♥♥♥♥♥ |
Beautiful images, incredible detail, but not a one stop trip planner
|
The Good:
- Beautiful pictures, drawings and maps highlight all the major attractions in Italy
- Book is organized by region, and is relatively easy to follow along
- Loaded with interesting facts about Italy, each region and each main attraction. This includes history, tips and useful facts.
- Nice touchs like 2 pages of common Italian words/phrases, breakdowns on everything from how to read a road sign to the Euro currency.
The Bad:
- Cumbersome to read - reads like a text book
- Hotel recommendations are difficult to use. Not a big deal, because I prefer Trip Advisor for my hotel recommendations anyways.
- Limited info on where to eat
- Limited "candid" info on where to go, what is worth your time and what isn't. I've read Rick Steve's website, and I like how he tells you candidly what you should see in Italy given X number of days. That is helpful and is missing from this book.
The Verdict:
Loaded with useful info and beautiful images, this book will prove a good resource while on your trip; however, don't count on this book to help you fully plan your trip. It will give you some ideas to get started, but for finalizing trip details, I'd recommended reading Rick Steve's website, Trip Advisor, etc. |
