2.0 out of 5 stars Attractive pix, poor maps, some dated material, August 24, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Buenos Aires (Insight Guide Buenos Aires) (Paperback)
I was disappointed in this guide. Although some of the photography was vivid, there was a surprising lack of detailed maps of Buenos Aires (in marked contrast to what might be found in "Eyewitness" guides, for example). I also thought it was strange that the "1998 reprinting of the 1996 edition" should note in the "Getting There/By Air" section (page 243): "From New York, fly EASTERN"! (Eastern Airlines hasn't flown anywhere for years!)

I also felt the book was poorly organized, and that it was a challenge to find specific information quickly.

5.0 out of 5 stars A City Uncovered, January 19, 2000
By 
Peter R. Huybrechts (Burlington, Connecticut) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Buenos Aires (Insight Guide Buenos Aires) (Paperback)
Although this book is not the best source of restaurants, hotels, etc. it offers a panorama of the great city of Buenos Aires. I am returning to B.A. next month and I reread this guide in anticipation of my return. Buy a traditional tourist guide to supplement this book, however, you will better anticipate your overall experience with this beautiful synopsis of the life of this great city. Terrific reading on the long flight to "Bueno". Not your daily tour guide but a geat insight into the beauty and wonderful people that you are about to encounter. After my first trip, I reread this book and had fond memories of my experiences. A great addition to a travel library. PS. Quality photography and printing!

1.0 out of 5 stars don't bother to read this, April 20, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Buenos Aires (Insight Guide Buenos Aires) (Paperback)
Why would anyone bother to read this when there is the lonely planet guide available? This is in my opinion a vastly inferior guide when compared not just to lonely planet but to many of the others available, it lacks organisation and detail.
