5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Reading, 5 Nov 2002

By	J. Hughes "Fun Guy" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you're thinking of going, buy it. It was our bible when we were there... This does everything a good guide book should do: it provides loads of really practical advice on accommodation, dining out, local festivals, etc. and, most importantly, it conveys a real sense of enthusiasm about the place which encourages you to explore and experience as much as possible. The authors use phrases such as 'insanely pretty' to describe places which really do live up to their descriptions. It's not written in that irritating "if it's for tourists it's tat" condescending manner that's evident in some guide books -- the book abounds with nicely balanced reviews, accurate descriptions, and interesting incidental stuff. It's well laid out and worth every penny.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is the only definitive guide to these islands, 28 May 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Trinidad and Tobago: The Rough Guide (Rough Guides) (Paperback)

The Rough Guide to Trinidad and Tobago is by far the most informative and absorbing guide to these islands. There are lots of meaty facts here about what to expect when visiting a location which for many people will be far from anything they have experienced via the usual package holiday breaks. One needs to be well informed prior to take off in order to get the most of your vacation, and together the authors have made sure that the information you'll need is there, whether you are a young energetic eco-traveller keen to explore one of the world's oldest rainforests, or a sun worshipping retiree, heading for the luxuriant options of spa and golf courses under the tropical sun. Quite simply, you would be mad not to read this book if you are planning a trip to Trinidad and Tobago. My only criticism is a small one. The photographic content is disappointing. But the words bring the islands to life and more than make up for that.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tobago section, 3 Nov 2006

By	David Bayliss "Dave Bayliss" (Lancashire UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Rough Guide to Trinidad and Tobago (Rough Guide Travel Guides) (Paperback)

Only 80 pages, and some references were out of date (ie. cafes no longer there) but well worth the money. But do not bother with the map for Tobago, it is small and you will pick up a much better one (free) at the airport.

Overall the book is good but the section on Tobago is quite small. Also, the map of the Crown Point area of Tobago is completely inaccurate, so much so that it would be better... Read more
