Excellent On Milan (3/3 people found this helpful)
We used this book last October when visiting Milan. We have also been to Verona in the past and this book is informative on both cities. Did not make it as far as the lakes so cannot speak about previous reviews. But fine on the cities.
Sniffy and snotty (6/8 people found this helpful)
This is like some of the earlier and poorer Rough Guides, snottily dismissive of anything that equates to "tourism". Which is of course ridiculous, because it's a tourist guide, and the smug authors are of course also tourists.
No doubt they consider themselves "travellers" ...
Plenty of decent content of course, but fundamentally unbalanced. Some of the stuff about Garda is inconsistent with what I have seen (e.g. Riva is not hard to get to at all, and the eastern lakeside shore is not afflicted with horrendous traffic jams. Busy yes, jammed no, in my probably lengthier experience). I suspect they visited some areas very briefly indeed. Other Rough Guides are rather more realistic.
Don't leave home without it! (13/14 people found this helpful)
Our trip to Lake Garda last month was superb, and this book was a crucial element in making it so. The recommendations were spot on, particularly in helping us to avoid the spoilt package holiday destinations (of which there are many around Garda), and instead finding the real "Lago di Benaco". Thank you Rough Guides!
A must have guide book (13/16 people found this helpful)
After searching high and low for a relevant guide book we found this beauty. The guide is well written, concise and easy to use. It became our 'bible' on our recent trip to the Italian Lakes'
The hotel & restaurant reviews were spot on.
