But now that I’ve seen how much cheaper it can be done without the guided tour, I’d never do it again.

I have to add a caveat to your guide book suggestion: sometimes Lonely Planet is the best because they’ve been around forever, and have had many editions of their country guides. We used a Moon guide for Fiji and it was totally inaccurate and lacking basic info, since it was the first or second edition. I typically get a Lonely Planet for the maps and basic country info, then make sure not to stay at the hotels listed but to check nearby hotels. That way you aren’t in an overpriced, backpacker flop house :)
