Rome: Travel Guides That Simply Get to the Point!

Summary: Best pocket guide for first-time visitors
Review: During our first trip to Italy, our tour package included three Tripbuilder books --- Rome, Venice and Florence. These turned out to be the best guides ever! Although we had Fodor's guide to Italy, we found that we relied on the Tripbuilder books a lot more for very simple reasons: the colorful and detailed map, guide to public transportation, color-coded keys to areas of interest, the short but intriguing historical commentaries on each entry, tips for tourists, and the perfect booklet size to put in a pocket or purse.

The Tripbuilder series was so helpful during our trip that we have since ordered additional books for our next trip to London, Paris and Amsterdam. We sincerely hope that they will keep adding to this series as we make our way through Europe because we plan to collect ALL of them.

P.S. I lent one of my books to a friend who visited Florence after we did. She loved the book as well, and told me that it certainly made her trip so much more significant and enjoyable because of the great information in the book.

Kudos!

Summary: BRAVO!
Review: I found these books extremly useful in my trips around Europe. They are so small and compact yet they give as much information if not more about the city you are currently in. I have used other guides before, but you have to rummage through hundreds of pages before getting to the correct landmark, with a Tripbuilder it is a quick and easy way to have a hassle free trip. I FOUND THESE GUIDES EXTREMLY HELPFUL! I HIGHLY RECCOMEND THEM! **ALBERT SCULLY**
