5.0 out of 5 stars
Very thorough and well written guide,
This review is from: Moon Baja: Tijuana to Cabo San Lucas (Moon Handbooks) (Paperback)
We traveled in Baja for two weeks using this guidebook almost exclusively and were extremely pleased with it. The hotel and restaurant reviews gave an excellent feel for the atmosphere of the locations and the authors did a great job of including attractions and activities for a variety of tastes. Their sample itineraries are also very helpful and we were never disappointed when we followed their recommendations for places to stay/eat and things to do. My only suggestion for improvement (as a family traveling with a small child) would be to include more child-oriented activities such as the La Paz Serpentarium. Overall, well worth the money!

This review is from: Moon Baja: Tijuana to Cabo San Lucas (Moon Handbooks) (Paperback)
We used this book for a 2 week trip down baja last Dec. My main reason for selecting this book was that it was the latest of the 3 or so guidebooks available on the market so I figured the info will be more uptodate.
Its a good book. there are still some inaccuracies on hotels & restaurants which I found frustrating since this should be easily fixable by fact checks. It covered too much ground i.e almost every town is covered. Would have been better to cover fewer with more info. We were a family with kids so better coverage for family oriented activities would be good. More cultural.historical background would've been nice. It is a good book and I would encourage folks to get this (at least until LP updates theirs :). Its certainly well worth the money on the trip.
