Customer Reviews

Great Resource
This Driving Tours book is a great resource, but only used as a companion to the Frommer's Northern Italy book. Shouldn't take the two books together to get the whole scoop, but it does if you are an independent traveler. This book shows the relative relationship each small town has to another - helpful if you like to explore on your own. Other benefit is that it shows a number of "off the beaten path" small towns and attractions not referenced in the general Northern Italy book. Still prefer Frommer's to any other resource - every day of the week!

Not quite what I expected
The book seems nice enough, and I am sure it is a wonderful travel companion, but does unfortunately not cover the north east area / Dolomites area (South Tyrol) of Italy - that's where we are planning to go - so I opted to return it.

Misleading cover on an otherwise informative book.
Many of the recommended drives in this book are certainly worth the trouble, but the cover is highly misleading. The book is sold with a spectacular view of the Dolomites, but not a single drive goes into that area of the Northern Veneto, Trento, Friuli-Venezia. Yet they do offer a chapter on the city of Venice, which is not a driving city at all. So I was actually rather disappointed in the book. Nevertheless, I will use it for the portion of my drive around the lakes, as it looks very informative on that account.
