Customer Reviews

Frommer's Buenos Aires
I actually liked this guide book best of all of them. We also purchased Lonely Planet and I thought it was awful! This one was the most complete and the most accurate. We found it extremely helpful. Also, the restaurant suggestions were right on! This is the guidebook to have!

This book has a great deal of very helpful information on the sights to see. As the value of the Argentine peso has improved, the prices are somewhat higher but still excellent value. The least helpful part of the book was the dining section. We found a number of the restaurants were no longer there. However, for those that were still around, the reviews were very accurate.

Very nice guide
Very concise, but most recommendations are right on mark and everything that really matters is well covered.

I wish it would devote a bit less material to hotel reviews and add better (bigger) maps...
