We do get recommendations for how to improve trips as well and we do listen. Each year, we review comments and in the offseason we are always looking to make the tours better. If that means changing a hotel that has begun to deteriorate, or changing the routes because of new road construction; we listen and try to get better and better!

Want to contact us? send us an e-mail! Don't complete your travel plans without seeing our programs first! If you plan to go to France, then why not talk to a specialist!? Why us and why are we better? Knowledge - We are French, speak French, live/lived in France; we also provide extra services so that you can get all your France travel needs from one source, using our experience for a total package and not just your tour Flexibility - we can adapt tours to your needs, and we offer enough tours to meet just about everyone's needs. Lodging - an important component - always very good, and we offer several choices to help meet all budgets. Superior equipment - only for our clients; children sizes and equipment available. In 2006 we are upgrading even more in this area, our equipment is superior in every region! Trek and Eddy Merckx brands. Uniquely modified routes; upgraded hotels and choices of hotels. Our routes always minimize traffic and take charming options near the sites. It is with local expertise and support that we know these are the best rides. Local support - help always available, orientations, transfers, and other support services Extensive Pre-travel documentation designed by us to help you finalize and anticipate your tour Price - when you compare "apples to apples", there is no better value. We are not the cheapest option out there, but by comparison to luxury guided trips, our programs are incredible values offering many of the same places of lodging. And, for other companies that now offer self-guided, we know a small difference in price is not important for the superior quality we provide. Your vacation is valuable time, we won't let you risk it to save a few euros! For the most part, price is driven by hotels and the associated dining. It is easy to sell expensive luxury hotels, nobody is rarely, if ever, disappointed.

Our hotel selections for 2006 are even superior to 2005 in many cases and for the most part we focus only on 3 and 4 star hotels. Meals are typically gastronomic affairs -meaning very good quality and never the cheapest menu option. France is our savoir-faire, it is all we do! Our niche of France appeals to many travelers, and we pride ourselves in helping people discover this multi-faceted country.

I do not claim to be an expert, but I do know what I am looking for in a travel guide. The Mexico guide is a good, complete guide. Filled with information, history and beautiful pictures about almost every corner of this gorgeous country. Reading the whole book gives you a good update on your history and geography knowledge! (Something to do if you are trekking around by bus like I did!) I have always been satisfied with the LP guides. The information given is good, just what you need to get around. The only negative with this book (and the reason I give it 4 and not 5 stars) is that it was completely outdated on prices etc. Another thing (that goes for most of the travel guides) is that many of the hotels that are listed in the book has gotten so much (too much?) business so that the service is down to a minimum. This we found especially in Isla Mujeres where the price was the double of what the book said, and really lousy customer service, if any. Was this review helpful to you? ( Report this ) 67 of 73 people found the following review helpful: Still One Star after all these years , February 4, 2002 Reviewer: "cued" (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews I reviewed this book a while ago and didn't like it one bit. I just got back from three week road trip driving from Mexico City to Huatulco and back. I brought three books with me: a borrowed copy of LP Mexico, my out-dated copy of Joe Cumming's Mexico Handbook (Avalon / Moon), and Bruce Whipperman's Oaxaca Handbook (Avalon / Moon)... The trip reconfirmed what I have always said about LP: they are over-used, under-researched, and too many people rely on them as if to travel without LP is a sacrilege. Some LP titles might be very good, but LP is now a huge multi-million dollar publishing house with hundreds of titles, not all of which are of equal quality. This is not to say that Avolon's huge, 2 inch thick super Mexico handbook is great either. There is too much brevity in the Mexico Country Handbook... too much editing and cutting. For Mexico I have come to the conclusion that you cannot write a 5 star guidebook and try to cover the whole country. There is simply too much to cover in one book. I live in San Diego and so I appreciate the other reviewer's comment that not including Puerto Nuevo and Rosarito in the LP book is a MAJOR oversight. The best book by far was Bruce Whipperman's Oaxaca book: it was incredibly detailed, covered the entire state, and left practically no stone unturned. I have some criticisms of that book as well (see my review), but if you are going to Mexico, unless you plan on covering the entire country, buy Avalon's Moon Handbooks for specific regions (Oaxaca, Pacific Coast, Mexico City, etc). They are much more accurate, newer, and more complete in terms of the number of attractions covered and the details about each one. The only problem is that there are not enough regional titles to cover the entire country. good luck! Was this review helpful to you?

Lonely Planet specializes in cheap sleeps (budget hotels & travel hostels), affordable meals, and local customs. There's solid coverage of major attractions, plus off-the-beaten-path ideas for those wishing to skirt the tourist haunts. I particularly liked the vital information on getting to and from airports, city centers, bus and train stations, plus using local busses and the subway in Mexico City. The information in Lonely Planet guides is clear, concise and direct - perfect for travelers needing vital knowledge at their fingertips. This 9th (2004) edition is very good, yet has two weaknesses. First, Mexico is too big for any travel guide to list every pueblo, motel, mountain, beach and sight - even in a large (1,028 pages) yet compact book. Second, places and prices can change, so travelers need to beware. Still, this is an excellent travel guide - visit Mexico and you'll probably see others carrying this book.

Cramed with good info and plenty of solid advice. This guide is for the serious travler who wants to see the real Mexico. If you take one guide book take Lonely Planet! Also check out "A Tourist In the Yucatan" for an exciting thriller/adventure that can almost be used as a guide book for the Yucatan! Was this review helpful to you?

Great guide , June 9, 2005 Reviewer: Diego (Guadalajara, Mxico) - See all my reviews I live in Mexico, and I bought it to have a better reference while traveling in my own country. I've found places that I didn't know that existed, it has not let me down. The maps are accurate and the recommendations always are correct. The only problem I see is that the prices are not up to date, but it gives you an idea of what to expect to pay in hotels or restaurants. Was this review helpful to you?

Great recommendations, correct information, and generally helpful in choosing what to see and visit. The prices are a bit lower than I found on the trip, but not enough to make a real difference. Highly recommend this book - all the people I met who were using it were very happy. Was this review helpful to you? ( Report this ) See all 31 customer reviews...
