Customer Reviews:
These little guides are great! March 21, 2008 We've used the Insideout guides for many cities and would highly recommend them. They have great maps, and good translators in the back. The recommendations are good too, and there's a place for notes. Wish they had more cities!
Going to Venice? You need this book. November 17, 2005 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 Venice. 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.
A must have. July 2, 2005 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I couldn't imagine being in Venice 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.
Super maps, great guidebook April 23, 2005 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I took this guidebook on a recent trip to Venice, and can't tell you how many times I referred to it. The Waterbus Service map alone is worth the price of the book: we always knew exactly where we were going, and frequently shared it with other tourists! The city map is nicely detailed, and the guidebook section covers quite a bit of knowledge is such a tiny space. The size of this edition is wonderful: it fits in a shirt pocket easily. And the little compass in the spine was priceless in those rabbitwarren back streets (which is every street in Venice). Any other travelling I do in the future will begin with a search for an Inside Out City Guide.
