Explorer's Guide Mexico City, Puebla & Cuernavaca: A Great Destination (Explorer's Great Destinations) Paperback – December 7, 2009

There are not many travel books on Puebla so I was very excited to find this one! I will be travelling there in a few months to visit my in-laws and really wanted a book about living in Puebla - not a book with tourist attractions. This book fit the bill. It is an older publication but it has given me alot of information to help me plan my visit to Puebla. According to my in-laws, most of the information I have told them from the book is correct.

This guide has a wealth of info on hotels, restaurants and sights in the three cities in Central Mexico covered therein (Mexico City, Puebla, and Cuernavaca). Having just returned from all three cities (and having relied to a large extent on the author's suggestions for these cities), I would put this guide right next to the Michelin Green Guide as an essential item to consult and take along for a trip to this part of Mexico. Unlike many, this guide did not let us down in any respect. Everything the author said seemed right on target as far as our experience provided a "test." Well worth the price.

it's nice to have a travel description of a small area in Mexico. It is such a big country thatan all inclusive book doesn't cut it. This is the only book I have found for Puebla and Cuernavaca.Unfortunately, it is out of date.

The guide book came in handy in Puebla. It would be even better if it were updated a bit more frequently. Inspite of being a bit dated, it was very useful to have around.

The guide is quite personal and more like a trip report of the authors experiences. For a guide focused on only three areas it was lacking in detail. There are much better options out there

This book was very useful for our recent visit to Puebla and Mexico City. We used it mostly for Puebla, because there aren't many travel books for that city. It was invaluable for helping us plan our three days in Puebla. It was also helpful for Mexico City, but we used the Rough Guide more there.

Pretty good. Trip advisor is often more accurate

This was the only English guide we could find for Puebla and Cuernavaca, even though it's a bit older. It's well organized and we used it extensively on our vacation.

Like many guide books for Mexico I feel them quite lacking and d not offer the detail or inside knowledge I crave. This could have been written by someone who has only been to the region once and done lots of internet research.
