Book Review: Don't waste your money
Summary: 1 Stars
I recently bought this guide for a 2 week trip to Sicily this May. I bought 3 guides - Lonely Planet, Rough Guides and Blue Guide. This was by far the worst guide I have ever purchased to go anywhere. For example, two of the premier sites to see in Sicily are the cathedral at Monreale - it gets 3 short paragraphs - and the Capella Palatina gets only 2. The getting around advice was generally good, but at 300 pages (including the index at the back), the descrptions of tourist sites and towns left a lot to be desired. I actually wondered if the author had ever been there. The Rough Guide was much better detailed and I like their honest assessment of whether something is worth seeing. The Blue Guide is of course the best touring guide, this one was even pretty good at giving advice on getting around. We did not rent a car and relied on public transportation. I think I could probably have done the entire trip with this one guide. I do not use a guide for hotels or restaurants. I use the internet to find apartments and we just walk around to find restaurants so I can't give any advice for any of the guides for those items.
