Excellent Book - but identical to lonely planet India!!,
By Backpacker (England, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rajasthan, Delhi and Agra (Lonely Planet Regional Guides) (Paperback)
I am heading off to the India next month to travelling from Mumbai up to Delhi and Rajasthan and thus was looking for a good guide book! I've had the Lonely Planet - India guide for several weeks and it appears excellent and concise and is highly recommended by everyone I speak to. I was also looking for a more specific regional and city guide and thus when I saw this book I thought it would be ideal! However, when it arrived it is simply just the Rajasthan, Delhi and Agra pages lifted from the Lonely Planet - India book! Therefore if you own that, this book is of no use!!
At the same time I ordered the Lonely Planet "Best of Mumbai" and it appears to be an excellent, colourful guide with useful maps. By chance this week I popped into a book shop and found the "DK Eyewitness Travel Guide" to Delhi, Agra and Jaipur and bought it! It is an excellent regional guide and is exactly what I was looking for from the lonely planet guide, I would highly recommend it! In summary, if you have the lonely planet India guide, do not buy this book as you already have all of the information it contains. Secondly, although the information is very useful, I would also suggest buying the DK eyewitness guide as an adjunct, simply for the excellent maps and pictures to help visualise the places you will be going!

room for improvement,
By Weltveränderer (Berlin) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Delhi (Lonely Planet Regional Guides) (Paperback)
This lonely planet is quite disappointing especially if you compare it to the usual lonely planet standard. Information is not structured in an easy to find way and important information is missing. After being in Delhi for 3 weeks, I have abandoned the lonely planet and mainly use other guidebooks.

This review is from: Rajasthan, Delhi and Agra (Lonely Planet Country & Regional Guides) (Paperback)
As ever, Lonely Planet leads the pack of guidebooks to Asia. The guide contains not only useful and reasonably up-to-date information about the major cities and sites, but also covers lesser-known places, and contains a good cultural and historical background. As such it's ideal for people who want to do more than just sightseeing.
We found the advice and recommendations were consistently reliable, especially the nuisances and annoyances in Pushkar - all of which we experienced - and the restaurant recommendations in Delhi.
