 Written on May 26, 2007 Summary: Rick Steves' Italy 2007 Once Again - Absolutely BRILLIANT! This book is an absolute must if you are planning a trip to Italia* I so much want to see the whole of Italia one day - it is such a Beautifull country! I lived in Firenze in the 70's for a while but too young to appreciate it - now I want to take my husband to see this Beauty and looking through this book tells me all I need to know for that all important visit! I have looked at many books on Italia and this one shone through and seems to be the best / most informative. It is a must if you are visiting Beautifull Italia for the first - second - third ---------- time! Written on May 26, 2007 Summary: AN EXCELLENT GUIDE TO ITALY Read it before travelling to Italy. It is very useful. Written on May 22, 2007 Summary: Rick Steve's Italy 2007 This is a very thorough and concise book for anyone thinking about traveling to Italy. It is very easy to read and has lots of street maps for each city or town he writes about. He is down to earth and writes for the average traveler who wants to get the most bang for his buck. He is humorous and very very knowledgeable. He includes lots of historical and local facts and anecdotes. This is going to be my second trip to Italy -- I only wish I had read his guide the first time! Written on May 21, 2007 Summary: Great Travel Resource My husband bought us another 'famous named' travel book for our upcoming trip to Italy...and I had difficulty reading it. I couldn't seem to get a clear picture of what I needed to know to visit this wonderful country. Hence, after years of watching/reading Rick Steve's the original book went back to the local bookstore, and we bought this book. Wonderful to read, lots of humor, great 'tips' on things you'll need to know while in this foreign land. I am now truly warned of the many pickpockets in the places we are going!! (they are just as bad in France, as we found out first hand a few years back!). I have a feeling this book will be our guide when we land in Italy come this September!  Written on May 21, 2007 Summary: OK but there's better out there I will give the disclaimer outright that my husband and I prefer detailed maps. We like to explore and get away from the crowds. This map is not geared to that idea well. We purchased this map because it included Rome, Florence, and Venice and I'm a little concerned. We have an excellent map of Rome from a previous trip that is easy to read, large, and well labelled. This map is none of the above. Most streets aren't labelled and in twisting turning stair laden Rome, that could be not so good. I'm rather concerned about using this in Florence and Venice after comparing it to our Rome Insight Fleximap. If this is the only map you are going to rely on and you are going to Rome buy a different map. I will focus my critique on the Rome portion because I don't have any reference to compare the other 2 maps with. First of all the map is smaller than most, stopping before San Giovani in Laterno and even before circo maximo. Most of the Trastevere is also absent. The metro lines are not labelled well and there is no differentiation between the A & B lines. The map also leaves out many street names and the area East ofr termini station (where a lot of hotels and hostels are located is also cropped off severely. If this was the only map we had on our first excursion to Rome we would have purchased a better map there. It is also paper so if it rains it might be toast. The better done, laminated maps are wonderful because you can mark your route and then rubbing alcohol it away for your next trip and use it as a bench cover in case of dirty or wet conditions and as an umbrella in a pinch. If you want a basic, layout map or are using his guide book as a bible and only going to the marked locations on the map this could work for you. Just don't get lost or go outside the main area and make sure you stay in bounds and I suppose you could be ok. I wouldn't reccommend this map though. We're getting better maps for venice and florence. This is rather disappointing. |
