how to get lost in Rome,
By
This review is from: Rome: Where to Go, Where to Eat, What to Do (Walking Guides) (Paperback)
This Rome Walking Guide included an eclectic mix of sites to visit, and the walks were comprehensive. However, it omitted precise directions to and from each attraction. Addresses for most sites were omitted, as were many street names. The included maps were not very detailed and ended up confusing us more than helping. We found ourselves frustrated and lost more times than not. The compact size of the guide made it easy to carry around, but it was lacking in historical background. A bit more information on the attractions would have enhanced the experience of each walk. Overall, the guide lacked clarity, detailed directions, instructions and background -- all crucial for a special experience. I would not recommend this guidebook for first time visitors to Rome.

Not worth your money!,

This review is from: Rome: Where to Go, Where to Eat, What to Do (Walking Guides) (Paperback)
My wife and I went to Rome for a week in March of 2001. I ordered 2 publications. One of the publications was this one (I wish I didn't buy this one). This walking guide didn't provide enough detailed information (directions) to it's walking tours. The publication is not much better than a bunch of pages that were just printed off of a black and white printer. If this publication was selling for $1.95, then I would say it is worth the money (even then, I don't think you would end up using it). If you are going to Rome for the first time, get the book called the "Eyewitness Travel Guides: Rome". This is all you will need.

A "must" for your belt-pack or backpack!,

This review is from: Rome: Where to Go, Where to Eat, What to Do (Walking Guides) (Paperback)
We carried this booklet everywhere in Rome. As we visited some of the major sights, it was a great resource of lesser-known-but-equally-great sights nearby. The diagram of the Sistine Chapel ceiling alone was worth the cost of the entire book!
