Product Description
Product Description
Third edition of a guidebook to 50 walks through Italy's Tuscany, Umbria and Latium, ranging from brief strolls to a 5-day trek (the Chianti Trail). This guide offers suggestions for exploratory walks through the picture postcard landscapes of Tuscany, Umbria and Latium. The 50 itineraries range from brief strolls to a five-day trek, taking in little-known Etruscan marvels. Walkers are guided through medieval hamlets, exquisite Romanesque churches, unspoilt coast and countryside alive with wildlife and carpeted with wild flowers and herbs. There's the wild Chianti ridge, city walks through Perugia, Orvieto and Voltera, and day walks on the divine island of Elba and along the unspoilt coast around Orbetello. A mass of practical details cover accommodation in farms, country hotels, convents and hostels, with notes on local food and drink specialities.

The book is called "Walking in Tuscany" and yet a substantial number of the walks were outside of the Tuscany region.
The walks that ARE in Tuscany were limited to the very south of the region.
I can't comment on the accuracy of the walk descriptions as we were visiting the mountains of Northern Tuscany so I sent the book back.

The book was exactly what I was looking for. The details of walks completed so far were accurate in all respects. Delivey was also prompt.

Walk through history with the Etruscans
25 Aug 2001
Format:Paperback
I did both the no.29 "Sovana's Sunken Roadways and Necropolises" and no.30 "Sovana to Pitigliano the Old Way" walks and loved every minute of them. Italy is full of museums and archeological sites but this is ancient history out in the countryside! The sunken roads are fascinating gorges formed by the wheels of horse-driven vehicles that have worn ruts over the centuries in the soft rock called tufo. Sometimes these are up to 20 metres deep. We would never have discovered places so interesting and 'off the beaten track' without this book.

A different look at Tuscany
18 April 2000
Format:Paperback
this is a traval book with a difference! It takes you for short walks through Tuscany or you can take on the challenge of walking from Florence to Siena. Its well researched and most of the walks can be done using public transport

Format:Paperback
A group of us (seasoned travelers) used this book as a guide. We only used it for a short time as it had very poor directions and wasted a lot of our time. I would recommend avoiding this product. It made for a frustrating time, albeit in a beautiful place.
