My friend bought the thicker full version of Italy tour book but she rarely pulls it out to use it during our trip because it’s too heavy. This one is so much lighter to use and small size that it tucks away neatly in my small handbag. I recommend this highly to those who likes backpacking with light luggages!

i bought this booklet in addition to the rick steves guide book. i was relying on rick steves for the touring and sightseeing, but i like this one for its compactness and beautiful pictures. i kept it pristine, so after our trip, we kept it as a travel memorabilia.

I’m of the theory that you’re best served with two travel books – a pocket sized, quick reference book and a larger, more indepth book. The pocket sized book is the one that fits into a cargo pants pocket or a jacket pocket.
I got back from a trip to Rome and while everyone had their tomes from Lonely Planet or Fodor’s out at dinner, the DK Top Ten Rome book was the one that was taken from my hands and passed around. The foldout map helps a lot and as a result, I was the navigator as we walked the streets of Rome.
If you have an infinite amount of time to see everything in Rome, then you’ll need a great book to cover everything. If you’re doing a multi-city Italian tour and only have a few days in Rome, it’s good to have a book like this to keep as a quick reference guide.

We have traveeld to Rome three times now and found this travel guide to be the most informative. The material is well organized and most of all well written. The quailty of the paper and quailty of the pictures cannot be beat. Even after a long trip the book still holds togather with no loose pages like we have expierenced in other travel guides. Don’t expect to get a lot of hotel and restaurant information in these guide as it’s all about the sites. We never leave home without an Eyewitness Guide.

Excellent book , expecially for us travelers with too little time to do a thorough search of information on this famous city. The text is organized so that you can easily pick and choose topics of interest such as the 10 best museums. Photos and illustrations add to the ease in understanding the text as do the directions and phone numbers included for many sites and locations. Our experience reading the book combined with a few internet searches made us feel like experienced tourists even before we left for our trip. Our only tip after visiting is to come prepared and bring along your book since you cannot expect much help and/or directions after you arrive as everyone else seems to be in a hurry or just uninterested in your dilema.
