5.0 out of 5 stars Very thorough and well written guide, January 23, 2008

By	Corinne Mckay - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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!

4.0 out of 5 stars Moon Baja: Tijuana to Cabo, February 8, 2008

By	Theresa P. Woolbright "terri woolbright" (mississippi) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Excellent travel guide. Liked the layout and detail sites were given. Lots of historical information which I liked. My only problem was that the book arrived after we had left for the vacation! I did enjoy it when I returned because I could find no adequate guide while there. Therefore I read about sites we visited after we returned!!
