This website is easy to use. The Lonely planet website supplies fantastic travel guides. Not overpriced.

They are accurate in informing you on how much things will cost and are updated yearly so you will never ...  Read the complete review

Lonely Planet began thirty years ago when a couple decided to cross Europe and Asia overland all the way to Australia.

These sections are all accessible from the homepage, by clicking on the tabs at the top with the corresponding headings. The ...  Read the complete review

Lonely Planet really is the giant among travel guides in the printed form with only a couple of close rivals, but how does the website stack up?

There is a menu bar running horizontally with the following options: Destinations, shop, thorn tree forum, hotels & hostels, bookings & services, video, bluelist, travel stories. Below this is a handy box where you can type in your destination for ...  Read the complete review
