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.

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!

Guide Review

I’ve been buying Lonely Planet’s books since 1982 when I went all through SE Asia on a single book, Southeast Asia on a Shoestring. I know LP and I trust them. I bought this as a maybe trip to Mauritius. In the end I decided against the trip given the distance and expense from Seattle. I didn’t see what I was looking for but without the guide book I could not have made that judgement - for me. As a place it might be for you. In any case, the guide was excellent.
