Book Reviews of Vietnam, 4th (Footprint - Travel Guides)
Book Review: Rough Guide better than Lonely Planet, Footprint
Summary: 3 Stars
Just came back from a three week trip to Vietnam with three books: the Lonely Planet, the Rough Guide, and Footprint Handbook. The Rough Guide is the best guidebook around for the country. It is superior to the Lonely Planet guide in the breadth and depth of coverage and especially its accuracy. I liked LP for other countries but here they did a very poor job.
I have not found even one instance where Lonely Planet provided information that Rough did not have. If you are traveling to the north, you may want to consider reading Footprint before you leave -- it has some interesting information.
Also, all hotels -- even the top ones -- can be negotiated down in price. Send them an e-mail and ask for special rates, corporate rates, etc. You can stay at the Metropole in Hanoi for less than half their rack rate.
Summary of Vietnam, 4th (Footprint - Travel Guides)
From watery plains to mountain scenery and magical deserted beaches. War wounds and historical symbolism. Crossing the Mekong Delta and trekking opportunities in Northern Vietnam. All you need to know about navigating communist bureaucracy with a sense of humour. Highly regarded war history and background section
