good guide, but I found Rick Steves more useful
By Howard Schulman
I just came back from 8 days in Florence. I had both this guide and the Rick Steves guide. Although Lonely Planet guides in general tend to make more interesting reading, especially with regard to understand the history and culture, I found the audioguide and walking guides in Rick Steves extremely helpful. I was somewhat overwhelmed initially by all the sites in Florence and Rick Steves I found most helpful planning each day. Lonely Planet was relegated to secondary resource.

Excellent Reference
By J. Schrempp
We relied on this book for our trip and it did not disappoint. We didn't use if for Florence, just for the area south of there. Good guide to all the hill fortress towns. And what a great place to visit! We did have lunch at The Grotto. Great lunch but "Tuscan steak" was just a huge hunk of beef served so rare it was almost alive; I don't see what's so great about it.

This guide book was rather good when my husband and I travelled around Tuscany during our week away. The guide was easy to use, the descriptions were well written and the pictures gave a true idea of what we wanted to look for.
