Synopsis
Norman E. Haighton (reader) Northumberland, UK: "I have read most of the guides to Tuscany and Umbria and used several. None of them come anywhere near the Rough Guide for comprehensive cover. Where the others describe only the big attractions, the Rough Guide gives ample detail on those plus a wealth of information on smaller, out-of-the-way and less visited places of interest. I have used it for three visits and it has never let me down." Vogue: "A down-to-earth guide with reliable recommendations." Sunday Telegraph, London: "The best guidebook."
