Loved this guide
| Customer Rating: | | Just got back form Mexico, great guide. Every question I had I found answers for. |
Lonely Planet's slipping up
| Customer Rating: | | I've used these guide books for years. Chalcatzingo, Morales isn't even in the book. It's an important Olmec site. The major museum in Mexico City (National Anthropology) wasn't high lighted in the index. You have to hunt through every museo entry and there are many. This stuff is annoying. |
Still ubiquitous among backpackers
| Customer Rating: | Honestly, you don't even need to buy this, because everyone else will have one if you're staying at hostels. But I took it on a 2-week trip in May 2008, and it does the job. I wasn't disappointed with any of the hostels or restaurants that were recommended, and they all existed, which is nice.
A few minor criticisms:
The Mexico City Metro map is awful. Too gray and too hard to read. The maps in the station are easier to use to navigate, which is sad.
All the prices are in dollars. That's just silly, and sometimes confusing since they use $ for pesos in Mexico. Further, all the prices are wrong. I assume this is because it's a couple of years old, but maybe it's because the exchange rate changed. In particular, every single archaeological attraction was a different price (48 pesos, not $3.50).
The abbreviations for the bus services are annoying since they don't use them locally.
Should the Author's Choice hostel in a Lonely Planet really be a $325 / night room? |
Ole!
| Customer Rating: | | The Lonely Planet was good to have along but shouldn't be used singularly. We were glad we had two other guides along. Some of the LP info was dated but in Mexico the pace was slow and we went with the flow. |
THIS BOOK IS WRITTEN IN SPANISH!!!!
| Customer Rating: | | It needs to be made clear in the description that this book is written in Spanish - just saying "Spanish Guides" isn't enough. I had to return it and pay shipping twice because of this error. |
