Customer Review: Discovering Tuscany

This is a lovely "coffee table" book.

I found the information to be extremely general - book does not contain information that cannot be obtained in any take along travel guide such as Foders, Blue Guide, Cadogan, Rough Guide, etc. In addition, this book is NOT a good reference for individuals who travel on a budget. Most accommodations & ristorantes fall into the 4 star range; expensive.

This book is the perfect book for the pretentious American tourist.
