Customer Reviews

Full of useful information and spot-on reviews

We used this rough guide as our only travel book to make our way through Delhi and the rest of the golden triangle, and it was really indispensable for us as first-time travelers to India. We used a lot of the hotel and restaurant recommendations, and found their reviews of these places to be pretty much spot-on for both the good and bad. The train and bus schedules (and contact info) were up-to-date, and we also appreciated that the book alerts you to various scams and tout tactics used in the different cities...let us know what we were in for!

Great Guide

I used this guide during a 3 week trip to Rajasthan Delhi and Agra in Nov/Dec 2007. It was great, very useful, and better than the Lonely Planet guide. I am a planet fan, but this guide was well done.

Comprehensive

Recommend if this book covers your trip/travel area- good maps, some pictures and up to date reccs; used this instead of LP and was pleased

Excellent tour guide for Rajasthan, Delhi, and Agra

I took this tour guide with me on a two week trip to India during which I visited Mumbai, Delhi, Jodhpur, Jaipur, and Agra. I also took the Lonely Planet Rajasthan tour guide and the Fodor's India tour guide. I found this Rough Guide the most useful one of them once I got to Delhi. I mainly used the Fodor's book for Mumbai and for hotel and restaurant recommendations during my whole trip. (Fodor's is better than the other two for higher end hotels and restaurants.) There was nothing really wrong with the Lonely Planet guide, but I found the descriptions in the Rough Guide much more detailed. I also found the Rough Guide more visually appealing with its greater use of color. The Rough Guide is the one I always took with me when I left one or both of the others in my hotel room.
