Book Reviews of Walking and Eating in Tuscany and Umbria: Revised Edition (Walking and Eating in Tuscany and Umbria)
Book Review: Great walks!
Summary: 5 Stars
The walks in this book are great!
With this guide, you can truly get off the main tourist routes and into the Tuscan back country for a very different experience of Tuscany.
In mid May 2007, we did the walk from Greve in Chianti to Radda, and a walk from Pienza to Montepulciano. On the Greve to Radda walk, we hiked in the woods, saw wild boars, and spent a most enjoyable two days in Volpaia, a little town of 50 people, some hundreds of years old, surrounded by vineyards in the Tuscan hills.
The walk from Pienza to Montepulciano was beautiful. The classic Tuscan views of hills, cypress, winding country roads.
If you enjoy walking and want a non tourist view of beautiful Tuscany, I do strongly recommend this book!

Tuscany and Umbria are famous for both their glorious scenery and their superlative cuisines--could there be a more perfect vacation than walking through the countryside, stopping to dine along the way?
