Great overview of the area April 7, 2010

This is a great book if you are only visiting the Naples/Amalfi areas. Otherwise, I would recommend just purchasing the entire Italy book. It's basically a section taken out of the country guide. This book contains all the important sites to see, walks to take, and places to eat and stay. I love Rick's sense of humor and his attentiveness to the importance of getting to know the people. I highly recommend any of his travel books!

This is the best guidebook I've read yet for my upcoming trip to Sorrento and the surrounding area. I enjoy Mr. Steves clear and concise descriptions of the sights and local businesses. When I return from the trip, I'll be able to say whether his info is accurate.
Excellent! June 21, 2010

We used Rick Steves' books throughout our entire tour of Italy and will use him for wherever we travel going forward!
Short and sweet with everything you need to know June 24, 2010

I bought the Rick Steves guides for a recent 2 week trip to Italy and they made the trip so easy. The guides are easy to figure out, have great recommendations on places to eat, sleep, see. The walk-though tours of various museums are great (& save you money on an audio guide - especially if you use in combo with his Italy podcasts). The descriptions and maps are easy to follow too. We ate at several of his recommended restaurants and were never disappointed. The guides are also light weight so you can easily carry them around all day for easy reference. I highly recommend these to anyone planning a trip to Italy (we used the Venice, Rome, Cinque Terre & Almafi Coast guide as well as the Italian Phrasebook & the free pod-casts).
Be sure to download the podcast for Pompeii if you plan on visiting. It follows this guide book and is very helpful if you are not with a guide.
Great guidebook to carry! July 19, 2010

My husband and I are big fans of Rick Steves', not just for his books, but for his TV shows as well. Rick has great insight into all the places he writes about and he makes it a personal journey for his readers.
I bought this book along when we visited Southern Italy last month. We stayed in Sorrento and this book helped us plan our itinerary. The book was relatively light and small (4X8), so it was easy to carry in my bag. What I especially liked about this book was its detailed descriptions of Pompeii. It helped us understand the ruins as we passed each structure. The descriptions were easy to read and easy to follow since he included pictures. (Alternatively, you could rent an audio at the entrance for 5 euros -- and get a comprehensive guidebook as well -- but there's nothing like reading ahead to prepare yourself for the visit. The place is HUGE!)
If you are visiting Naples/Pompeii/Sorrento/Capri/Amalfi/Positano/Ravello/Paestrum, I highly recommend this book!
