A Travel Guide's books begin as web sites, collecting reviews, comments, rants and raves, suggestions, and updates from travelers like you. The community's favourites are then compiled into a book. Most guide books rely on the opinions and research of one single person who may or may not share your tastes. V!VA Guides, on the other hand, rely on unbiased first-hand accounts from fellow travelers.
