I prefer contracted military with manuals of expected munitions and their hands- on introduction to EOD Adventure Vacations. Like, Cambodia. Which includes visiting survivors of Russian, Chinese, and USA relics. Get it wrong and suddenly you're another dirt crater.

Oh, dear. Is Fodor hiring trolls to promote their products? The two types of guides are very different in their audiences. Lonely Planet is better for young backpackers, while the audience for Fodor's is older and more affluent. In Europe, the real competition is from Rick Steves.
