Italy, lonely planet
| Customer Rating: | From all the countries I have been driving around after these books... this is the least informative.
I would not have bought it again. |
Decent guide
| Customer Rating: | I did a multiple country tour across Europe and I will preface my review with the disclaimer that I only ended up seeing Venice while I was in Italy so all my comment pertain to the Lonely Planet's section on this city.
The section on Venice was not as helpful as other Lonely Planet guides that I have had the pleasure of using with my travels. The maps, while accurate and useful for approximate locating, will need to supplemented with another map (either the Lonely Planet's or one purchased when you get there).
The hotel reviews were good, but I would also use the internet more as I found a nice cheap hotel not listed in their guide just walking through the city. Their review of the usefulness of the Venice Pass was also spot on - ie you will have to work hard and smart get your money's worth.

Good for trip prep., but not good when you're there
| Customer Rating: | | I bought this book before I went to Italy and planned to use it to guide me around. When I was there, I found the book is good for reading, but is not useful at all when you need to rely on it to go around. The very few maps in the book are very general and lack of details. You can't tell where you're and what you're looking at if you only have this book. I had to buy some other books there so that I don't miss the great things at the places I visited. |
Lonely Planet Italy
| Customer Rating: | | Decent range of information, though some more specificity would be nice-especially in Venice. They had very little on accommodations or dining there. |
Great Guide - Full of Good Information!
| Customer Rating: | | This book tells you everything you need to know about Italy. Anyone who is planning to visit Italy should read this before they go. It is full of good information and will help you to get the most from your trip. |
