The Italy 2015 guidebook mentions of a self guided driving tour of Tuscany. .
In the Pienza and the Val d'Orcia section Rick mentions this is one of Italy's most rewarding areas to explore by car and suggests following his "Best of Tuscany" self-guided driving tour.
However, I have searched both the book and this site and cannot find even a mention of it. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Because your question asks about Rick's guidebook, you may get a quicker/better answer by contacting the staff of Rick Steves' Europe. Your post here (we're not RSE staff here) may get noticed by a RSE staff member, but you can contact them directly by email or phone with your question.
An alternative is the DK Eyewitness Back Roads Italy guide book. Friends of mine did one of the 20-30 routes in the book, one in Tuscany, and said it was worth the price of the book.
Thanks for the suggestions. I will check out the Eyewitness book and send an email to the team.
Cheers
If you are reading the 2015 Italy edition, the Best of Tuscany driving tour is on page 724.
Thanks, I found it.
As I have the eBook the page numbers don't relate very well. For anyone else looking in the eBook version search for Rocca d'Orcia which immediately proceeds the driving tour section.
I have read the instructions for the "Best of Tuscany Tour". I want to go to La Foce Gardens at 3:00pm on a Wednesday. We are staying in Montepulciano. I would like to do the driving tour in reverse. Are there any problems with doing that such as issues with the winding roads?
