."Time Out" Florence (Time Out Flornce & the Best of Tuscany)
City Travel Guides > Books > Tuscany
by: Time Out Guides Ltd

March 06, 2008
Having spent a day in Florence with my mother using Lonely Planet and my dad using Rick Steeves - it was a nightmare! Restaurant recommendations were touristy or rubbish and it was hard to get around. I went and bought Time Out Florence from a bookshop near our hotel because of previous good experiences with Time Out Rome. The recommendations were spot on, and were equally good for a side trip to Pisa (botanical gardens were lovely and the chocolate shop and gelateria recommended on the river were fantastic). I highly recommend this book and encourage you to try as many recommended gelateria as possible - the three we tried were amazing.

.The Rough Guide to Tuscany and Umbria (Rough Guide Travel Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > Tuscany
by: Jonathan Buckley, Mark Ellingham, Tim Jepson

June 29, 2006
I took this book along with others to Tuscany - my first visit. We were staying in the middle of Chiantishire and found the book invaluable and for our limited time there, accurate. There are detailed descriptions of Florence and Siena but also some helpful guidance on the Tuscany villages. Useful because the villages take time to get to and we needed to prioritise. Very accurate about the restaurants and trattorias we used.

.Walking and Eating in Tuscany and Umbria
City Travel Guides > Books > Tuscany
by: James Lasdun, Pia Davis

March 31, 2005
We used this book for a trip to Umbria with our children ages 9 and 12 and thought it was great, both for the walking and the eating. We have been to Tuscany several times and wanted to branch out to Umbria on this last trip, and can only say we wish we had done so sooner. We stayed in the lovely town of Norcia, and did the "san Eutizio" walk: an amazing adventure with children! Norcia was an easy place to be with kids, the hotel recommended in the book was extremely friendly, the town had such a safe feeling and enough of interest (particularly the gelato bar) to the kids to keep them busy. The walk - one of the longer ones in the book - was an ambitious one for kids, but gave them an exceptional feeling of accomplishment at the end, and they ... Read More:

.Bella Tuscany: The Sweet Life in Italy
City Travel Guides > Books > Tuscany
by: Frances Mayes

April 06, 2000
A return to the author's senses-filled life in Tuscany. As wonderfully evocative as its predecessor. I think some of the reviews here are missing the point - this is clearly written with the intention of being a fairly lightweight, but sensually stimulating memoir, not a deep investigation into Tuscan or Italian society.

.Tuscany (Eyewitness Top 10 Travel Guide)
City Travel Guides > Books > Tuscany
by: Reid Bramblett

January 25, 2007
This is an inexpensive guide of Tuscany , is particularly useful to plan a visit , more than to get indepth information about the different places.
There is not much information about accomodation.
The guide size is compact and fits into a pocket , is very concise and good value for money.
I feel it will suit more a visitor wanting to see the highlights of Tuscany in a quick visit than someone trying to spend more time in the region .
