I purchased this book for my second trip to Panama in Mar/Apr 2013 because it was the most recently published travel book I could find, and I like to read about the country details when I am on the plane or otherwise don't have Internet access. When I purchased this book, I was expecting the old-style, thick, Fodor's travel book. This book is more of an overview and thinner, with the reader directed to the web site for additional information. The Panama City section seemed fairly detailed, however we were 2 hours outside of the city and the details were more thin. That being said, as an overview book it is good with the basic information you need. However, if you purchase this book expecting details for the entire country you are probably better off using Fodor's web site.

After recently returning from a trip to Panama City I can honestly say that this guide was not very helpful (at least for the city). I can only assume that the writers have not BEEN to Panama recently. Information was inaccurate. For example, the "inexpensive double-decker buses of Citysightseeing Panama" were pathetic. The bus tried to drop me, my child and my 75 year old father in 100 degree weather for an hour in the worst part of the city with no shade. Guides and driver spoke no English and there were no earphones or way to listen to the commentary. This book was published in 2013 so I would assume they would know at the time of writing that almost the entire city of Panama is under construction. They are gearing up for the 100 year celebration of the Canal in 2014. When this is completed I am hopeful that the city will be more travel friendly. This book recommended renting your own car and indicated that the city is easy to get around. I would say only an insane person would attempt to drive themselves. I used a Rick Steves guide in Budapest and had no problems at all. It was spot on. Unfortunately I did not see a Rick Steve's Panama.

This book was helpful while I was recently in Panama on a study abroad trip. It provided me with some details on things I should see while visiting. It also gave a list of really good family owned restaurants as well as the popular ones. Good travel guide.

Lot of basic information in this book but will help you if you are a first time traveler to panama
The hotel section is a little outdated because there are so many new hotels in Panama City going up

It was helpful to review this book, prior to going on vacation. The book gave some good recommendations about where not to travel to in this country due to unsafe conditions. Also gave good travel suggestions as to where to go as well.

Maps did not always show the location of recommended points of interest highlighted in the text portion and the text description of some rural places was insufficient without it.
Basically it was a useful guide. I would not have wanted to travel without it although other guides might have been just as helpful.

I liked the book and found it very helpful w/ listings very organized and sequential. Good information on hotels and tour companies. Small fragmented maps showing sections being discussed. I would be nice to have a comprehensive map offered as an option or just include it for a little higher cost.
