Beautiful & Informative! June 25, 2006
W. Laszlo (Indonesia)
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
This book contains excellent background information and descriptions of obscure attractions written by a team of expert authors along with photos of stunnning quality.
Practical information is found separately in the back of the book, and is somewhat dated. However, with Bali well set-up for tourism, you will easily find accomodation/transport of your choice anyway.
Highly recommended, even as a 2nd guidebook if you already have another guide stronger on practical details like Lonely Planet or Rough Guide.
The best guide on culture and history June 6, 2006
Anna Fastenko (San Jose, CA USA)
11 out of 11 found this review helpful
I think this is an exceptionally good quality guide book for those who travel to Bali not just to lie on a beach or surf, but also for its amazing cultural and historical heritage, where every village and temple have their own story. The closest I can compare it with is Eyewitness Guide on Bali, but there is definitely more information in this guide. There is also an abundance of beautific pictures but they don't take full pages so you get much more text not sacrificing the aesthetics. This is a book for people who want to feel in a new place not like stupid foreigners but rather informed observers, understanding their performances, rituals, lifestyle, etc. You'll know exactly what village or place you want to stay in and why.
For practicalities you'll have to get Lonely Planet or Rough Guide though.
