By J. Hutchings
Format:Paperback
I am a fan of these publications - they make it very easy to plan a journey, as well as providing a great starting point to find out more about the history of a city/area. This book proved very useful in preparing for a visit to February in February 07, and I would not have been without it. Of particular use are the aerial maps, which make locating oneself much easier when lost! The articles, although necessarily short, offer a glimpse into the glories that can be found - rather than reading the book, get your tickets out there, and let the book be your guide rather than your only source of knowledge.

This is the best guide of Tuscany we have found so far to prepare our holiday, we have read other DK guides before and always been happy with the information they provide.
The chapter on accommodation is particularly useful.
The book consists of 336 beautifully illustrated pages with superb maps and street by street city plans with guide walks, it also has a road map in the back cover.
With a third of the guide is dedicated to Florence there is plenty of information on the main buildings, palaces and churches and features a large number of little villages in the countryside.

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.

Just another DK book. Vague coverage of everything with general statements. No evidence of a travelogue of the author.
Listmania!
