Customer Reviews

A great guide for students studying abroad in Tuscany.

The outstanding pictures, art descriptions, and summaries give a wonderful impression of Italy and Italians. The information is presented in a concise and descriptive manner without the usual lengthy and often boring paragraphs of Italian history. The maps were especially helpful and the descriptions of Florence attractions led me to places I never would have thought to visit. One of the best tourbooks of Florence and Tuscany that I have seen. A must have for anyone spending a significant amount of time in Florence or for anyone who wants to see the real Florence!
