Customer Reviews

Fantastic
We are planning a fly-drive trip to the USA and we have been looking for information/things to do in places.We initially looked at the Foders books but then stumbled across this book. What a fantastic informative book, the only problem with having this book is we need to book a longer holiday !!!
It is excellent value for money and a must have for fly-drive touring of the USA.

Ace - buy it
The Lonely Planet guides are always, I find, so reliable. (This being said, I've only bought them USA destinations.) Now that I'm planning a four week road trip next year, I had to buy this.

Each state has it's own guide, with the typical list of recommended sites, places to eat and of course accommodation for varied budgets.

There's a hand full of road trip recommendations... all very tempting. This is great if you really don't know where to start. There's also the usual guide about how to to get about, car rental, flights, taxis, etc - essential for your planning.

I've booked up about half my trip already, and most of that has been done after reading sections of this book.
It's incredibly helpful, and I whole-heartedly recommend it. (If for some reason it all goes wrong, though, I'll be back on here telling you otherwise!)

Lonely Planet for USA backpackers
This Lonely Planet book is very complete. Probably everything you need to know you can find inside. Definitely a great start up for my trip.
On the other hand, the book is quite heavy and not so pleasant to carry it around while sightseeing.
Would recommend for anyone wanting to backpack anywhere in the US.
