.Italian (Rough Guide Phrasebooks)

by: Lexus

April 27, 2006
I purchased this book for a recent trip to Italy and I couldn't have done without it.

The menu reader was excellent as was the section on travel. Many Italians were just impressed I tried.

Many of the words were also put into useful phrases and the more difficlt words were spelt out phonetically for ease of pronunciation.

I would reccomend it for any trip around Italy.

.Walking and Eating in Tuscany and Umbria

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 loved ... Read More:

.Tasting Tuscany: Exploring and Eating Off the Beaten Track

by: Beth Elon

June 05, 2006
I love this book. It's an unusual mixture, a hard book to categorise, but that's its stength. For many who come to Tuscany it's the perfect mixture as the great food and beautiful scenery combined are such a part of the pleasure. Beth Elon suggests driving routes with places to see along the way, then explains the food specialities of each area,lists special places to eat, then gives a few sample recipes from each restaurant. One of the real strengths is the local specialities information, as it really highlights some of traditions and how food can be unique to a particular small location not just 'Tuscany' as a larger region. We have found the restaurants that we've tried from the book to be just as described, with excellent, good value food and have ... Read More:

.AA Road Atlas Italy (AA Atlases)

from: Automobile Association

February 19, 2007
Lots of roads and the scale is good, but we were disappointed that the numbering of roads in the atlas was very patchy and had to be really concentrated on - not always easy when you're driving. Admittedly road numbers on Italian roads are themselves patchy which makes it even more important that an atlas gives as much info to help as possible. It was difficult to look ahead and be reasonably sure we were taking the right turning - and indeed on a number of occasions we weren't! Just not in the same league as the AA atlas of France.

.Tuscany and Umbria (Lonely Planet Country and Regional Guides)

by: Nicola Williams, et al

February 01, 2008
..instead of having to pay through the nose for a copy in a Sienese bookshop. As ever, LP guides have the feeling of being written by someone who's actually been there, and the advice on San Gimignano (get there early or go in Winter) would have been worth it alone.

This is an excellent guide, especially if - like us - you were roaming over both regions during your holiday. Highly recommended

.Florence and Tuscany (Eyewitness Travel Guide)

by: Christopher Catling

February 01, 2007
Fair enough - the title lets you know what you're getting, but those of us who only spent a day in Florence and the rest of the two weeks elsewhere might feel a bit short-changed. The street maps of Florence and Siena are excellent for getting a general idea of where you are, but not so good for actually finding a particular restaurant which the guide lists.

The ideal combination is this and the Lonely Planet guide to Tuscany, which is lighter on the pictures but much more detailed.

.Tuscany (Eyewitness Top 10 Travel Guides)

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 .
