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.

Can’t rate this highly enough, so much insight it completely changed our South America trip. Great info on the history of places too which I didn’t expect. So nice to just use a book instead of our phones. We won’t travel without one in any country again.

good basic overview of all countries. Good for overall guidance but obviously lacks any detailed insights beyond d the clearly beaten path

I can't speak for personal experience other than Cartagena and Panama Canal but loving what seems to be the perfect guide for those wanting to travel to Buenos Aires and the Falklands and we do!
