Rick Steves Pocket Rome

We are going to Europe soon for the first time. I have watched Rick Steves shows on Youtube and PBS and thought he knows what he is talking about. Here are my Thought's 1. The book is small and easily fits in your pocket. 2. It tells you places to see in the country specific book. 3. Tells you methods of travel to get there 4. Mentions Places to eat 5. Includes a map of the area 6. How to pay for things ETC I could go on and on. It has so much great information. For me the book is great and after reading it prior to our trip, I feel I am prepared for my visit. If you decide to buy Rick Steves pocket travel books, you won't be disappointed

A great London guide for those visiting the city for the first time, or for the first time in many years. Easy to access, logically laid out, tangible information on when and how to visit even the busiest locations and sights, with specific info on how to get there. I liked the no-nonsense recommendations and honest reviews. A handy map is included, but the Streetsmart London map was a great companion to this. Buy both.

We only had a couple of days in Rome before we got on a cruise ship. This book was very helpful deciding what we wanted to see and do in our limited time in Rome. Great prep before our trip and a handy resource while we were there. I had Rick’s guidebook in my back pocket the whole time!

Bought this book for Rome mainly for the map, since a map for Rome will cost the same as the cost of the book and you get an insightful book to go with it. However we ended up using the book more than the map. The book is great and easy to carry (fit in a pocket). It helped us when we ended up in a museum that we previously didn’t plan to go (Capitoline museum) and it helped us figure out what’s important to see there. Overall easy to use and great to have for the Rome trip.

This compact book was full of helpful tips and information. The maps are very good and it will definitely help with trip planning as well as local directions.

This compact guide was very helpful. Good food recommendations and tips for enjoying and surviving Rome. We loved using the map instead of having to pull out our phones constantly. Pro tip: download Rick Steve's audio tours for free on his website!

Great reference book all things Rome. Suggestions on where to eat, what to eat, where to stay, how to get around, how to travel safely. Rick Steve’s is a fun read. I love this guy! The small folding map in this pocket size book is awesome. I’ll be taking it in my tote for my Italy trip this October. Buy this book, take it with you everywhere in Rome!

Rick Steves' books and shows are excellent resources for traveling. This is why his books are the only ones I look for just before planning a trip. This is the first time for a couple traveling with us to travel to Europe. I thought that giving them this pocket guide will give them an idea of what to expect. "Pocket" or not, this book has many useful tips and lots of colorful pictures. and even includes a map. I bought a pocket guide for each of the cities we will visit. And although we have been to these cities before, reading this book made us view those cities with fresh eyes. And thus, we have picked a few more places and activities to include on our tours.

Great travel guide in small format. Very practical to take on trip with you. Has amazing and detailed information. Highly recommend.

good concise guide with main highlights

Really useful & recommended if you’re going to Rome. The extra information was invaluable & after researching, this guide came highly recommended online. It was our 1st trip & we took it everywhere. It’s small enough to be light & easy to take test has all the information you might need for those known attractions & others that would otherwise be missed.

Packed with great information, multiple coloured pictures and maps within the book itself, plus the separate pocket high quality map of all the major attractions of historic Rome. Also liked the map of the “Heart of Rome Walk” to navigate walking through the major attractions in a logical manor is great. Also a public transportation map included. The book also supplies great historic background information on each attraction. Is evenpublic washroom locations designated on maps indicated with a black coloured WC. Worth the money if you’re self touring.

Ordered this for my upcoming trip to Rome. Was recommended to me in a fb page. Has got loads of really helpful information on all the must see areas and has a tear out map at the back that we will utilise once we get there. Helps with the trip planning
