Lonely Planet travel guides are world known for being the ultimate travel guide.  Their shoestring and country guide books have earned a spot in most travellers luggage. I have sat in many communal kitchens where everyone has their nose in a Lonely Planet guide.  They suit not just backpackers and solo travellers but the information is relevant for families travelling too.  

Lonely planet now offer the Travel with children guide.  Lonely Planet began in the early 1970s after founders Tony and Maureen Wheeler completed an overland journey from London through Asia and on to Australia. That trip resulted in the first ever Lonely Planet guide book - Across Asia on the Cheap - and laid the foundations of the world's leading independent travel publisher.  Tony and Maureen still own the company today.  Lonely Planet is passionate about bringing people together, about understanding our world, and about people sharing experiences that enrich everyone's lives.  They strive to provide travellers everywhere with reliable, comprehensive and independent travel information.

They publish over 600 titles in English and cover every corner of the planet. Our guidebooks are published in a number of languages, including French, Italian, Spanish, Korean and Japanese.

Their country guides are now better than ever with detailed maps, accommodation to suit all budgets, a new colour highlights section and suggested itineraries.  The old favourites history, culture, evironment, food and drink have been expanded to include for detail than ever before.

If you want to ask fellow travellers if they love Lonely Planet Travel Guides then put a post on their online bulletin, Thorn Tree.  With over 5000 posts a day they keep travellers talking 24 hours a day.
