Dk Eyewitness Mexico (Dk Eyewitness Travel Guide)

I bought this guide for a recent trip to Mexico that included 3 days in Mexico City and a week in the Yucatan. The book helped us plan our trip in the Yucatan, with good information on small towns and recommended sights in them . We tried a couple of the recommended restaurants, and they were good. The colorful images give you a sense of what to expect, and the walking tours with their detailed maps and directions are informative. One of the features that stood out for me are the good layout maps of the archaeological sites such as Chichen Itza and Izamal, with snippet descriptions of the key structures - by no means exhaustive, but adequate. Despite the breadth that it covers, the book often surprises you with details of specific locations, for e.g. the layout and highlights of the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City. Overall, happy with the purchase. This was the only guide I used, so I cannot speak for how it compares to other guides.

I was excited to wake up and see that this book came. I love studying different places around the world. This book is amazing. I would suggest any one to buy this book and read it.

DK Eyewitness Travel makes a great series of travel guides, including this one on Mexico. It features plenty of color pictures, maps and diagrams in a well-organized survey of Mexico's tourist spots. There is lots of practical information on what to see, and at least some offerings on where to stay and what to eat. Mexico has thousands of years of history on offer, and much natural beauty in its varied terrain, from beaches to mountains to high desert to tropical forest. The cut away diagrams of Mexico's many surviving pre-Columbian ancient monuments and colonial cathedrals were especially interesting to this reviewer. The guide includes practical tips on good eating, good shopping and where to get the best bargains. The travel advice also includes cautions on crime and on dealing with the police, which may perhaps understate the case unless the traveler is staying in a self-sufficient resort. Mexico is a large country, and one guide cannot be expected to cover all of it equally well. Recommended as an excellent introductory guide for the first time visitor.

This book has the information and details I was looking for about the sites in Mexico with good color photos

Love these guides. Out family has over 30 of them from our travels around the world. We find them to be a great mix of bright splashy photos and sage advice. This isn't the guide to get for existing on a budget or find the corner hole pub that NO ONE knows about. This is the guide to read, understand, get easy assistance and make the most of some family time or extended travel time in MEX. Bravo... as always.

My favorite line of travel books. The full-color photographs and diagrams are incredibly helpful in deciding which second-tier sites in any country are worth seeing (since the must-see items are a no-brainer...though it gives helpful tips about those also).

We do a lot of travelling in Mexico and this book is very comprehensive in attractions by region - and that means all regions - in Mexico. Indispensable, we'll bring it along on all our trips.

nice book, well worth price, excellent photos and ideas for various scenarios when visiting there!!!...will incorporate in my itineraries when visited soon (God willing!!!..Proverbs 2:21-22 Amplified Bible (AMP) For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the men of integrity, blameless and complete [in God’s sight], shall remain in it;But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the treacherous shall be rooted out of it.

Great travel book for the important stuff. Hotels and restaurants not so much, but that information is my currant on line.

Bon livre

An excellent guide, like all the DK travel guides. Great!

Looks like a great travel book. Just got it and haven't been away so I gave it a 4. Could turn into a 5 when we use it!

First time disappointment. Very little info on the area I was visiting i.e. Puerto Escondito
