3.0 out of 5 stars not what I expected, June 16, 2009

By	D. Chin "cementgoose" (Gaithersburg, MD) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Frommer's Bermuda 2009 (Frommer's Complete) (Paperback)

I read reviews saying how up to date this book was. I cruised June 09 and prices were already $4 off on some things. I wished the bus and ferry system were detailed more. Perhaps important things like the first ferry out of St. George was 10am and the last ferry back around 2:30pm. So you better sightsee quick or you'll be taking the "crazy" bus back. Bus stops are colored poles with no where to wait/sit/stand and the bus drivers are annoyed if they see you sitting across the street at a bench and cross over. More details would have been nice for segway tours. Very awesome and fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars Italy and Campania, May 19, 2009

By	Mia Hopper "Mia Maione" (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Frommer's Italy 2009 (Frommer's Complete) (Paperback)

I am an avid traveler. In fact I work at times Italy. I do know Italy more than most. I picked this up because I like to gleam every thing I DO NOT know already form a good source. It was just that. Very Good. So many times people ask me about what to see in Italy - This guide is an excellent source. Clearly written with comments, suggestions, maps and itinerary spelled out. Here is my suggestion - go to some major places to see the tourist Italy. But you must leave the beaten path to see the REAL Italy - (see my other review of Castello Ducale for instance) in Castel Campagnano- Take in the people. This a good solid guide with many valuable points and comments.

By	R. Cupps "Randy Cupps" (Aurora, Colorado) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have other Frommer's books and have been very happy with all of them. This book was great. We mountain biked all ofer Grand Bahama & Abaco, the book was a big help with all of the great places to visit. I was impresses with the estimated cost of things in the book as they were spot on and accurate. Don't leave home without it!
