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.

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!

A great little guide book.
A concise city guide book pointing out the most important sights, museums and restaurants. The maps are useful too.
