Customer Reviews

A wonderful guide book!

I had the opportunity to visit Rome in October 1999, and I took this Let's Go Rome guide along with me. I was quite happy with the recommendations of restaurants and sights, and I'd give this book as a present to anyone going to Rome. The restaurant recommendations were excellent and most were reasonably priced. Make sure you go to Margutta Vegetariano RistorArte (sic), close to the Spanish Steps. This vegetarian restaurant has the most stunning food imaginable. (And I'm not even being paid to say this!) Just one of the treasures the guidebook pointed out. I highly recommend this book as a thorough guide to the city, rather than the subset of information you'll find in some "Visit Europe" compendium.

Let's Go Rome 1999

I and my two other travel companions found this book invaluable. The directions, maps, historical notes, suggested restaurants and hotels were very helpful. The element that pushed me over the edge to purchase the book was the witty, "Morbid Tour". On approaching San Giovanni in Laterano,(housing the heads of St. Peter and Paul), I met a fellow professional photographer, up on a ladder, in front of the church, peering into the ground glass his view camera. I told him I had a similar camera at home and also photographed architecture. We had a pleasant conversation and I even managed to make a portrait of him. This was the 'icing on the cake' to all the other memorable experiences I had in Rome.

bravo

Let's Go Rome is witty, urbane, and highly informative.Whoever wrote the previous review was an ignoramus whose thoughts should be stricken from this website. Not only does he or she confuse the name of the 1999 guide's editor, but this Idaho resident appears to be illiterate. In addition, the Idaho resident seems to have a very foggy idea of what guidebooks are -- guidebooks in general do not "get" someone sexually assaulted, and Let's Go provides a very serious and thorough discussion of how to deal with the possibility of harrassment in Italy and, in particular, neighborhoods in Rome that may be threatening for women.
