 Rick Steves' Italy 2010 Review October 31, 2009
William D. Mashburn (Brevard, NC USA)

We have used Rick Steves' travel guides in France, Spain and Central Europe and have found them to be very, very helpful.
While it is true that Rick Steves' Italy 2010 doesn't cover the extreme southern part of Italy or Sicily, it covers the areas that we plan to visit, and in that respect, I feel it is fairly comprehensive.
Of course, I would always recommend that one traveling to Italy consult other travel guides such as the Rough Guide to Italy, Frommers' Italy, and Lonely Planet's Italy.
We have been successful in getting our local public library to order up-to-date travel guides on Italy, which are useful in planning our trip, but we purchased Rick Steves' Italy 2010 as the one guide to pack for the trip.
I feel that it is an excellent investment.

Rick Steves is specific about what to see, where to stay and what you actually get, what not to miss and how to get to everything. Oh, and how much it will cost. I have used other Steves' guidebooks, and he is right on the money.
Great Italian Vacation! April 26, 2010

Just returned from a 17-day trip to Italy -- all the small towns and out of the way places! Couldn't have been possible without Rick Steves' book! We used it to determine train and bus transportation, B&B's and agriturismos, as well as restaurants, and, of course, the walking tour in each town.
With this book it is possible to see Italy away from the crowds, on your own, and at your own pace. Our vacation couldn't have been more perfect!
Just what I needed! November 1, 2009

I'm planning my second trip to Italy and this book includes everything that I needed to know to help plan the trip (and then some). I've used Rick's advice before and have never been let-down.
Rick Steves knows Europe! December 8, 2009

I mostly rely on various websites when I travel but I found Spain to be just too large to handle on my own; so last year, I decided to get Steves' Spain book. Now that I'm getting ready to explore Italy, I've once more turned to Steves' guide book. He offers the most valuable practical information at the fingertips of the ordinary traveler. I know now what to expect and I can't ask for more.

The deal struck between the franchisor and the franchisee involves various rights of operating the parent business, with the same or altered techniques of business practice. The kind of franchise business opportunity that allows both the parties certain amount of freedom, especially to the franchisee, is the kind that is based on a system of mutual trust. The legal bindings to the rights of the parent company are final, and a slight tampering of these may hamper the relationship between the franchisor and the franchisee, and may or may not affect total sales. This is because the trusting of certain autonomy to the franchisee may also result in gaining a lot of regional leverage that your company may require.
To understand the dynamics of such a business system, you should understand the need for the creation of a franchise business opportunity for both the parties. This type of opportunity is created when the franchising company wants to involve smaller units of the same to function semi-independently, generating more profit and market presence. Some parent companies want to strengthen their brand image and therefore go on an aggressive franchise drive. The company that wants to outsell the nearest competitor through market presence and high sales would be a prime candidate in creating an opportunity for small scale entrepreneurs who want to own a business franchise.
