In this unique and spectacular and funny common- sense guide to the pearl of the Adriatic, Dennis Fish, the enfant terrible of all that is bad in the British establishment takes us on a whirlwind rampage across Venice. This time Dennis is on his best behaviour as he gives us the proverbial lowdown on the best that Venice has to offer. After visiting the island and the rest of its shimmering archipelago on dozens of occasion, there is no better placed than Dennis to lead us through the traditions, museums, churches, restaurants, culture and foibles of Venice. This guide will save you money and will make sure that you get a decent night's sleep and it will also safeguard you from potential pit falls and rip offs. It is your best friend and I suggest reading it in either softback or kindle form before you plan a trip. It can be appreciated by persons of all ages and of all sexes, whether male or female, eunuch or trans sexual. It contains the most resonate information ever recorded about Venice and it dares to ask the questions that everybody else steers clear of including: Where have all the Canaletto's gone ? and Why is the provision of public toilets so poor? Yes sir, even if you had never even thought of visiting Venice in the past, this book will definitely change your mind.

Following on from the No Bullshit Guides to Venice and Florence, The Dennis Fish No Bullshit Guide to Rome takes us on an irreverent, witty and original four day tour to the heart of the Eternal City where we sample the best of what she has to offer. Dodging dog excrement, discarded litter, broken glass, hawkers and persistent 'tour guides' we were introduced to Griffins and Ostriches at the Colosseum, suckling siblings at the Capitoline Museum, soaring arches at the Roman Forum and screaming attendants inside the Sistine Chapel. With not a single minute wasted along the way, we go in search of macabre holy relics and gigantic confessional boxes and Caravaggio paintings and we count how many arrows can be found in the torso of a single martyred saint. And we do it all in style as we sample the best value restaurants and the most stunning sights. This is Rome as you have never experienced her before: completely unmasked and described both honestly and passionately, just as she was encountered. Laced with sardonic humour, obscure information and helpful tips, this book will not only save you money it will put a great big smile on your face in the process. Make no mistake, if this is your maiden visit, or if you are a wily seasoned traveller, this is probably the only companion you will ever need when planning a trip to Rome.

The Dennis Fish No Bullshit Guide to Florence is the most irreverent, witty, informative and erudite book ever written on the subject, following on, hot on the heels from the success of the author's No Bullshit Guide to Venice.

Do Not forget Mr Hazell's infamously stupendous Dennis Fish Trilogy or his children's creation The Ticklypuff if you fancy a belly laugh.
