" This is true of Australia and NZ (LP is based in Melbourne); less so for
other regions (much of Africa is notoriously out of date). Let's Go has
some more upscale options than LP - more breadth, less depth than LP.

Hi, I found the Rough Guides overall the best. LP is often very outdated (we
were in India in November and the infos in the LP were just transferred from
year to year, some 'attractions' didn't exist anymore, one museum in Mumbai
had been closed about 1/2 year before the edition came out, prices were also
incorrect) and as I heard the NZ LP has also not been 'overhauled' in many
parts.
I actually find the best information available is on location in the various
information offices. The AA guidebooks (free) for bigger regions are
particularly good (i got mine at the airport), but as you probably want to
plan ahead, perhaps you could buy a used copy of either of the major guide
books, to save yourself from annoyance of having paid too much for possible
outdated information.
Kind regards
Stefanie
