Not your typical guide book, Chock full of real world information, This is absolutely the best travel guide I've ever come across, Going to Mexico You must read this book! The best travel guide I have read to date.
You need this book if you are going to Mexico, Not really a travel book, but invaluable when planning travel through Mexico, Spot on. A sort for howto guide for US hippies taking road trips into Mexico, full of the author's anecdotes.
Not a replacement to Lonely Planet / Let's Go / Rough Guide type books which list specific places, but an essential supplement.
As entertaining as it is useful, read it even if you're not planning a trip and curious what it might be like to be a foreigner wandering around Mexico.
This is the best travel book I have ever read, Truly delightful. It is about travel philosophy, and really has little to say about the traditional travelbook staples like sights to see or restaurants to visit.


I like to think of the authors as my imaginary hippy grandparents who returned from their long rambling Mexican travels to teach me on how to live life well.
Carl Franz obviously knows Mexico, His experience was very different than mine seeing as I live in the city, I did find many parts of this book helpful, informative, and entertaining, If you plan on doing any rural traveling through Mexico this is your book, If you are visiting cities or big tourist sites you might do better with a regular guidebook.
What a wonderful read! My roomate and I were musing over the possibility of travelling through Mexico for the winter.
It may have been nothing more than a day dream if this book hadn't landed in our hands.
This ecclectic compilation of travel stories inspired us to take our life in our own hands and venture south of the border.
Once we shared plans with our family and friends we were soon bombarded with precautions everyone seemed to think that Mexico was a land of lawlessness and terror.
This book served as a reminder that people are good and that there's plenty to be seen on the lesser travelled roads.
In addition to its charming tales, this book offers valuable advice to the novice traveller, A delightful, laughoutloud read, I recommend it to all, The was really a fun read, a book I can't put down, and one who tells it like it is.
Still the best travel guide ever written for those who want to see the real Mexico, You won't find

any fivestar Mayan Riviera hotel recommendations in here, but lots of practical, wise, essential advice and survival skills for traveling in this enchanting and mysterious country.
Written by some old hippies who know whereof they speak, I am learning spanish now in hopes to take a trip to Mexico, I hope I can use the information in this book before it expires, So, he totally overromanticizes Mexico and Mexicans, reducing them to quaint little brown people frolicking about an enchanted land of wonder.
White privilege aside though, there really is some great advice and funny stuff in here, It's a travel book that you can read like a series of magazine features,

We have used both his Mexico books as a reference for our trips to Mexico.
The first trip was in/to Los cabos in Baja, We used the recipes, the side trips and his knowledge of the culture and the people, Second trip a couple of years ago we went to central Mexico and saw places the tourists don't see.
A must read before your trip, This old hippy guide book to Mexico is still well worth reading even if the hippies concerned are well and truly old now and thes are long gone.
Now in itsth edition, this guide covers social and cultural topics seldom dealt with in other books.
Personal anecdotes are the best part, Worth reading. This is a really fun read I wish there were more travel guides like this, It really gives you a sense of the place, This book is a must read if you are going to Mexico, and would be fun just to read to learn about Mexico Very useful.
I can be a very nervous traveler, This book is not a travel guide for Mexico in the usual sense it doesn't describe destinations or list hotels and restaurants.
It gives practical advice on how to deal with crossing the border what documents you'll need, etc.
and how to get along while in Mexico, As I drive to and within Mexico, I'm always worried about border crossings, military checkpoints, car accidents, or encounters with the policia or federales.
This book ALWAYS puts my mind at ease and makes me feel confident about handling myself in any situation.
If you're at all unsure of yourself traveling to Mexico, I highly recommend this book, Mexico is a really beautiful, fun country to visit! Part "Steal This Book", part Lonely Planet guidebook, "The People's Guide to Mexico" is a gas.
Notwithstanding theedition date, the book reads like it's straight out of, Frommer's or Fodor's it's not, But it ain't supposed to be, It is a great look at everyday Mexican culture and custom, covering everything from "la mordida" to renting a burnedout shack on the beach.
The authors' anecdotes, wild travel tales, illustrations, and noBS advice and commentary are right on, This is a truly excellent book, It's written by folks who have been traveling in Mexico for overyears, It is unlike any other guidebook that I have seen more detail about how to explore this country and what you need to know along the way and very, very few hotel recommendations.
It is a potent combination that puts this book head and shoulders above the competition, In fact, this book sets the bar so high that it should probably be in a class by itself.
A must have for anyone who is going to Mexico and wants to get off the beaten path and out of the tourist traps of places like Cancun.
They cover every question you could come up with, from their own experience, .
