My favorite Italy guide.

This is my favorite Italy travel guide, and I buy each yearly update when it comes out. The Maps are the best for actually getting around!

Great travel book!

Once again, I was not disappointed by a Rick Steves book. He gives you everything you need to know to plan a great trip. Lots of details and personal recommendations. We have used his books in the past and have followed his suggestions for where to sleep and eat. He is rarely wrong. I highly recommend this book for any one who is traveling to Europe.

Great Guide Book

We are still in the planning process of our trip, but so far Rick Steve's book has been great. It is easy to read and organized in a user friendly manner. The size is small enough I can carry it around on our trip and use it as a quick reference. I used his 2006 England book with great success and believe the Italy book is going to be just as useful!

I also bought Frommer's 2008 Italy and am not as pleased with it. In comparison Rick Steve's reads easier. Frommer's reads like a dense textbook. There is almost too much information. Also, Rick Steve's offers complete museum tours so you don't have to buy the audioguides. All the information is in his book and tells you the best path to take. He also does walking tours so you can enjoy a free activity that really highlights a town. Frommer's just lists all the sights and leaves you to sort it out. Frommer's is definitely more inclusive than Rick Steve's; it has more towns, more hotels, more dining, and more sights, but I think it would be way to overwhelming to carry with me.

My plan is to carry Rick Steve's with me on my sightseeing, but to make some additional notes in it on stuff I found in Frommer's. All in all though, I think Rick Steve's is the better book, and if you only want to buy one, I'd buy Rick Steve's.

Lots of helpful information

Rick Steves' Italy is a wonderful guide book. I bought it while searching for just the right place for our honeymoon, and through this book I found the perfect place - one that I had not seen mentioned on any website or book or travel brochure in my extensive previous searches.

It has a friendly, personal tone to it, and lots of useful tidbits that are missing in some of the other similar books. I am very satisfied with it!

A Wonderful Travel Guide
