About the author

OUR STORY
A beat-up old car, a few dollars in the pocket and a sense of adventure. In 1972 that’s all Tony and Maureen Wheeler needed for the trip of a lifetime – across Europe and Asia overland to Australia. It took several months, and at the end – broke but inspired – they sat at their kitchen table writing and stapling together their first travel guide, Across Asia on the Cheap. Within a week they’d sold 1500 copies and Lonely Planet was born. One hundred million guidebooks later, Lonely Planet is the world’s leading travel guide publisher with content to almost every destination on the planet.

Reviews

I read about the history, the people, and the wines

[Martin Witchard]

In preparation for next year's trip to Europe this has appeared on my list of books. Like all LP guides it's informative and, at times, quirky. Which baths should I visit in Budapest? Is Lake Balaton worth a visit? Yes, these questions and more are being answered as I work my way through this tome.

[Jaroslav Tuček · Rating 3 out of 5]

Spent a couple of months in Hungary in 2013 and found the guide quite helpful. However, as usual for Lonely Planet, a ton of fluff has been put in such as restaurant lists - what kind of a tourist uses this? Surely the authors could have found something better to use the space for...

This is the worst LP ever written. As a longtime LP user, I've never gone anywhere without one. However, when next you find yourself in Hungary, I'd recommend pretty much anything else.
