1.0 out of 5 stars Do not buy this book Jun 3 2011
By antarctica - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I have traveled to six continents and used a variety of guidebooks for each trip. Never have I encountered a book that was so inaccurate in simple information (facts like when the rainy season is) and grossly bombastic (singing praises of mundane structures). The worst part of my trip was getting robbed twice, both times in broad daylight and both times in places that the book highly recommended (walking tour of Quito). The book failed to warn travelers of common scams (evidently, it is so common for tourists to get feces thrown on them as a distraction tactic that there is a checkbox for it on police report forms). The police regularly hand out slips of paper with a list of common scams. When speaking with my tour guide the day after getting robbed, he shook his head and said that there are several places he would definitely avoid and the "walking tour" recommended in my Lonely Planet book covers some of those dangerous areas. The authors did not do diligence in their research.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good guidebook July 10 2010
By Jenfromalaska - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I spent two months in Ecuador (including about a month in Cuenca) with this guidebook and was overall pretty satisfied with it. In general, the hotel recommendations were good, and there was good information about interesting things to see and do. Even places that aren't super touristy, I was generally impressed with its coverage. It failed to note several interesting festivals that I attended, so I think that coverage of events could probably be improved. On the whole a solid four stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Indispensible travel guide Jun 25 2010
By S. Crawford - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Downloaded the Kindle version of this book a week before leaving for Ecuador and read it cover to cover before arriving in Quito. It was absolutely indispensible! We used it to guide our choices on Hostels, restaurants, the best modes of transportation and how and where to arrange for them, which coastal cities to visit and skip and must-see attractions. It was right on the money with it's hostel recommendations (although some of the quoted prices had changed, but that's to be expected) and the places we visited all lived up to their Lonely Planet reputation. My friends on this trip all agreed that this guide helped us get the most value and enjoyment out of our trip to coastal Ecuador, Quito and Guayaquil.
