Customer Reviews

Extremely helpful

My husband and I used the the Fodor's 25 Best for Rome, Venice, and Florence on a recent trip to Italy, and we found them extremely valuable. The compact size makes them light and easy to stick in a purse or pocket, and yet they have all of the information that a traveler needs, from tips on beating the crowds to recommendations for excellent restaurants. Also contains a pull-out map. Features like a two-day itinerary and suggestions for certain types of of activities are very helpful.

Handy book to have with for suggestions and reviews.

I had checked this book out of my library before our trip and liked it so much I came on here to purchase it. It had a lot of great information on the city of Rome and we got to eat at some great restaurants thanks to this book. The included map helped us to find our way around the city as well as the locations pointed out in the book, including the restaurants. It was nice to be able to know where we were going and plan out our day and have it all with us as we walked in case we decided to make a change along the way. For the price it is a handy book to have. It does not go in to great detail on the sites, but gives enough information, including operating hours and prices if tickets are required. Pick this book up and don't look back if you are headed to Rome it will be in your back pocket at all times.
