About the author

OUR STORY
A beat-up old car, a few dollars in the pocket and a sense of adventure. In 1972 that’s all Tony and Maureen Wheeler needed for the trip of a lifetime – across Europe and Asia overland to Australia. It took several months, and at the end – broke but inspired – they sat at their kitchen table writing and stapling together their first travel guide, Across Asia on the Cheap. Within a week they’d sold 1500 copies and Lonely Planet was born. One hundred million guidebooks later, Lonely Planet is the world’s leading travel guide publisher with content to almost every destination on the planet.

Reviews

[Janelle DeWitt]

Great book to read before travelling there! Lots of tips and suggestions on where to go/stay. Also gives a lot of history on the country and its culture. Love reading lonely planet books before heading to my destination.

I like my Lonely Planet guides, and this is no exception. Jamaica is a small island, so it covers pretty much all there is to offer, and it gave a really good expectation before going there. If you're familiar with Lonely Planet, you know.

[Patricia]

I read these like other people do novels. Traveling is impossible right now and in real life pretty stressful for me, but reading about it satisfies that desire somewhat. Plus no jet lag lol

[Earl Truss]

Lots of good information about visiting Jamaica.

[Shavon]

One of the few lonely planet books that has something for every price point. I normally don’t like their books because they tend to be written for an audience traveling on a shoestring budget. (I abhor low budget travel.) But this book contains recommendations for travelers looking for an authentic, adventurous, non-all inclusive experience as well as those who just want to rest and eat somewhere warm.

Reading this in preperation for my trip to the west coast of Jamaica in May. I love that Lonely Planet steers clear of all-inclusive type travel, though I'm wishing this volume had more information on transportation from Hanover and Westmoreland to Saint Elizabeth.

to old. a lot has changed since 2006. I like the format though, handy carry size.

[Rodney Hatch]

The next best thing to being there. The best thing to prep for being there. InI going there in three weeks. Raspect

[Meagan]

As with all Lonely Planet guides, this book is informative, helpful, honest, and witty. I recommend using Lonely Planet guides anytime you're traveling somewhere new.

[Annalisa]

Personally, I prefer when the "What you need to know about this place" section comes at the beginning rather than the end.
