3 comments about Eyewitness Travel Guide Deluxe Gift Edition to Rome.

1. What needs to be said about this book is that it is not simply a travel guide. It makes delightful fireside reading for us stay-at-homes. As such, it would be an ideal book for a Christmas gift. I would recommend the leather-bound edition, which is a treasure in appearance as well as content. It gives you the magical feeling of actually having experienced Rome yourself.



2. I highly recommend the de luxe edition. In addition to the value of the content, the de luxe edition provides helpful laminated information cards, a detailed pull-out map, and an attractive cover.



3. Dorling Kindersley makes the best travel guides hands down. They are extremely well illustrated, have extensive and detailed maps (thank god, because I tend to get lost very easily and it is even easier to get lost in Rome), up to date information on hotels (rates, rooms etc), restaurants (costs and reservation policies), and sites to see. This is a more detailed look at Rome than their Italy book, which is also fabulous. The travel guides have wonderful pictures, well researched histories and facts about Rome (not just about the city as it stands today but a whole history of Rome from it's glory days), what wines and foods that one should try, detailed walking tours, information on famous art (there is a great section on the Sistine Chapel and all of the figures you will find in each panel).

   The book also covers the best places to shop (and there are SO many in Rome), where to get good deals on leather and other wonderful things. The book give you wonderful ideas on how to see the city in a limited time or really enjoy it if you are there for more than a few days. The book also covers things to do that many tourists might over look as well as telling you what is worth your while and what to skip.

   The book also covers customs, money changing, travel information - you name it! This is one of the best guides available on the market.
