5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have!, January 17, 2001

This review is from: Frommer's 2000 Rome (Frommer's Complete Guides) (Paperback)

This past October, two friends and I went to Italy for 2 1/2 weeks. Although we used many other books, Frommers was our bible! It helped us find wonderful places to stay, great information about attractions and great places to eat. It even helped salvage our stay in Venice by suggesting a wonderful non-touristy restaurant. We traveled from Rome through Tuscany (Siena, Assisi, Florence, Pisa) to Venice. Frommers helped make it a managable and thoroughly wonderful vacation!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Complete Guide for Jubilee Year 2000, July 17, 2000

This review is from: Frommer's 2000 Rome (Frommer's Complete Guides) (Paperback)

There is hardly anything I wanted to know about that couldn't be found in Frommer's latest travel book on Rome. With events, and travel notes updated to accompany this Jubilee Year, you will not feel left in the dark. Especially helpful are the listings of many restaurants, hotels, travel guides/tours, rentals, etc. according to whichever budget you choose, and whatever part of Rome you plan to be in.
