Insight Guides Ecuador & Galapagos (Travel Guide with Free eBook) (Insight Guides (272)) Paperback – May 2, 2016

Lots of pretty pictures but if you want to find a restaurant or hotel forget it. Leave this at home. Great background info, lots of history, maybe too much. Great travel descriptions to places of interest.

This book provided a unique perspective on Ecuador.The editor's choice on the best of Ecuador was extremely informative _ in fact it helped organize the trip. The photography was outstanding and the historical perspective meaningful. Good purchase...

Insight guides are a great resource but sometimes the information is out of date. It is hard to know when this was last updated since some references in it to 2012 or 1023.Shipping soft cover books in oversize bags is not good since the corners were bent.

Very informative from history of country to present day. Makes me want to spend more days here than what I will have the chance to do; going on to the Galapagos on Cruise which is also exciting.

Excellent guide. Information, maps, restaurants, hotels, tours, dangers, history, culture.....its all there. Beautiful pictures.

A really good, compact guide book.

A gift for a friend

I felt like I was reading an encyclopedia, not a travel guide. The app is worthless, nothing but ads. Photos dated.

Use for travel informationDisappointed about minimal information about Galapagos and it's wildlife

Prompt and as expected.

If you want a travel guide, DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK. It is 326 heavy pages of pretty photos and blurbs. It has no information on hotels and restaurants, or detailed internal travel, the only reason to have a guide book when you're travelling. Once you buy it you then open it to find this out, and that that information is only available in an app. For those of us who don't use apps, it would be important to know this up front so we could buy another guide. I have just wasted my time waiting for this to arrive, as well as my money, and now have to go find another guide book.
