Hi. This is not really a question.
We just got back from 2 weeks in Italy and relied of Rick's books, maps and advice. It was priceless to us.
When we followed it, it worked. When we thought we knew better, we usually went back to the book.
We found that his info and insights enhanced our visit.

Yes, that's how Rick has gotten to where he is in the travel business: he takes you by the hand, it's like having him there with you (well, not really, but you know what I mean).

We have been traveling Italy for two week into Rick's suggested 21 day tour of Italy. Without his book, we would not have known how to buy train tickets, validate tickets, what to do if you forget to validate (going right to the conductor and explaining worked) , how to take buses etc. It has been great and we couldn't have done this trip without Italy 2015.
