“Value-packed, unbeatable, accurate, and comprehensive.”
“The guides are aimed not only at young budget travelers but at the independent traveler; a sort of streetwise cookbook for traveling alone.”
"For many young travelers, the Let's Go guides tucked into their backpacks became more than simple information resources. With their informal, often humorous style, and their attention to attractions and activities of interest to the young adult traveler, the guides often took on the nature of a world-wise traveling companion-always ready with friendly advice and helpful hints, all sprinkled with a bit of wit. Given the scope of the series ... and the completeness and accuracy of the information in the books, the truly amazing fact about the Let's Go guides is that they are produced in their entirety by college students: [they are] ... arguably the most successful series of budget-travel guides ever published. And [they] do it year in and year out, as the only travel guidebook series that is completely updated annually."
"Unbeatable; good sight-seeing advice; up-to-date info on restaurants, hotels, and inns; a commitment to money-saving travel; and a wry style that brightens nearly every page."
"Retains the spirit of the student-written publication it is: candid, opinionated, resourceful, amusing info for the traveler of limited means but broad curiosity. Note: Competitors in the budget travel category—Berkeley Guides and the British import Rough Guides—are distant runners-up."
"Lists hundreds of good cheap places to sleep and eat, practical information on what sights to see, and a wealth of useful addresses and services."
“All the dirt, dirt cheap.”
“Let’s Go follows the creed that you don’t have to toss your life’s savings to the wind to travel—unless you want to.”
“The writers seem to have experienced every rooster-packed bus and lunar-surfaced mattress about which they write.”
“[Let’s Go’s] devoted updaters really walk the walk (and thumb the ride, and trek the trail). Learn how to fish, haggle, find work—anywhere.”
“A world-wise traveling companion—always ready with friendly advice and helpful hints, all sprinkled with a bit of wit.”
“The serious mission at the book’s core reveals itself in exhortations to respect the culture and the environment—and, if possible, to visit as a volunteer, a student, or a teacher rather than a tourist.”
“Lighthearted and sophisticated, informative and fun to read. [Let’s Go] helps the novice traveler navigate like a knowledgeable old hand.”
For 52 years, we have published the world’s favorite budget travel guides, written entirely by students and updated every year. With pen and notebook in hand and a few changes of underwear stuffed in our backpacks, we spend months roaming the globe in search of travel bargains.
