5.0 out of 5 stars The Best of the Best, April 5, 2008
This review is from: Fodor's Italy 2008 (Fodor's Gold Guides) (Paperback)
The Fodor's guide is the best guide to Italy out of all the other major travel guide brands. I looked at all of the books and eventually chose this one.

Just as a background, I will be going to Italy (Venice, Florence, Rome) on an educational trip in 2009.

This guide will give an overview of each area (eateries, places to see, things to do, hotels) but then gives a detailed list of everything. Maps are provided for easy locating.

There is also a giant tear-out map which is also a plus.

This book was considered alongside Lonely Planet, Frommers, and Rick Steve.

I will definitely get the 2009!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Italy Book, May 28, 2008
This review is from: Fodor's Italy 2008 (Fodor's Gold Guides) (Paperback)
I just got this last night and let me say, I cant put it down. It has so much info. If you like wine tasting , try these areas,,or hiking,try this region. It has lots of tips and is well written and going to be a great help when I make it to Italy. If you are looking for a good book to help narrow down areas you want to see like I was,this is the book for you.
Enjoy and Ciao!
