Book Description

Rough Guide Travel Guides June 18, 2007

The Rough Guide to the USA is your definitive state-by-state guidebook to this vast and fascinating country. From a baseball game in Chicago and Yellowstone’s National Park to the towering Washington Monument and the astonishing southwest desert, the full-colour introduction highlights all the ‘things-not-to-miss’. There are insider reviews of all the best places to stay, eat and drink, both on and off the beaten track, with the new ‘Author’s Pick’ feature highlighting the very best options. There is plenty of expert advice on a multitude of activities, from hiking in the Grand Canyon to experiencing New York Coty nightlife. The guide takes a detailed look at the country’s history, culture and people and comes complete with maps and plans for every region, state and major city.

The Rough Guide to the USA is like having a local friend plan your trip!

This review is from: The Rough Guide to the USA 8 (Rough Guide Travel Guides) (Paperback)
I'm sold on Rough Guides. This book is like having a history book to go along with info about so many popular and not so popular places that after reading the description about them, you want to visit. Every time I open it, I learn something new and it makes me want to visit so many places in the USA.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this guide, June 9, 2009
This review is from: The Rough Guide to the USA 8 (Rough Guide Travel Guides) (Paperback)
I love this guide, I have the one for Canada and now got the one for the USA. It has heaps of useful information and since it shows the whole country, it has to be very summarized and straight to the point, and I like that because I don't have to read 100 pages for one city. It gives precious information for places to stay, to eat, how to get there, how much things cost and so on (although some prices are outdated already).

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Rough Guide to the USA 8 (Rough Guide Travel Guides) (Paperback)
I feel like this book was a little bit a waste of money. It was pretty compact, and had a overview of almost every major area (which is what I was looking for) including a few hotels and restaraunts. However, in one instance it was MAJORLY wrong. We went to monumnet valley in arizona/utah. It highly recommended an navajo led back-country jeep tour (sounds pretty cool) for just $25 a person. We get there and there are NO back country tours. It takes you on a dirt road which you can drive yourself, and it was not a jeep. It was a bus with the windows knocked out of it. AND, to top it off, it was $60, not $25! After that I didn't really use it because I didn't feel like I could trust the book.
