Straight forward directory., August 27, 2005
This review is from: The insider's guide to San Miguel (Paperback)
If you are looking for a slick, glossy paged guide with pretty pictures, professional layout, and flowery descriptions, then this book is *not* for you. What you will get is a directory of hotels, B&Bs, museums, galleries, stores, restaurants, schools, etc. with notes from the author on each item. Some things, such as hotels, are grouped by cost and rating, others are not. It makes a good reference book.

DON'T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT !, May 12, 2008
This review is from: The insider's guide to San Miguel (Paperback)
This is without a doubt one of the finest, most thorough and reliable city guides we've ever had the pleasure of using. And, believe me, we've relied upon quite a few. Some of them made us wonder if the writer had ever eaten in the restaurant he recommended, others were adequate, and many quite good. The Insider's Guide To San Miguel is tops!
Archie Dean, a resident of San Miguel, knows his city like the palm of his hand, the sights, sounds, comfortable lodgings, and where to find the most fabulous food. It's guide for those staying a few days, a few weeks or a few months as it covers every requirement from apartments to doctors to supermarkets to galleries to Spanish schools.
Thoughtfully arranged so your need or interest is easy to find, each listing is succinctly and clearly described. Also included is a can't-get-around- San Miguel- without-it map that is indispensable. Plus sections are devoted to nearby Dolores Hidalgo and Guanajuato.
We heartily recommend a visit to San Miguel as it is a charming community filled with beautiful architecture and friendly people. But, don't go without The Insider's Guide!

the Insiders Guide to San Miguel, January 17, 2006
This review is from: The insider's guide to San Miguel (Paperback)
Well written, well organized and several people I know who live in Sam Miguel think it is the best of the guides. So far I agree.
