- This deserved no star! Travel in light
This is THE WORST guide book in the world. Local people of Sicily seem to be the best guides for me. I spent a week in Sicily and every place I visited I would refer to this book. But all these pompous authors wrote were sarcastic and frankly insulting to Sicily. This guide completely avoids how beautiful the Aoelian Islands are, where each island is different and diverse and some with living volcanoes. The only benefit I got from this book was when I was quoting it with locals I met on my travels and at laugh how bad this book really is. Seriously, you can travel to Sicily armed with just a map and phrase book. I wished I did because this rough guide was heavy!

- good guide
I have just returned from a five-day unplanned car trip to sicily totally dependent on the Rough Guide and a map. It has proved an excellent guide to the best places to visit and an excellent companion throughout, for which my friends and i are grateful. The tips regarding restaurants and hotels proved remarkably precise and useful.

- Quite good overall, poor maps
I don't have any big complaints about this book, but I think readers should be warned not to rely on the road maps. The map of western Sicily shows a non-existent road north from Scopallo to Vito on the headland - there's actually a beautiful nature reserve where they have the road. When we were driving from Palermo to Mt Etna, their map of the roads around Belpasso and that area was rubbish. Directions to the Capuchin catacombs in Palermo were poor too.

Good guide - just buy a road map separately if you are driving...

- Sicily Map
The map was great. We never got lost using it and it showed everywhere we wanted to go and many more beside. We used it to find non-main road routes to see the real Sicily, not just the guide book /tourist bits.

Good map might try more of this series as and when

- Sicily
The book was chosen because the recent guide came out after we were going. The danger of being out of date did not materialse. A warning that it could snow in winter even along the coast would have been useful - it did. but the book was just the ticket and very useful
