From the Publisher
One Team: A Devotion to Quality There’s just one reason our team is dedicated to producing quality travel publications—you, our reader. We want you to get the maximum benefit from your trip—and from your money. In today’s multiple-choice world of travel, the options are many, perhaps overwhelming. In our guidebooks, we try to minimize the guesswork involved with travel. We scout out the attractions, prioritize them with star ratings, and describe what you’ll discover when you visit them. To help you orient yourself, we provide colorful and detailed, but easy-to-follow maps. Floor plans of some of the major museums help you plan your tour. Throughout the guides, we offer practical information, touring tips and suggestions for finding the best views of the city, a good place for a break or where to make that special purchase. Lodging and dining are always a big part of travel, so we compile a selection of hotels and restaurants that we think convey the feel of the city, and organize them by geographic area and price. We also highlight shopping, recreational and entertainment venues, especially the hot spots. If you’re short on time, two- and four-day itineraries are included so you can hit the highlights and quickly absorb the best of the destination. For those of you who love to experience a destination on foot, we add walking tours, complete with a map. And we list other companies who offer boat, bus or guided walking tours of the city, some with culinary, historical or other themes. In short, we test and retest, check and recheck to make sure that our guidebooks are truly just that: a personalized guide to help you make the most of your visit. After all, we want you to enjoy traveling as much as we do.

ITMI REVIEWS MICHELIN GREEN GUIDES
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.

Michelin Green Guide to Italy
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!

Michelin Green Guide for Italy
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.
