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.

I haven't used one of these things since they were paper and still largely inaccurate--that poor taxi driver in… This thing, however, is both inaccessible and unnavigable: a guide to reading the guide and no table of contents. Instead, you click one of three options and it zaps you to another unnavigable chunk of the book. It's a bit like being Jonathan Harker, lumbering around on a tortuous mountain path in the middle of the night while your driver continually stops to tend mysterious blue flames.

I just finished a three week trip in Romania and Bulgaria and used the ebook of this while planning the trip and while travelling. It had enough information to be able to adequately plan where to go and roughly how to get between places. I used a few of the sleeping and food recommendations but not a ton. The information provided about sights is somewhat lacking, especially for a place where there often isn't a lot of English signage; it would have been nice if the guidebook was able to give more information. The overviews about each country were helpful.

Very disorganized. For example, when it has side bars describing “must sees” such as a mountain range to visit, it doesn’t give logistical info on the best place to start or possible itineraries. In this day and age where so much info is available online for hotels, I think the space in the boom would be better used talking about activities and tricks and tips. Not worth carrying the paper version on my trip.

Makes me more ready for my upcoming trip here - it is a very neat compilation of all the things to do in these regions. I bookmarked several to try while I am there!

Not sure how the Bulgarian information is but this is quite frankly the worst (Lonely Planet) travel guide I've ever used. We used this for Romania as we didn't have access to the internet, so were solely dependent on this for travel information (next to a road map). I don't see myself as a jaded or spoiled traveller, and I have every understanding for a country in which tourism is only just developing but the authors consistently exaggerate how wonderful everything is, from excursions to restaurants. Depending on the continent, most LPs include camping info, but this was so neglected that we found ourselves in a hotel on occasion (only to discover later that campsites were in the area). I did like how the authors mentioned things for children.

I bought this before going to Bucharest for work. All I can say is that on reading it, I now want to visit the rest of Romania and to give Bulgaria a try too. Interesting to read the terrible recent history of Romania - a good honest no frills guide.

I used to love these guides, and I would still like to have one before I visit a new country, however I think their relevance is starting to decay with the many apps and resources you can get with a good phone and good internet. I realize that the parts about culture and history of the country are getting smaller, which is a shame because I find it very interesting. I wonder what new direction these books can take with the emergence of smartphones and fast internet.
