Customer Reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent book Comment: I recently purchased this book and took it to Italy with me. It was an excellent resource. I took it everywhere. Customer Rating: Summary: Love, love, LOVE Rick Steves! Comment: We absolutely love Rick Steves' guides, especially Italy - - since that is one of our favorite destinations. Rick is the BEST printed media for traveling for a foreign country, but yet to experience the culture like a local. Our discriminating travelers typically book their lodging on our website www.worldtravelista.com and follow his advice for food and entertainment. You simply cannot go wrong with Rick Steves.... we "travel" with him everywhere in Europe. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Book for Italy Travel Comment: We used this book on our recent trip to Italy and it saved us a lot of Time and Money. Recommend this to anyone planning a trip to Italy. Customer Rating: Summary: "Rick Steves Most of Italy 2008" - he amputated the "foot". Comment: Don't buy this if you expect to find information on the southern Italian mainland.
The map at the front of this book sums up its disappointing lack of coverage of southern Italy. The map stops at the Amalfi coast and does not show the "foot" part of the country. Rick Steves' Italian mainland ends at a line drawn between Paestum and Manfredonia. So .... no Lecce, no Matera, no Otranto - there's absolutely nothing on Puglia. Truncated map = truncated coverage.
The title should be "Rick Steves Most of Italy 2008". Customer Rating: Summary: Rick Steves Italy 2008 Comment: Mr. Steves supplies a wealth of information for MOST of Italy, but unfortunately for those of us who desire to see Southern Italy, the book is not helpful. I would also like to suggest that Mr. Steves refrain from denigrating U.S. tourists. Many of us are well-seasoned travellers and can enjoy other cultures without the immature lectures offered by Steves.
