4.0 out of 5 stars Incredibly useful travel guide, December 10, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Rough Guide to Goa, 3rd Edition (Goa (Rough Guides), 3rd Edition) (Paperback)

This little book is probably the best of it's kind and is invaluable for the budget travellor. It contains accurate descriptions of accomodation and restaurants in different price ranges. My only comment is that the writer is a little harsh on Calangute, yes it's a busy, bustling tourist town - but I didn't see 'heaps of garbage' and the town starting to 'stew in it's juices'. However generally I loved this little book, the photos were great and I would have been lost without it!
