Rating:  Summary: A must have for any trip to Baja Review: This book is just great. It starts out with a good basic overview of the area. I used the book on a recent trip to La Paz. The maps are excellent and very easy to use. The prices are a bit off at times but still in the range. The hotels are broken down into price categories, that was very helpful. The book helped with getting around by bus and the restaurant sections gives good accurate descriptions. This book was just super. If your going to Baja, anywhere in Baja, get this book it is well worth the price.
Rating:  Summary: Comprehensive Guide with an Aura Review: This is an unpretentious travel book but fairly thick almost 600 pages long. I say unpretentious because unlike many other travel books it features mainly black and white photographs that give it a certain aura like an old black and white movie that seems to suit the Baja. The book is very detailed like a Michelin guide with page after page of details and information on all aspects of the Baja peninsula including roads, maps, beaches, entertainment, restaurants, hotels, etc. It is an excellent guide and makes a nice souvenir.Jack in Toronto.
Rating:  Summary: An Excellent Guide Review: We went to Cabo San Lucas and used the guide extensively for dining references. We were not disappointed. Not only were the reviews on the mark, we were able to find some wonderful restaurants off the beaten path that we would not otherwise have found. When we decided to take a day trip to Los Santos, we found the book indispensable not only for dining, but also for finding our way around the landmarks and shops. The brief histories of the various towns were interesting, as well. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in maximizing their enjoyment of Baja.
