My favorite guide to Rome
23 April 2012
I used to work in the travel industry and planned a LOT of trips to Italy. I have been to Rome 10+ times and ALWAYS bring this book with me when I go. I find it the most authentic and filled with the best ideas. I also like the realistic range of prices for restaurants and activities. This book will help you find the REAL Rome - not just the tourist areas. I highly recommend it. If you like/need lots of photos, this book is not for you - but the info is wonderful.

Excellent guide for the experienced traveler
15 Jan 2008
I always find the Cadogan Guides to be very well written and in particular an excellent source of information for food and lodging in any city. I have never been steered wrong by them and their guide to Rome is no exception. I also find their historical information to be entertaining as well as informative.
If you are an experienced traveler and are looking for something that is a step up from the "Let's Go" guides, yet not as stuffy as say, Fodor's, then these are the guides for you.

Decent pre-trip read but not worth taking with you
24 Oct 2004
This book has solid information and is well-written but that doesn't keep it from being BORING! The only pictures provided are in a few pages at the front of the book. The maps are not good enough to travel with. It makes a decent pre-trip read (or to at least browse through when planning your trip). However, don't plan on traveling with this book. The National Geographic or Eyewitness Travel Guides are far better. The best of the best are the Rick Steves travel books which do not have pictures either but are updated every single year with new hotel and restaurant information plus great maps.
