.Sicily (Eyewitness Travel Guide)

from: Dorling Kindersley Publishers Ltd

February 01, 2007
Sketchy and hastily put together. Despite having been updated several times, this guidebook still gets the orientation of Corso Vittorio Emmanuele in Palermo wrong. It does not run north to south. This is based on an Italian publication so there's really no excuse. It also doesn't tell you how to get from the airport to Palermo. The photos are ok though.

.The Rough Guide Map Sicily (Rough Guide Map)

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!

.Sicily (Globetrotter Travel Map)

by: Globetrotter

September 15, 2006
This map was not as accurate with road numbers as we were expecting. We got lost twice on our ten day holiday and both times went some kilometres out of our way, specifically near Piazza Armerina, (where the S117b in reality crosses the S191 at a great height and there is no direct junction) and Caltagirone (where there is a non-existent road marked on the map parallel to the S124 north of the town)

.Blue Guide Sicily (Blue Guides)

by: Ellen Grady

June 23, 2006
I bought this book hoping for a departure from the Lonely Planet and Rough Guide type of guide. Going by the other two reviews here I felt the Blue Guide would fit the bill exactly. Sadly, I sent it back as it was unsuitable for our planned trip as it centres pretty heavily on the historical, writing in fantastic detail about the Roman ruins etc. but for us, way too much. It is also very dense and almost impenatratable if you just want a casual look-see over a cup of coffee. Ho-hum, back to the Rough Guide with regret.

.Walking in Sicily: Short and Long-distance Walks (Cicerone Guide)

by: Gillian Price

April 12, 2006
i have only done a couple of the suggested walks and the detail is extraordinary. Also, the hints of how to arrive at the starting point helped me alot. and the fact that some of the walks are exactly what a outdoors enthusiast is after...namely the lesser known walks.

.Sicily (Lonely Planet Country & Regional Guides)

by: Vesna Maric

May 01, 2008
The book is very helpful and full of useful travel titbits when travelling round Sicily, pointing out interesting features of each of the main regions and recommended places to visit. The walking tour in Palermo was excellent, and the beaches highlighted were exceptional. The restaurant recommendations were fantastic, though the great hotel we stayed in was not mentioned in the guide, despite there only being a few hotels in the town itself.

You will need, however, to supplement the book with a language guide if you do not speak Italian, as it contains only the most basic phrases, and it would be helpful to expand on these when required. Furthermore, a more detailed map or sat-nav should be used to travel around, rather than relying ... Read More:
