A. Maybe every travel guide that contains references to Italy recommends that tourists, especially those in search of a romantic atmosphere, visit the"floating", uniquely beautiful
The part of the sentence "that contains references to Italy" requires a comma to seperate it from the rest of the sentence, so that "every travel guide" can connect directly with "recommends that". Incorrect option.
B. Every travel guide containing references to Italy recommends that tourists, especially those in search of a romantic atmosphere, visit the"floating", uniquely beautiful
Changes the meaning of the sentence by not including the word "maybe" or "perhaps". Incorrect option.
C. Perhaps every travel guide containing references to Italy recommends that tourists, especially those in search of a romantic atmosphere, visit the uniquely beautiful, "floating"
Correct option.
D. Perhaps every travel guide that contains references to Italy recommends that tourists, especially those in search of a romantic atmosphere, visit the "floating" city, uniquely beautiful
Same as option A. Also the word "city" is repeated twice, making the parallelism incorrect. Incorrect option.
E. Perhaps every travel guide that contains references to Italy recommends that tourists, especially those in search of a romantic atmosphere, will visit the "floating", uniquely beautiful
Same as option A. Also change of tense from simple present to simple future, is unnecessary. Incorrect option.

OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
Maybe every travel guide that contains references to Italy recommends that tourists, especially those in search of a romantic atmosphere, visit the "floating", uniquely beautiful city of Venice.
A. Maybe every travel guide that contains references to Italy recommends that tourists, especially those in search of a romantic atmosphere, visit the"floating", uniquely beautiful
Incorrect.
The word maybe is considered too simple for the GMAT. Thus, whenever you see it in a Sentence Correction question, eliminate all answer choices that include it, and choose answer choices that use perhaps, possibly or probably instead.
B. Every travel guide containing references to Italy recommends that tourists, especially those in search of a romantic atmosphere, visit the"floating", uniquely beautiful
Incorrect.
Although this answer choice corrects the original mistake by removing the word Maybe, it changes the meaning of the original sentence by doing so.
The correct answer choice should correct the original mistake without changing the original meaning.
C. Perhaps every travel guide containing references to Italy recommends that tourists, especially those in search of a romantic atmosphere, visit the uniquely beautiful, "floating"
The word maybe is considered too simple for the GMAT. Thus, whenever you see it in a Sentence Correction question, eliminate all answer choices that include it, and choose answer choices that use perhaps, possibly or probably instead.
Recommend is one of the nine verbs to which the Subjunctive rule applies (if it is followed by that). This means that the next verb after recommends that should be in base form (visit).
D. Perhaps every travel guide that contains references to Italy recommends that tourists, especially those in search of a romantic atmosphere, visit the "floating" city, uniquely beautiful
Incorrect.
Although this answer choice corrects the original mistake by replacing maybe with perhaps, it does not fit into the original sentence. The addition of the second mention of the word city creates the redundant and repetitive phrase visit the "floating" city, uniquely beautiful city of Venice.
E. Perhaps every travel guide that contains references to Italy recommends that tourists, especially those in search of a romantic atmosphere, will visit the "floating", uniquely beautiful
Incorrect.
Although this answer choice corrects the original mistake by replacing maybe with perhaps, it is grammatically incorrect. Recommend is one of the nine verbs to which the Subjunctive rule applies (if it is followed by that). This means that the next verb after recommends that should be in base form. However, will visit is not in base form.
What helps us identify this question as a Subjunctive question as well as identify the mistake is the following Stop Sign:
propose/recommend/require/request/insist/suggest/mandate/ask/demand that
Whenever you come across this Stop Sign, make sure that the following verb is in its base form.
