1.0 out of 5 stars not accurate in the restaurant category, August 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Access Philadelphia (Access Guides) (Paperback)

It seemed to happen all too frequently - restaurants listed were no longer in business or had moved to a different location. In one evening, four of the five restaurants I tried were closed, and in some cases, had been closed quite a while.

this was a big disappointment as most other Access guides have been great

5.0 out of 5 stars Rome Guide very helpful, December 15, 2008

This review is from: Access Philadelphia (Access Guides) (Paperback)

While spending 3 nights in Rome recently we used this guide, especially to find small, local restaurants. It was a fantastic, user friendly guide. It is organized neighborhood by neighborhood with lots of information and detailed maps. You can read it as you stroll and immediately identify less significant (but nonetheless interesting)buildings and sites not referenced in other guides, as well as find information about shops, restaurants, lodging, etc. I will be purchasing other Access guides for future trips.
The other review states restaurants given were no longer there. That happens. My advice is to make sure you're getting a very recent edition, and deal with it if a place goes out of business or moves. That's not the fault of the guide book.
