This review is from: Tuscany (Insight Guide Tuscany) (Paperback)

This is the third guide book I have purchased from Insight guides. One on Turkey, one on Alaska and now one of Tuscany. I find that they give a good thumbnail review of places, people and good shopping...etc. I will buy another if I travel to a place that they have listed..

This review is from: Insight Guide Tuscany (Turtleback)

Good guide covering the most important items in Tuscany in a to the point fashion. The map with scenic routes indicated are a plus.

The aim of the guide (in my opinion) is for travelling through tuscany.

Not the right guide for detailed city info.
