    Don't leave home without it!

    Just back from three weeks in the Yucatan (and I had a wonderful time!), and found this to be a reliable guide. The rating system is dependable, the maps helpful, and for the most part the info is up to date. I will say this, you might concidering more than one guide book as all of them seem to have some defficincies. This would be most important for the independent travler and the travler who is planning to get away from the major resorts. You might also consider buying good maps. This book, and "A Tourist In The Yucatan" (Great thriller!) made my vacation truely unforgettable!

    YUCATAN TRIP

    this was the best travel guide for last December's YUCATAN trip... went to CANCUN and CHICHEN ITZA...

    plan on going back next winter for a cross Yucatan bus tour from Mexico City to Cancun including the MONARCH BUTTERFLY PRESERVE...

    this has been the best source for initial research and follow up... i have identified the MAYAN SITES i want to see... planned times... budget and finished up with a trip of a life time

    so check it out knowing that someone real used it and is using it again

    do the research... look at the maps... look at the photos

    have lots of fun planning and traveling... see you on the beach next winter
