This review is from: Rick Steves' Florence and Tuscany 2012 (Paperback)
I am addicted to Rick Steves travel books. Very well documented, updated, well written, funny - all you need to make your trip enjoyable. He is the best! I don't need any other travel book for Florence.

The right type of information you'll need,

This review is from: Rick Steves' Florence and Tuscany 2012 (Paperback)
I had borrowed this book from the library and liked it so much I bought hisFlorence, Rome and Venice books. His book gives you the type of information you actually need for your trip. Transportation, places to eat and stay, the top places to see, dates and times to keep in mind and most importantly how to avoid the long line-ups. Knowing this information will save us valuable time on on trip. He also looks at different passes that are available and will help you determine if they are a good deal for you or not. We have only a short amount of time for our trip, so we were going to spend a lot of money on tours just so we could "skip the lines", but now we have the inside track and can do it ourselves and at our own pace. I'm sure this book has saved us hundreds of dollars!

This review is from: Rick Steves' Florence and Tuscany 2012 (Paperback)
Although Rick Steves's Italy book provides much valuable information on Florence, the Florence book adds more detail, especially the specific tours of various sightseeing destinations. Also, the book provides black and white photos of the highlights of the destinations that are being featured. This is another very useful travel book from Rick and it has been vital in the planning of my 2012 trip to Italy.

Wishing for more"Tuscan Hill Towns",

This review is from: Rick Steves' Florence and Tuscany 2012 (Paperback)
As another reviewer notes Rick Steve covers Florence well in his Italy book, but he covers it better in this one. However, his depth of coverage is perhaps to the exclusion of smaller Tuscan hill towns. While he also covers Siena, Pisa, and Luca (in addition to Florence) in Florence and Tuscany 2012, he only covers six hill towns and in limited detail at most. I am forced to gather information about the myriad of other hill towns from a different source. Perhaps in the next edition Rick?
