New Fan of Rough Guides July 4, 2007

This book was the single best tool to plan and execute a two week tour of Sicily. My wife and I were not only impressed with the maps of each city, but the tips on how to get to and from the airport or train stations was right on the money.

We managed to secure lodging in each city very close to the train stations. This made our day as we traveled to 5 cities over the course of two weeks. I wish I would have consulted this book when the train operators were on strike. The rough guide even had the location and phone number for the bus line running from Palermo to Agrigento.

Each of the lodging blurbs was accurate and we were able to stay in places we wanted for the price we wanted to pay. Times were accurate for sites such as the Valley of the Temples, or various Duomos.

I really could go on and on. But if you are going to Sicily (or any other foreign place) and need a guide book, purchase the Rough Guide.

A Must Have for Sicily if You are Driving May 10, 2007

We used this map daily during our recent 2-week trip of Sicily and found it indispensible - accurate, detailed, and up-to-date. We bought this after seeing negative reviews of other maps of Sicily and were not disappointed. Please note that several of the negative reviews here refer to the Rough Guide book to Sicily, which is a different product. This map is excellent.

We havent traveled to Sicily yet to put the book to its big test, but in planning for the trip it has been very helpful...telling us what to absolutely not miss, good places to stay and eat, and insider things off the beaten path.

Good basic overview for first time traveler to Sicily December 29, 2005
7 out of 7 found this review helpful

We have never traveled to Sicily before, so we found this book useful in planning our trip and useful once we got there. The book is organized well according to region and then by city, with more space given to larger cities. It was very helpful for us since we went to 4 cities in 9 days. However we went off season, so we found that sometimes the times and days open listed in the book were not true once we showed up at a site.

The colorful pictures really help when you need to find buildings and other sites, but the maps are not detailed enough for navigating Sicilian streets. Stop in at any tourist office for a free map of each city once you get there. I agree that the historical descriptions for certain sites could have been better. But I found the brief descriptions helpful at times when making quick decisions. Do we really want to walk to this site or skip it for another one? The book also has some sample walking paths to take around cities to maximize your time.
