5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant book, 17 Jul 2003

By	Cheesy (London) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Walking and Eating in Tuscany and Umbria (Paperback)

I have just returned from a year in Italy and completed almost every walk in the book. It is a superbly researched, well written book that makes walking in Italy fun. All of the walks were interesting, some of them remote and spectacular, others through a foodies and nature lovers paradise. The book is still up to date.

5.0 out of 5 stars A well researched and useful guide, 7 Aug 2002

By	"marcusgunther" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Walking and Eating in Tuscany and Umbria (Paperback)

We spent two weeks in Tuscany in July 2002 and did 4 walks out of this guide. We found the directions very accurate and easy to follow and we enjoyed the walks very much. This is the best way to see and experience the Tuscan countryside. Many walks are from point to point and can be linked to form longer itineraries, but we preferred the ring walks. We also liked the style of writing; it is quite witty and funny at times.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great walks - great book!, 5 Aug 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Walking & Eating in Tuscany (Paperback)

This book is for anyone who wants to fully experience the Italian countryside the only way it can be fully experienced - on foot. Instead of merely viewing the fantastic landscapes from afar, we were able to get out there and get among it. This kind of experience can mean the difference between an ordinary postcard vacation and something truly memorable. The food in this area is heavenly - all the more so when you've completed a healthy walk!
