One of the most rewarding parts of writing travel guides isn't seeing them climb the Amazon rankings.
It's hearing from readers after they've returned home.
Over the past year, Touring Italy by Train has become one of Amazon's best-selling Rail Travel Guides, consistently ranking in the Top 10 and helping thousands of travellers plan independent journeys across Italy. But what has been even more rewarding is reading the reviews from people who have actually used the guide on their travels.
Again and again, the same themes appear.
Readers say the book gave them the confidence to travel Italy by train for the first time. They describe it as practical, easy to follow and reassuring, helping them avoid the stress of hiring a car or joining expensive organised tours. Many mention how much they appreciated the flexible itineraries, hidden gems and local insights that allowed them to build a holiday around their own interests rather than somebody else's schedule.
One reviewer described it as "the guide you wish you'd had before your first trip."
Another said it "completely changed the way I think about travelling through Italy."
Others wrote that it made independent travel feel simple, gave them confidence to use Italy's rail network, and helped them discover places they would never otherwise have visited.
Perhaps the compliment I value most is that so many readers say the guide doesn't just help them get around Italy—it helps them experience it differently.
Instead of rushing from one famous landmark to the next, they found themselves slowing down, staying longer, exploring smaller towns and enjoying the journey itself.
That has always been the philosophy behind Real Travel Guides.
The success of Touring Italy by Train went on to inspire three more books—Touring France by Train, Touring Switzerland by Train and Touring Spain by Train—and many readers who started with Italy have since returned to explore even more of Europe by rail.
If you've been thinking about downloading the guide, today is your last opportunity before it returns to its normal Kindle price.
Whether you're planning a long weekend in Rome, a two-week tour of Italy, or simply dreaming about a future adventure, the guide includes practical rail advice, flexible itineraries, hidden gems, local tips and everything you need to travel Italy with confidence.
