Customer Reviews

Book came out in Oct 2007, half these reviews (specifically the bad ones) were written before that!

Just wanted to point that out! Obviously the reviews must be talking about previous editions. The maps, locations and reviews are accurate in this edition.

Informative

This is a fantastic book which lacks no info. I will be traveling to Belize soon and am required to know everything from tourism, maps, history, customs and anything else you can think of. This has been very helpful in giving me the info that I require.

Great Book

We found this guide very helpful in planning our trip, especially in finding a few off the beaten path spots.

The "Belize Bible" is a Better Title

I got this book on a reccomendation from the Toucan Trail, A budget traveler's online guide to Belize. I have to say that this is the most comprehensive guide for vacationers that I have ever seen. I had to wait a while for the most receent edition, but it was worth it. Topics that hadn't even occured to me to research are included here (thank gawd!). The book even covers traveling into Guatemala to vist the ruins at Tikal. If you only buy one guide for your trip to Belize, this should be the one.

very handy

this book did cover low bidget places and was very handy. it also covered more upscale loactions but did indicate that quite well. (we visited Belize 10/06). the prices were pretty accurate and the reviews as well. one of our favorite places in san pedro was a 'hole in the wall' almost literally that this book recomended. it cost about $1 american for 2 of us to have breafast (home made belizian style breakfast tacos) and we would get a slice of homemade cake to take with us for lunch. we also stayed at rubies and breakfasted there often. rubies was definetly the best stay for the money. we also used this book in san ignacio and found it extremely helpful and again in belize city (belmead i think). it told us everything we needed to know. i higly recomend this book for any savy low budget traveler.
