Michelin Green Guide for Italy June 19, 2008 Gilbert Reeser (SFO Bay Area) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The Michelin Green Guide is still the best. It will turn you into your own expert guide. The star system lets you select the best spots to fit into your time frame. It will fit into your pocket, but it is not a light weight guide. Durable and easy to use, it is a classic.
Michelin Green Guide to Italy January 13, 2009 5laurel5 (Santa Barbara, CA, USA) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I bought this to read before we go to Italy again. (I've already traveled there about five times). My previous copy was about twenty years old! The Michelin Green Guides are my favorite because they are succinct enough to read as you are traveling but they don't ramble on, they just give you the facts and the info that you need. And the maps are excellent!

I am an instructor at the International Tour Management Institute ([...]) as well as a tour director. I spend 4 months a year as a tour director in Italy and am never without my Green Guide and I always recommend that our tour directors and tour guides in training research their destinations using it. Michelin guides will give you information on every little village and town whereas most other guide book just give you the highlights and most important sites.
From a tour guide's perspective, the best guide book ever!!! August 14, 2009 Teria Delorenzo (Clinton Twp., Michigan) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am a Tour Manager in Europe, predominantly Italy and I have bought just about every tour book there is out there.
The Michelin green guides to any destination and the Michelin maps are the BEST, hands down.
The Green Guide is not frivolous - it is a guide that is easy to read, yet for the serious traveler wanting to learn about the history of the destination and there are plenty of suggestions of things to do and places to see as well. - don't waste your money on these ever changing guides that confuse you more than anthing else.
Go straight for the Green Guide - that is all you need The Green Guide is your lifeline to your vacation!!!
The Michelin Red Guide with hotel and restaurant recommendations in my opionion is the best in its category as well!!
Good as expected April 2, 2007 Alexei Cherenkov (Russia) 4 out of 6 found this review helpful
I ordered the book to plan my trip to Italy. Unforunately, delivery took 150 days, thus I already traveled over North Italy and saw all major sites. But, when I recently received this Guide, I noticed that there are a lot what I missed. So, this book brought new bright ideas for the new travel!
