4.0 out of 5 stars Well organized, good pictures, excellent cultural info, February 8, 2000

This review is from: Israel (Insight Guide Israel) (Paperback)
I purchased both the Lonely Planet Guide and the Insight Guide for Israel. Both are excellent resources, but the Insight Guide has better pictures and their hotel/restaurant choices are more targeted at mid-range travellers (the Lonely Planet Guides typically address themselves to budget travellers a bit more).

I really enjoyed the rich color pictures and the style of writing, but the Insight Guide definitely comes up short in some critical areas: its hotel and restaurant listings are relatively sparse, it doesn't provide any information on transportation between the various sights or on when/how to see them, and is missing suggested iteneraries, which I find really helpful.

All in all, I'd rate this book as worth your money, but buy the Lonely Planet Guide, too. If you only buy one guide, get the LPG instead of this book.
