I travelled Corsica with a rented car. The book gave me almost all I needed - information about the atractions, historical background, cultural interesting articles, and tips about hotels etc... The tourist information offices know very little how to help tourists - with this book they are almost not needed.
Like all Rough Guides, this is jam-packed with well-written, discerning travel advice. Also like the rest of the series, it has the best for all budgets. The reviews were incredibly accurate and up-to-date, and all were worthwhile. The cultural sidenotes are interesting, and the photos are much better than thsoe in other guides. I didn't really check out other guides (not that there was a huge amount of choice), but I can't imagine how you could top this one. Go to Corsica, and take this book with you.
Unlike what the other reviewers have said, I personally have come accross many corsican travel guides, and the Rough Guide is simply the best. It is much more thorough than the others. My only beef is it is obviously British, and not North American. I would love to find travel guides aimed at Canadians travelling the world, alas there are few if any! The book was wonderful, and recalling it, I have been given a great urge to go to Corsica!
