this guide to travel from Yucatán to Guadalajara and around Mexico City and it helped me a lot, woudn't have done it without it. Y also .readthe part from the Lonely Planet about Yucatán, and both me and the guy who owned the LP agreed that the Rough Guide is better about Yucatán. The information appears to be very real and to the point, a no nonsense guide which make your journey or life (I'm in Mexico to study half a year in a university) way easier and comfortable.

.The Rough Guide to West Africa 5 (Rough Guide Travel Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > Rough Guide
by: Richard Trillo

June 16, 2008
Admittedly, Lonely Planet's version is a couple years old now, but this Rough Guide is SO much better in terms of what to expect, how to get around, cultural aspects, what to bring, and a general cohesive overview of the region, it's sort of ridiculous. Lonely Planet's book is essentially useless compared to this. We're moving to West Africa for an extended stay, and this book has been helpful, informative, and even an interesting read. I'm glad that I waited for and then purchased this new release rather than just sticking with the guidebooks I had.

.The Rough Guide to Italy 8 (Rough Guide Travel Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > Rough Guide
by: Rough Guides

July 02, 2007
It is better to have this book than nothing. It does have some basic information in it. But there are also very basic things left out. Things like practical information to help with planning how to get where you want to go are missing or wrong. Moreover, the ability to get a good overview of what, among the endless possibilities of attractions, are really the ones most likely to be of interest, is simply not possible from the guidebook. Hence, we actually bought another guide book while we were in Italy to complement all that was lacking in this one. Especially when traveling to regions commonly covered by other books, such as we were (Rome and Naples), another option would probably be better.

.The Rough Guide to London - 7th Edition
City Travel Guides > Books > Rough Guide
by: Rob Humphreys

January 21, 2008
Rough Guides have always been my favorites, and this was no exception. It provides a comprehensive guide to all areas of the city of London, and includes hotels, cafes, pubs, shopping, etc. It also makes for an entertaining read, although I question how much the author actually likes living in London. (The book actually states that "disappointingly, London has had only 2 assassinations." This is a disappointment?!) In addition to the sections on each part of the city, the appendix has a decent history of London, as well as a list of other books about the city.

For anyone who plans to spend a substantial amount of time in London, this will be an indispensable guide. I tend to leave the country for a couple months at a time, and thus rely completely on these guides. ... Read More:

.The Rough Guide to Barcelona Map (Rough Guide City Maps)

This map is excellent because it can get wet and be folded in every way, it will not brake, because of it's material. It misses a metro map, though, but you can get one for free in many places in Barcelona, so it's not a problem.

.The Rough Guide to Cyprus 5 (Rough Guide Travel Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > Rough Guide
by: Marc Dubin

September 19, 2005
In June, 2006 my wife and I traveled extensively through all parts of Cyprus by rental car and carried 4 recently published guidebooks. Even with Lonely Planet and DK carrying 2006 copyrights, neither could hold a candle to Rough Guide (Sept, 2005). Marc Dubin's work is not simply that of a traveler writing a guidebook, but like an expert presenting an insightful, informative, and balanced work. It added immensely to our enjoyment and understanding of Cyprus. The highlights section for each chapter provided an excellent overview of each region, and for the first time I found the maps to be even better than the ones in Lonely Planet. The background information was outstanding for presenting a fair treatment of this divided island, with many excellent spotlights on pertinent ... Read More:
