I would rate this item if I had received it. Although betterworld claim to have sent it in January, it NEVER ARRIVED. Upon contacting betterworld they say it might take six week to get delivered! I wanted this travel guide before my holiday, not after!!

Pretty good single volume of Mexico highlights
21 April 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have been traveling to Mexico since studying Spanish in Cuernavaca in the mid-1980's. I just purchased this volume to have a more current guide for a trip I am making to Mexico and Guatemala this summer. I was particularly looking at Oaxaca, Cuernavaca, Palenque, and San Cristobal de las Casas. Things I really like about this guide:
1. Pretty good city maps which show bus stations, dining, lodging, banks and places of interest. Unfortunately, at my age I now find it easier to read maps with some type of magnifier, but they are helpful.
2. Not bad recommendations of things to see and do and helpful information about how to get to nearby places of interest.
3. Small tables of bus destinations from major cities giving approximate cost, travel time and some idea of the number of daily departures.
4. Occasional data on such things a local bus rutas for getting around a city -- particularly liked the ruta for getting to the Casino de la Selva bus station in Cuernavaca for picking up a direct bus to the Mexico city airport. I may use a taxi, but it is nice to know how to do it by the city bus.
The descriptions of places I have been look pretty well written and that gives me some confidence that the locations I have not yet visited are equally well-described.
My favorite places in Mexico include Guanajuato, Mexico City, Cuernavaca, Morelia, Patzcuaro, Palenque, San Cristobal de las Casas, Puebla, Guadalajara and environs and Oaxaca. The information for those areas looks solid.
I have many Mexico guidebooks and this one is perhaps the best I have used to date.

It's a Thick One
7 May 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this book to read up on whats new in Mexico... i think its a great book. You would be pretty lucky to find a travel book that covers "everything" you like to do and see while traveling. I found most of it to be pretty comical as if Bourdain had a hand in this book. This is one of the better travel books i own. Has everything in it so you can make some pretty good decisions about where your gonna stay, play, and eat. All the great stuff you expect from Lonely Planet in it. A+

What a joy to travel with this guide book
26 Dec 2008
Format:Paperback
Just came back from three weeks in the Western Central Highlands of Mexico. My first impression, what a joy to travel with this guide book. As an experienced budget traveler, I look for the following in guide books (1) detail city maps, (2) budget hotel listings, (3) detail information on getting from the bus station to the interesting part of town. After all, it's easy to arrive in a bus station and hail a cab; it takes a little more effort to take public transportation. This guide gave me the information needed to do this, plus the money saved will easily pay for this book and heighten your travel experience.
I look at this book like a good friend giving me advice on the best places to go and the experiences not to miss. Kudos to the "Highlights" that LP has incorporated into each travel section, it made me read those sections more thoroughly. In conclusion, the writing is fresh and full of emotion along with the accurate travel details listed above made this the best Mexican travel book I've ever used.
