I'm travelling with my family soon and am looking for travel guide books. They cost a lot in bookstores though.

Where can I get travel guides at cheap prices in Singapore?

I got my travel guides from a local travel book store called GuideGecko because they have free local shipping and are cheaper than Kino and Borders. Better than travelling all the way down to Orchard to buy books =) Where are you travelling and what kind of guide books do you want?

The cheapest option is to go borrow from the library. I did that for all my travels. Then, if you want, you can photocopy the pages that you are interested in and bring it along with your trip. Takes up less space and is lighter.

Have fun planning your holiday!

Oh you can check out online forums and websites like Lonely Planet or Trip Advisor and compile your own notes (since guide books might be outdated too).

A lot of travelers share their experience, special finds etc on these sites.

Thanks for the info DKCH and dashingjack! I think I'll go for a Lonely Planet--and jack, free local shipping sounds like a good deal!

Where you headed to anyway? Some of us on this forum might have been there before.

Travel guide is really very important for any tourist. People always travel different places in the world. So they dont know about new places. that time travel guide is useful for everybody.

there are many travel guide online.. i usually use Fodor's and lonely planet

If I were you I would hire a budget hire car for Sydney, then catch a flight by Virgin to Melbourne, then hire another vehicle. Between Melbourne and Sydney there is not that much to see, and it takes about seven hours

I think beside from buying travel guide book, you can also read some article in the internet on how to have enjoyable and unforgettable travel for sure the information could help you so much.

When I was planning a trip with my family, I found that physical guidebooks can get pricey pretty quickly, especially for multiple destinations. In Singapore, some people turn to digital resources or blogs instead to save costs. I found this blog https://everdayglow.com/ while looking into this—it's more about personal travel experiences but sometimes covers practical tips that might help instead of a bulky book. Not exactly the same as traditional guides, but could stretch your budget a bit. Just a thought!
