.The Rough Guide Map Venice (Rough Guide Map)
City Travel Guides > Books > Italy
from: Rough Guides Ltd

June 28, 2007
A very, very good map of Venice, with lots on it. In fact, perhaps, too much. You have to read this map in advance of your trip - become adept at finding a grid reference for a restaurant, for example, or a "sight" if that's what you are on your way to see.
Good:
- the public transport routes are right, though not very obvious from the map, but there's an official "venice transport" map on the back.
- even the traghetto routes are right(a gondola ferry - E0.50 this year, 2008)
- "road" names are clear and easy to read, if you've got the right glasses on... you reach an age.....
- many reasonable restaurants/bars marked, but coded by cost, which means there are 20 or so entries marked as B on the map, the grid ... Read More:

.AA Road Atlas Italy (AA Atlases)
City Travel Guides > Books > Italy
from: Automobile Association

February 19, 2007
Lots of roads and the scale is good, but we were disappointed that the numbering of roads in the atlas was very patchy and had to be really concentrated on - not always easy when you're driving. Admittedly road numbers on Italian roads are themselves patchy which makes it even more important that an atlas gives as much info to help as possible. It was difficult to look ahead and be reasonably sure we were taking the right turning - and indeed on a number of occasions we weren't! Just not in the same league as the AA atlas of France.

.Walking and Eating in Tuscany and Umbria
City Travel Guides > Books > Italy
by: James Lasdun, Pia Davis

March 31, 2005
We used this book for a trip to Umbria with our children ages 9 and 12 and thought it was great, both for the walking and the eating. We have been to Tuscany several times and wanted to branch out to Umbria on this last trip, and can only say we wish we had done so sooner. We stayed in the lovely town of Norcia, and did the "san Eutizio" walk: an amazing adventure with children! Norcia was an easy place to be with kids, the hotel recommended in the book was extremely friendly, the town had such a safe feeling and enough of interest (particularly the gelato bar) to the kids to keep them busy. The walk - one of the longer ones in the book - was an ambitious one for kids, but gave them an exceptional feeling of accomplishment at the end, and they ... Read More:

.The Rough Guide Map Sicily (Rough Guide Map)
City Travel Guides > Books > Italy
from: Rough Guides Ltd

March 25, 2004
This is THE WORST guide book in the world. Local people of Sicily seem to be the best guides for me. I spent a week in Sicily and every place I visited I would refer to this book. But all these pompous authors wrote were sarcastic and frankly insulting to Sicily. This guide completely avoids how beautiful the Aoelian Islands are, where each island is different and diverse and some with living volcanoes. The only benefit I got from this book was when I was quoting it with locals I met on my travels and at laugh how bad this book really is. Seriously, you can travel to Sicily armed with just a map and phrase book. I wished I did because this rough guide was heavy!
