Yes, guidebooks are a great idea. Don’t forget also that many local businesses at your holiday destination often offer stacks of free advice about their locality. For example, the guys at Gold Coast Surfboards not only hire out surfboards (which is their main business) but their website is packed with information about travelling to Australia’s Gold Coast and what you can do there on any budget. These types of site tend to pop up whever you are travelling to.
