5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely easy to use, 2 Jan 1999
By A Customer
Having just returned from a thoroughly enjoyable trip to Venice, I cannot recommend this book highly enough. The presentation was consistently excellent, and made navigation through the city's many winding streets easy. My only criticism would be the limited number of hotels and restaurants listed, though this is only a minor problem in such a superbly well-researched book. I'll certainly be using Dorling Kindersley Eyewitness travel guides for my next holiday!

4.0 out of 5 stars Colourful but clunky, 4 Jun 2007
By T. Bently "tbently" (Berkshire, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
I'm usually a big fan of the Eyewitness series but this chunky guide has a few problems. I used it to find some information on the Peggy Guggenheim gallery and despite stating that it was one of Venice's most visited attractions, it devoted less than a page to it. The much shorter Top Ten guide on Venice (also published by Dorling Kindersley) gives it two pages and names it as one of the city's essential sights.

Also, the use of hand-drawn maps is not ideal. In particular one of the Dolomites succeeds in being childish rather than charming and doesn't provide the clarity offered by a computer-produced image needed by visitors to the region.

Overall I think the Top Ten guide offers better value and more balanced coverage, despite being much shorter.

5.0 out of 5 stars A city like Venezia deserves a guide like this., 10 Nov 1998
By A Customer
The best guide to Venezia and the Veneto. The pages about the Grand Canale deserve an award for its beauty and first quality information.
