New Fan of Rough Guides
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
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

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.
Excellent

This is a must, if you go on your own. A lot of practical things.
Another Helpful RoughGuide

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.
On Target
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
We have been to Sicily three times and find the Rough Guide to be unerringly on target. Its assessments of the priority of things to see and do, its reviews of sights, hotels, restaurants have been the most helpful of the many guides we used. Short on color photos but long on info, the rough guide let us find the beauty quickly to see and taste it for ourselves, and steered us to many interesting places in Palermo, Patti, Milazzo, Messina and Syracuse.
