The Rough Guide to New Zealand 5 (Rough Guide Travel Guides)

7 reviews
Rough Guides

Rough Guides, 2006

An excellent resource
After trying another guidebook, we purchased The Rough Guide shortly before we left for New Zealand. It was an invaluable companion during our travels. The reviews were spot-on, leading us to a number of excellent restaurants and good campgrounds. We even appreciated knowing that a restaurant was "somewhat overpriced but adequate" before we went in--and that description was completely accurate. ...

The Rough Guide to Morocco

Rough Guides

Rough Guides, 2007

Covers the whole country in a depth unmatched by other guidebooks, and up-to-date too
During a recent visit to Morocco, hitchhiking across the whole of the country from north to south, I used the 8th edition of THE ROUGH GUIDE TO MOROCCO (published October 2007) and its main competitor, the 2007 edition of Lonely Planet Morocco. For the independent traveler who wants to explore Morocco in depth, the Rough Guide is clearly the best option among current guidebooks. It is much ...

very useful
having spent a couple of months travelling through chile, i got to know my rough guide well, and had chance to compare to many of the other guide books out there, there are speciality books which cover other areas better and in more detail, some only available in chile. but of the mainstream guides this is definately the best. the cultural information is where the rough guides stand out, in fact ...

EXCELLENT book!!!
In addition to providing me with the basics of where to stay, where to go, etc. RG gave me all of the cultural/historical information I needed to have a deeper understanding of Egyptian culture and better enjoy my trip. The enhanced discussion of "baksheesh" was particularly useful!!

Rough Guides

Rough Guides, 2007

Fantastic Tome Ripe with Ideas
If you're looking for a reference book on travel ideas, look no further! This book is beyond excellent. I am currently researching for an extended round-the-world backpacking trip with my son. I spend a lot of time in bookstores taking notes. This book, however, was so full of excellent info that I actually bought it, despite my strict budget. It is one of the best travel investments I have ...

The Rough Guide to Spain 12 (Rough Guide Travel Guides)

Rough Guides, 2007

recommended
I traveled for three weeks driving in southern and central Spain with this 2007 Rough Guide to Spain, a 2007 DK Eyewitness Travel Spain book, and a 2004 Frommer's Spain's Best Loved Driving Tours guidebook. While each had some information the others didn't, the Rough Guide was the most informative and most used...therefore the one I'd recommend taking. Times for museums/attractions and prices ...

The Rough Guide to Vietnam 5 (Rough Guide Travel Guides)

9 reviews
Rough Guides

Rough Guides, 2006

Couldn't get along without it
Rough Guide has become one of my favorites. It's value is that it targets a group beyond the backpackers. Vietnam is no exception. The maps are good, recommendations we used were always good. There is plenty of practical information about getting around and still has info the the backpackers, but many suggestions for more upscale restaurants and hotels. This was our primary guidebook for 3 weeks ...

Waterproof Venice Map by Rough Guide Maps (Rough Guide Country/Region Map)

4 reviews
Rough Guides

Rough Guides Maps, 2007

Excellent Map
I went to Venice for the first time in May 2007 and found this map indispensable. It was better than many other maps I had researched and better than maps that I saw for sale in Venice! Would definitely recommend to anyone going to Venice, particularly if it is your first visit to this beautiful yet very easy to get lost in city.

The Rough Guide to Film Noir 1 (Rough Guide Reference)

Rough Guides

Rough Guides, 2007

A bright look at black
A handy square paperback that does a pretty good wrap-up of this interesting movie genre that is still being discovered by new fans. The three hundred pages include a ton of information in a listing format that is very accessible (though most readers wont be aware of it the type and page design helps, too). The eight chapters are: Origins, History, Fifty essential movies, Noir icons, Noir ...

Invaluable guide
This book was absolutely indispensable on my first trip to the fascinating island of Jamaica.

This is a must-buy guide to anyone traveling to Jamaica for the first time or the tenth.

The Rough Guide to Mexico 7 (Rough Guide Travel Guides)

Rough Guides

Rough Guides, 2007

Perfect balance
I love these guides because they offer the perfect balance between practical information and "the fun stuff." Rough Guides keep getting better and better, and this one is the best I've ever purchased (I have a collection of about 20). For long-time fans, it's typical Rough Guides fare: It's a thick flexible chunk of paper featuring exhaustive coverage, more words than photographs, lots of ...

The Rough Guide to Greece 12 (Rough Guide Travel Guides)

Rough Guides

Rough Guides, 2008

Brilliant! The best of the Greece books
A terrific guide to both the Greek mainland and the islands. Spent several months trawling around the country, at first with several guide books, Fodors, Rough Guide, Lonely Planet, etc., but finally found that the Rough Guide knew the country best, and made for a more entertaining travel companion, so I ditched the other books about three weeks into the trip. Absolutely the only book for ...

The Rough Guide to Croatia 4 (Rough Guide Travel Guides)

Rough Guides

Rough Guides, 2007

well done
I used this book for a week in Croatia, visiting Zagreb, Dubrovnik, Split, and Brac. It was right on for timetables, maps, etc. This is the most important part for me, as I need a guidebook to be accurate in telling me when/how to take a train/bus from one place to another. Also, I liked seeing a few photos before I went, which helped determine what I wanted to see. Everything was written ...

The Rough Guide to Mandarin Chinese Dictionary Phrasebook 3 (Rough Guide Phrasebooks)

4 reviews
Rough Guides

Rough Guides, 2006

The best book if you want to be able to say more than hello during your trip.
Rough Guide Mandarin is structured completely different from most phrase books: The first 40+ pages gives you numbers, days of the week, time, etc., and a 20 minute course in grammar. Oh no, you might be saying, but it is presented very simply. For instance it presents a handful of common verbs and their conjugations. So on one page you can see how to say "I have," "he has, " etc. and "I ...

The best phrase book if you actually want to learn more than how to say hello during your trip.
Rough Guide Russian is structured completely different from most phrase books: The first 50 pages gives you numbers, days of the week, time, etc., and a 20 minute course in Russian grammar. Oh no, you might be saying, but it is presented very simply. For instance it presents a handful of common verbs and their conjugations.

The Rough Guides' St. Lucia Directions (Rough Guide Directions)

6 reviews
Rough Guides

Rough Guides, 2006

Love This Guide
Although we won't be leaving for our first trip to St. Lucia for another week, I have to say that this guidebook had everything I look for when researching vacation destinations. Given that St. Lucia is a small island, there aren't the number of guidebooks out there that there are for larger destinations. I ordered three different books on St. Lucia but this is, by far, my favorite. My ...
