Unless you are the sort of person who really enjoys delving into train and bus timetables and conquering their mysteries, the answer to getting about in Tuscany must be the car. Read the first page

This is a highly recommendable and very useful guide for discovering Tuscany. The layout of the book with tour descriptions being presented side by side with - but clearly distinguished from - additional and very interesting background informations and historical episodes makes this guide extremely user-friendly. The book contains a lot of very useful general as well as tour-specific practical hints which often save time and efforts. Of valuable practical help for orientation during the walks are the precise intermediate-time marks (they lose their lack-of-spontaneity-flavor completely during the trip!) and indications not only where about to go but also which way or path to ignore: nothing can go wrong! The tour descriptions are extraordinary precise - and precision is well balanced with enjoyment: it seems that just like an impressionist painter the author writes in open air and lets you share with her the enthusiasm about intensity of lights and colors of landscapes but by the same time leaves you the freedom to make your own experiences. This guide is useful for people going to Tuscany for a short trip as well as for those who are planning to stay longer. There is so much to see in Tuscany but you can trust that choosing any of the trips and walks from this guide is always a right choice.

Like all the Sunflower Guides this one is worth it's weight in gold. Although we have been to Tuscany before this guide enabled us to add another dimension to our holiday as it guided us on many fascinating walks adjacent to the places we know but of which we were unaware. Keep up the good walk Sunflower!

I used this book mainly for the area North of Florence (i.e. walks 1 - 10), especially the Alpi Apuane region. This is a region of extreme beauty. The walks are well researched and well written. Those who want to fully experience the Italian countryside must have this book. I only wished I had more time to continue to do the walks described in this book
