Well presented guidebook,
I selected this guidebook as a change from the weary Lonely Planet formula. I must say I am very happy with my choice and it served me well throughout my trip. Of particular help is its style throughout where different places are ranked on a scale of interest; I found these recommendations to be pretty much spot-on. (Although it does offer accommodation and restaurant suggestions, I did not use these much, prefering to use TripAdvisor and to talk to locals, respectively.) Overall, a very good guidebook- lightweight, well-presented, good photos, and presented in a readable style.

Outstanding travel guide,
This guide is the best I’ve seen for any city and was used for my 10 days in Bogota with day trips to Girardot, Melgar, and Facatativa (May 2011).
Overall, the information presented on the city was accurate especially the recommended sights and walking tours (with maps) as well as tips on using taxis, buses, Transmilenio, and renting cell phones on the streets.
There could have been more detail on restaurants and hotels but what was provided is a good start for a first trip to Bogota and the surrounding area.

Colombia,
Plan on visiting my son in Colombia and wanted to read up on it in advance of the visit. Very few tour books cover Colombia especially ones on good paper filled with color photos. This one is very informative too.
