Absolutely great & unusual shops ..None of the bad tourist gear only the styling gear.. .I had five guides to Rome over two trips to Rome this is the one we used every day...Do not go anywhere without this guide if there is one available for the destination Im will be traveling to....

The maps are very easy to use - they are small and manageable. I've also been following some of the dining suggestions to find the best pizza and gelato in the city, and the recommendations have been excellent!
