3.0 out of 5 stars Caveat Emptor, April 30, 2001

By A Customer

I bought the Time Out for Florence since I thought it would be the best guide for shops and restaurants. Time Out seemed to provide good, up-to-date commentary on shops, restaurants, sites, etc. In Florence, however, I found a major problem with the book. I discovered a number of inaccurate addresses and open times for shops, restaurants and museums. I wasted valuable time tracking down the nonexistent addresses or going to places which were closed at times the book said they would be open. If you decide to buy this book, my advice would be to call the shop, restaurant, museum, or wherever you want to go in order to verify the address and/or open times.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must for Restaurant Searches!, November 30, 2000

By A Customer

On our recent trip to Florence, my sister had this book, and I had Access Florence & Venice. Although my book organizes by districts and is therefore useful when out and about, the restaurant listings have much to be desired. My sister's recommendations out of Time Out were all EXCELLENT, and we decided halfway through our trip to ignore my book's restaurant listings and use Time Out exclusively.

5.0 out of 5 stars Raves for Time Out Florence and Tuscany, July 27, 2000

By A Customer

I've relied on Time Out Guides and Magazines for several years in planning travel in the states and abroad. Time Out Florence did not dissapoint. It is easy to use and full of useful, and not always easy to find, information. I especially like the publisher's inclusion of information for the gay and lesbian traveller. Buy this book!
