Customer Reviews:
Inside-Out City Guides January 10, 2007 We have used Inside-Out City Guides in the past and love them. They are compact and easy to carry, yet have a wealth of information as well as accurate and readable maps. I used our original Rome Inside-Out guide on three trips, consulting it often, before the fold out maps fell apart! Not only have I replaced that and bought several for gifts, but added the Florence City Guide to my arsenal. The Florence guide seems to equal the quality and value of the Rome guide. I'm looking forward to giving it a real workout on our trip this coming spring.
Going to Florence? You need this book. November 17, 2005 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I just got back from a trip to Italy and I purchased an Inside Out book for each of the locations I was visiting (Rome, Florence, and Venice) and these books are life savers. The maps are incredibly convenient and easy to use and the listing of what to do is a great concise overview of the main sites in Florence. The way the maps pop out is seriously cool and the books are small enough that they can fit in a large pocket (like on cargo pants) or a purse. The compass ensures you always know where you are going an the pen was extremely helpful for making notes (there is a section in the back for notes).
If you want a very detailed travel guide, this book probably isn't for you, but this is the perfect book for getting a great overview of the sites, some good restaurants and some of the best hotels. I recommend this book to take around with you as you are site-seeing as a supplement to that big heavy travel book you might be thinking of.
Florence made easy... July 2, 2005 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I couldn't imagine being in Florence and not having a handy book like this one. The book has plenty of useful information on where to eat, stay, and shop. There are useful phrases and two very detailed pop-out maps. If for no other reason, the two pop-out maps make this book well worth the money. The book is small, and I was able to easily carry it in my back pocket.
Great Florence Guide January 23, 2004 9 out of 9 found this review helpful
I lived in Florence and this guide fills a much needed niche. It has excellent, easy to use maps, and a good selection of restaurants, hotels. Great information on shopping, especially hard to find information on the discount outlets of Gucci and others. It's a guide for the returning traveler. (There is no point system.) It's the guide to put in your pocket to consult as you walk around. If you want the best comprehensive guide, the one to buy (if you plan to be a culture vulture for a few weeks or months) is the Blue Guide. If you get this and the Blue Guide you are ready for anything.
