Truly learned SO much from this book， not just about where to go but also so much about the culture and what to doAnd not to do！

Very helpful guide！

Perfect for a trip to Tuscany or for the armchair traveler。

Good travel guide with some nice walks （though each is very short）， museum guides and good background。 It is clearly written for an American audience。 The NPR podcasts are a nice compliment to the book。

I guess the real review would have to wait until after I travel here， but the book seems a useful starting point for such a trip。 I was a little put off by the constant mentions of gelato， but my real concern are the discounts he offers， which makes me question Steeves’ objectivity。

Another hit from Rick Steves。 Most helpful were the driving directions around Tuscany and in-depth parking and exploratory suggestions for the Tuscan hill towns。 There's so much to see in the region and while it'd take weeks if not months to explore it fully to one's satisfaction， RS is invaluable in helping the traveler narrow down their itinerary。 Another hit from Rick Steves。 Most helpful were the driving directions around Tuscany and in-depth parking and exploratory suggestions for the Tuscan hill towns。 There's so much to see in the region and while it'd take weeks if not months to explore it fully to one's satisfaction， RS is invaluable in helping the traveler narrow down their itinerary。。。。more

This book is a MUST if you have an upcoming trip planned。 We got SO many tips from this book and saved at least $100 on tours just by following Rick Steve's suggestions。 Do not walk， RUN to get this book！ This book is a MUST if you have an upcoming trip planned。 We got SO many tips from this book and saved at least $100 on tours just by following Rick Steve's suggestions。 Do not walk， RUN to get this book！。。。more

This was indispensable for me。 There is SO MUCH information online， so much to read and research and review – this guide clearly cuts through the noise， pointing you in the right direction。 And when your agroturismo in Tuscany has spotty wifi， the book does not fail。

A comprehensive， light-weight resource for carrying in your backpack all over Tuscany。

I always enjoy Rick’s writing style and humor。 I don’t usually read so many Rick Steves books before a trip， but I felt the need to read some specific ones because of the destinations that we’re headed to。 Italy seems to have so much to offer and Tuscany is one place that I’m especially looking forward to visiting soon。 I'm reading a lot， but I seem to have a problem retaining all that info！ My husband reminds me to relax and just enjoy it all - enjoy the reading and enjoy the trip。 Who cares if I always enjoy Rick’s writing style and humor。 I don’t usually read so many Rick Steves books before a trip， but I felt the need to read some specific ones because of the destinations that we’re headed to。 Italy seems to have so much to offer and Tuscany is one place that I’m especially looking forward to visiting soon。 I'm reading a lot， but I seem to have a problem retaining all that info！ My husband reminds me to relax and just enjoy it all - enjoy the reading and enjoy the trip。 Who cares if it's not all planned？ I tend to agree。。。。more

Read the 2017 version， great advice about where to go outside of the usual touristy must sees。 Good for someone looking to get off the beaten track。

Jeremy Lian ， 2018-03-07 00:00

The book provides suggestions of road trip routes， which is really helpful to travelers with a car。

John ， 2018-02-11 00:00

Note: I only read the portions related to Florence proper。 The usual Rick Steves product: clear descriptions， nice maps， nice itineraries of the major museums。 I noticed a bit more humor in this book than in the others I have read; some may find it annoying （I didn't）。 Note: I only read the portions related to Florence proper。 The usual Rick Steves product: clear descriptions， nice maps， nice itineraries of the major museums。 I noticed a bit more humor in this book than in the others I have read; some may find it annoying （I didn't）。。。。more

I am still surprised at how much our daughter， a mathematician at Duke University， has to travel on business。 She will have to be in Italy in late June。 I am plotting out a week to take another look at Florence and Tuscany with her。

Read it cover to cover in preparation for a trip。 Interesting and well organized， not overwhelming， helpful for trip planning。 Don't know how the recommendations pan out， yet， but have found Rick Steves to be very reliable。 Read it cover to cover in preparation for a trip。 Interesting and well organized， not overwhelming， helpful for trip planning。 Don't know how the recommendations pan out， yet， but have found Rick Steves to be very reliable。。。。more

Did you know that most countries will not let you in if your passport expires in 6 months？ I did not。 This book basically paid for itself with that one tip alone and saved our honeymoon from potential disaster。

Kaye ， 2015-06-04 00:00

This book is worth reading in addition to Rick Steves' Italy if you are going to spend more than a few days in the area and want more detailed information on specific sights。 Gives more complete walk throughs （room by room highlights） on most of the major sights in Florence。 We used Rick's tips for our day trip to Pisa and it was amazingly smooth。 This book is worth reading in addition to Rick Steves' Italy if you are going to spend more than a few days in the area and want more detailed information on specific sights。 Gives more complete walk throughs （room by room highlights） on most of the major sights in Florence。 We used Rick's tips for our day trip to Pisa and it was amazingly smooth。。。。more

Decent for travel tips， but the actual guide part of the book is just a bit too structured to be useful。 Probably good for people who are nervous travelers。

Laura ， 2014-06-29 00:00

Best of all the Florence and Tuscany guides！

I am glad Rick gives my favorite Italian city- Florence- its own book。 It is included in his Italy book but this book gives much more detail about the sights， museums， tours， transportation， and other info about this glorious art haven。 Florence is where you will find Michelangelo's David in all of his glory。 I am always left awestruck that he could take a piece of marble and just with hammer and chisel create this life like wonder。 He includes all of the details you need to know from which coff I am glad Rick gives my favorite Italian city- Florence- its own book。 It is included in his Italy book but this book gives much more detail about the sights， museums， tours， transportation， and other info about this glorious art haven。 Florence is where you will find Michelangelo's David in all of his glory。 I am always left awestruck that he could take a piece of marble and just with hammer and chisel create this life like wonder。 He includes all of the details you need to know from which coffee drinks to order to secrets on how not to stand in line at museums。 Just avoid his where to stay suggestions and you will do well。。。。more

I got the Kindle edition， and it was very useful， except for the maps。 Maps were difficult to read and were not enlargeable。
