2.0 out of 5 stars "Adventure" Guide for Tourists, January 22, 2004

This review is from: Adventure Guide to Belize (Adventure Guide to Belize) (Paperback)
Before my first trip to Belize, I bought several travel guides. The title of this book suggested an orientation toward the more active, adventurous traveler. From the way the author wrote, I don't think that she could have kept up with my 8-year-old.

She seemed to value places that were quiet and comfortable. She seemed a bit intimidated or uninformed about some of the more active jungle type adventures.

Belize is a great country to visit, both for the adventurous and for those who like to lie around on the beach. However, I bought this book expecting information about the more challenging types of vacation. Next time you write an "adventure" guide, send someone who likes to crawl through narrow cave entraces, hike through the jungle at night, and get wet and muddy.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not the same book!, October 1, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Adventure Guide to Belize (Adventure Guide to Belize) (Paperback)
We used Explore Belize, which was the guide written by Harry S. Pariser, when we last went to Belize. It was a new edition o Adventure Guide to Belize. It was a big improvement in style. Unfortunately, this guide is a step back. It's clunky, with poorly-drawn maps, and so so background information. We really feel deceived that this is being called a "new edition." !

1.0 out of 5 stars Fake reviewers?, March 12, 2005
This review is from: Adventure Guide to Belize (Adventure Guide to Belize) (Paperback)
I havent read the guide myself but as I often use the recommendations here on Amazon it seems worth pointing out the 2 highly dubious almost identical 5-star reviews by Midwest Bookreview and Library Bookwatch who have obviously never actually used this guide and probably havent even opened the cover either. Shame on you
