Reviews: Italy

While we recommend and support good book shops as the obvious place to buy a Blue Guide, we also provide functionality from these pages to order copies for immediate delivery from Amazon.  One of the advantages of this for us is that we can see the excellent rankings and feedback from readers that our titles receive, in itself rewarding for our authors, editors and production team, who put an enormous amount of work into publishing “the best-researched, best presented guide books in the English language”. Here are some recent comments.

Handy, super-slim volume, packed with cultural, leisure and practical information on this part of Italy, which few publications cover. It gave me the details I needed to plan my holiday.

Great book! Covers all of the main cities in Emilia-Romagna–Parma, Modena, Bologna, Ferrara, Ravenna, and more. Pretty slim, so easy for traveling. I disagree with the other reviewers who gave it one star. Blue Guides have never been your typical tourist book. They include much more information and history about the sights. I use online research and other basic travel books to map out what I want to see. Then I take a Blue Guide with me so I can really learn about what I’m looking at. This Blue Guide is perfect for that.

Not always easy to find an English language guide that is useful. The South Tyrol includes many German speaking communities from its history as part of the Austrian Empire, and with Italian their country’s language, English is a poor third. So a good English language guide is important.

This was such a helpful book, truly detailed and has extremely useful descriptions and explanations of art and architecture. Traveled all over Umbria and took this book (on my kindle) everywhere and referred to it often. Buy it.
