Traveling to Spain

The guidebook “spain” was excellent. I used it for planning the trip to Madrid, Barcelona and Toledo.

Great tool for travel planning a quick trip to this region of England

I visited Oxford las month and this Pocket Guide was a great value. Sights and pubs reviews were spot on. One thing though: during graduation season, several sights are closed down for private events. Duke Humfrey's library and the Sheldonian Theater were unavailable during my trip. Maybe there's a note in the guide which I might have missed, but a heads-up on this would be nice.

Magnus Potter

really helpful

I love the lonely Planet Guides, they are so useful when travelling. It Had all the Importamt information about the regions in Tasmania, so we could plan our Roadtrip without googling for hours. The Cape Raoul Track was beautiful, as Well as many other places recommended Here. The prices of the ferry etc. Are also helpful. Thank you!

Experience Tasmania

A perfect little summary of the Azores best on the market

There not much available in Azores guides. I have bought a few of them. The pocket Lonely Planet doesn’t disappoint, packing what you need to know into the small book so you can work out which islands you should see and an itinerary. Would be great to have accomodation ideas but I got those from one of their consultants.
