5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent paired up with Lonely Planet,
By Arteest (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eyewitness Travel Guides Cuba (Paperback)
I believe they've revamped this series and the Cuba book proves especially useful. While Lonely Planet, Rough Guides, etc., are geared more toward the nuts and bolts of where to stay, how to travel, etc., this book (like the National Geo book of Cuba) goes into depth of the places/sites to visit across the country. For example, there are sections for the different areas of Havana with corresponding sites described in detail. There are floor plans of buildings, beautiful photos, synopses of historical figures, and tips for specific regions and places. This book was passed around our group several times.

4.0 out of 5 stars
a good planning tool,
By Jo Curran "travgran" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Eyewitness Travel Guides Cuba (Paperback)
This guide book (2007) is a really good planning tool for a trip to Cuba. It has lots of photos and great schematic drawings of important buildings and plazas.If you are taking a tour package where you are not having to choose accomodation yourself or deal with transport logistics, I would probably take it with me. However, for the traveller who is making all their own decisions and reservations, I would take either Lonely Planet (new edition Fall 09) or the Moon Handbook (06). using the DK just for planning then leaving it at home. DK has minimalhotel recommendations - just the chain hotels, and sketchy restaurant selections. The Moon Handbook has really extensive background information on Cuba, but weighs almost twice as much as Lonely Planet. 8 of 11 people found the following review helpful

!Cuba Rica!,
By Greer C. Ifatoki-sillah - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Eyewitness Travel Guides Cuba (Paperback)
This is agreat book if you've visted Cuba or not. The photos of historical sites are great. The historical references are varied and truthful, based on my study of Cuba. I first got this book on loan from a library; after reading it, I knew I needed my own personal copy.This would be invaluable, if you're going to visit Cuba. 8 of 11 people found the following review helpful
