As Mr Steves’ site says:
In Rick Steves’ Italy, you’ll find in-depth Rick-tested information on trip planning, hotels, restaurants, tourist offices, transportation, telephones, festivals and holidays, mail and email, weather, survival phrases and easy-to-follow maps. It covers all the best sights (but does not include the illustrated city walks and museum tours found in Rick’s city guidebooks).

Stop reading, start speaking
Stop translating in your head and start speaking Italian for real with the only audio course that prompt you to speak.
This is what satisfied user Jon L. Albee had to say about his experience with an “honest” Rick Steves’ Italy guide:
“I’m a committed Rough Guide reader, but for my proposed trip to Italy I decided to try this very popular series. I now understand why they are so popular.
First, this guide is concise. It doesn’t claim to represent each and every location in the country, but is a selective overview of the sites the author knows we are interested in. Venice? Check. Florence? That too. Rome? Good to go. Perugia? Maybe not. I like its concise, selective format because it makes the book readable and usable. I’m not bogged down in page after page of minutiae.”
Italy visitor JRC Reno has been using Rick Steves’ guides for 18 years. He said this:
“Have been lucky to have visited Italy several times in the past couple of years, using several Rick Steves guides, i.e. Italy, Rome, Venice, and Florence & Tuscany each time. Did not hesitate buying Italy 2013 for our journey next May to Northern Italy. I have used Rick Steves guides for 18 years and will continue to use them as a base guide and point of departure for wherever we go in Europe. One joy is re-reading the guides after returning home and reviewing where we were, often nodding in agreement while thinking ‘Yes, exactly.'”
