I read this thinking I was being clever off a Book Prompt Challenge。 1k pages plus later, I know more about Italy than if I had gone there myself。 I read it all, too - every word about Stephania and her family running a boutique hotel in Florence and Giuseppe and his Canadian girlfriend that give tours in Palermo。I'd rec this book to someone planning a trip, but not to someone looking to read a book that takes place during a holiday。 :P I read this thinking I was being clever off a Book Prompt Challenge。 1k pages plus later, I know more about Italy than if I had gone there myself。 I read it all, too - every word about Stephania and her family running a boutique hotel in Florence and Giuseppe and his Canadian girlfriend that give tours in Palermo。I'd rec this book to someone planning a trip, but not to someone looking to read a book that takes place during a holiday。 :P 。。。more
Jay D,
A great help when traveling in Italy。 Rick Steves provides all the info on select cities and regions。
Donna,
After more than twenty trips to Europe, I can honestly recommend Rick Steves’ guidebooks as the best for most travelers。 I used this new Italy guidebook to prepare for our recent visit。 I appreciate his detailed advice prioritizing precious travel time。
Bill Pritchard,
Getting myself ready for a trip to Italy - no one is better than Rick Steves to make sure you see what you need to as well as get behind the skin of a place。 Highly recommended。
