It is exactly what I need. My previous visits to Firenze were in 1965 and 1985. Too long to be away and this time I will be there with 5 different friends who haven't been there before. The walks, with shops and restaurants, is perfect. The maps are also a big plus.

I downloaded this to my Kindle for my recent trip to Florence along with a few other guides. This was hands down the best guide to shopping in Florence. The stores we visited from this book were family owned, sometimes for generations and had unique, quality merchandise. One store owner took me into his workshop to show me how my one of a kind handbag I was purchasing had been produced. When I admired the beauty of a pair of earrings I was buying for my sister-in-law in another store the person helping me was delighted and told me he had crafted them. If you are visiting Florence and plan to do any shopping (and you're crazy if you don't) this is a reference that I recommend without reservation.

Used this during a visit to Florence earlier this year. I visited several of the stores and peeked in the windows of many places mentioned in this guide. I found the food store reviews especially helpful (EVOO, gelato, etc.) I left this book behind in the boutique hotel's library when I checked out. I wanted other visitors to enjoy it as much as I did.

My granddaughter will be studying in Florence from January through May, 2016, and this guide is perfect to help familiarize her with the customs, the people, restaurants, shops, etc. It's a little book full of useful tips.

Our family loved reading about and exploring these guided walks around Florence. I really enjoyed the beauiful rich color photographs in the guide that give you a real sense of the small custom stores. Lise Apatoff is a fantastic guide, our children absolutely loved her sense of history and her attention to detail as well as her deep knowledge about the best gelato in town! Her skill and insider knowledge shine through in this guide.

I gave this as a gift to my mom, who visits Italy often. She loves it, and says that it lead her to unique and beautiful places in Florence that she hadn't yet discovered, despite having visited the city multiple times! The book is perfect size for traveling.

My wife and I have been to Florence many times and thought we knew the city fairly well. This book introduced us to shops and many unique places we would have never discovered on our own.
