1.0 out of 5 stars Useless - Copy of tourist office pamphlet, January 6, 2000

By A Customer

Warning: Buyer beware - It's a 16 page pamphlet with no substance it contains no more than what you would find in a free promotional pamphlet you pick up at any tourist office. We are Disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect guide for the relaxed traveler, June 11, 2000

By A Customer

This guide is full of wonderful tips for planning your day in Florence! As a casual traveler, I enjoy wandering the streets of a new town watching how the people pass the day and moving slow enough to allow time to look around and really see the neighborhoods. The guide gives the phone number to call for reservations at the Uffizi saving hours of time on line. We walked up to a special entrance with our reservation and were admitted in less then five minutes! I have friends who have waited on line twice and were never able to get inside the Uffizi.The walks are organized and the details explain sites that would normally be unexplained as you hurried from the Duomo to the Ponte Vecchio to Santa Croce.In addition, the local trattorias listed were wonderful. I have also used the Venice Walking Guide with great success and I recently ordered the London and Paris Walking Guides for my next trip. This guide is money well spent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great walking tour of Florence - off the beaten path, January 15, 2001

By	S. Leach "cat_n_hat" (CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Jeanne does a great job taking you on wonderful walking tours of Florence. If you are looking for a detailed tourist guide, this isn't it. It was obvious to me that Jeanne spent a signifigant amount of time developing this guide and her recommendations for walks, gelato, trattorias were right on. She led us to places that the locals go! One of our best meals was a trattoria she recommended!

Thanks Jeanne!
