Amazon.com Review
Initially specializing in Asia guidebooks, the Lonely Planet Travel Survival Kit series has long been a favorite of budget travelers all over the globe. Lonely Planet guides have a reputation for plainspoken and practical advice as well as thoughtful writing about history and culture, and Lonely Planet Mexico is no exception. Complementing the information about sights, accommodations, and food are extensive background notes about each region's notable past and present characteristics, from cuisine to geography to art. (Check out the full-color illustrated insert on Mexican artesanÃas, or handicrafts.) One note: this edition came out during the worst of the peso devaluation crisis, so the prices quoted may vary widely from the actual amount. It's best to rely on another guidebook for exact prices (try one that comes out every year), but for basic comparative information, Lonely Planet is a good name to trust.

 I live in Mexico. Great guide June 9, 2005

I live in Mexico, and I bought it to have a better reference while traveling in my own country. I've found places that I didn't know that existed, it has not let me down. The maps are accurate and the recommendations always are correct. The only problem I see is that the prices are not up to date, but it gives you an idea of what to expect to pay in hotels or restaurants.

I have a backpacker lodge in Mexico City and there I have had the oportunity to check most of the travellers guides for Mexico, in french, spanish, english and some in other languages. I can tell by my own experience, because I travel a lot in Mexico and use the LP guide, and by the by the experience of those guys staying at our lodge, that this guide is the most complete, acurate and updated of all guides. There you might find data that not even in the mexican tourist information centres could be found. The maps are excellent.
7th edition worked great for Jan'05 trip January 10, 2005

Lonely Planet has once again served us well. We just returned from 10 glorious days in central Mexico using the older 7th edition of the Lonely Planet Mexico book. We found this older edition to still be spot on - despite a 5 year old text (prices had changed, of course). The bus info was very reliable. Of course, we also relied on some web research to make sure the hotels we wanted to stay at were still there, or find better hotels for our needs. We visited Cuernavaca, Taxco, Tepoztlan, and Puebla. Another great product from good old LP.
Mexico is pretty big to cover in one book, but Lonely Planet is the best. December 29, 2005

We first used this book to decide where to go in Mexico, and we read various chapters then picked just one state. The sample itenaries for various types of trips are really helpful for figuring out what you want to do.
We used this book for 2 weeks in Oaxaca and while there compared it with other travellers who had a book from another company that covered only Oaxaca. The bigger book did not seem to have any more or better information in it!
Although my husband and I are in the "gray ponytail" age group, we still grab backpacks and do the lower end style travel. Lonely Planet had some natural areas and hiking descriptions that others did not.
If you are looking for the best 5-star resturant in Mexico City then perhaps some other guide is for you. If you are looking for the best deals on some unusual experiences then the staff at Lonely Planet seems to know their stuff.

Lonely Planet's Mexico coaxed my boyfriend and me to unusual local eateries, zany salsa hideouts, and unforgettably steamy bungalows in Oaxaca. Any guide book can list destinations, but this one was rich in precise and witty descriptions that seemed written with my particular taste in mind; priceless for a first time traveler to Mexico.
