Lonely Planet New Zealand: Perfect for exploring top sights and taking roads less travelled (Travel Guide) Paperback – Folded Map, 15 Sept. 2023

Didn’t disappoint - usual quality from insightful writers. Wish I’d studied hard before my trip.

Really useful when planning our trip

Bought as a small gift to the grandparents for their big holiday this year, they loved it!! Means they won’t miss any highlights when travelling around New Zealand.

Informative and great photos

It's clumsy to use because it's not in sequence. I bought the 'Rough Guide' some years back and thought it was a better

I only buy LP that for many years provided such much info on my destinations. Helpful tips and do's & dont's. So when my youngest decided after uni he was off to travel, one being NZ i knew the best book. Hopefully it proves me right. A thick book but wont take up alot of room.

I've got Lonely Planets dating back years - I am in my 70th year and was delighted to see that there was a brand new edition which I purchased for a 2 months independent trip round New Zealand which we've just completed.The book helped me have an overview and with my initial planning, it provided some bits of useful information while we were away but it really is a poor imitation of what one expects from a Lonely Planet guide. It's very lazily put together, there are several obvious inaccuracies and, as other reviewers have said, gone are the wonderful listings of places to stay and eat, gone are the detailed maps, gone is the real insight!I know the argument will be that everything of that sort is available online and who needs a map when we've got Google maps but in my view there remains a place for immersive, detailed information such as was the LP format as recently, for example, as the Iceland book I used for a holiday last June.We're planning Chile next. I shall read the reviews carefully before I buy the accompanying Lonely Planet. Let's hope editorial decision makers read reviews.
