Fodor's Guatemala, 1st Edition (Fodor's Gold Guides) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We usually go with Lonely Planet guides (used them in India, Thailand and Japan so far) but the one for Guatemala got not so good reviews so we decided to try this one.
big mistake.
we planned our trip based on advice from friends that visited Guatemala and were counting on the guidebook for the little things, like places to eat, sleep, what to see and how to get there.
throughout the trip we got the feeling that the writers just chose the first place they say off the bus station and reviewed it. they never ventured far from the center to show you places or things that are less known.
the thing all places in this book have in common is the average high price.
all the reviewed restaurants, hotels and such were of the highest prices we could find, and usually unjustified.
we were able to find better accommodation and food for sometimes half the price!
this book might be more suitable for people who are limited in time, like to see the main tourist attractions when they travel and dont really care to spend a little more $ to stay close to the center and be comfortable.
if you like to explore, see things that not everyone see, eat with the locals in the market, meet interesting people - skip this book.
