Customer Reviews

same old - same old
There was nothing "new" or updated in this book. I have read other (older) tour guides on this same destination with better information.
I prefer Frommers Guide Books. I purchased this one thinking there would be more current information, but, it was the same old thing re-hashed.

Fodor's Panama, 1st Edition
So far it has been beneficial in planning a trip to Panama. Some areas information is not as detailed as I would have liked, but still informative.

Worst travel guide I've ever bought
This is the worst travel guide I have ever purchased. Most of the information is general, there is little useful advice, and it is not helpful for planning a trip. As such, I rate it "worthless" I have found better information on the internet for free.
