Rezensionen / Stimmen
"I found the walking tours inspiring, and wandered about happily for hours following Louise and Lise's recommendations, filling my pockets with candy and chocolates and paperbacks along the way. The book is exquisitely designed by Louise. Highly recommended and essential." -The Style Saloniste "A spirited pocket guide navigating readers through the old streets of Florence in search of the most distinctive shops - both legendary and little known. Besides colorful back stories and photos for each, there are eight walking tours as well as clear explanations for the city's famously confusing address system and sporadic store hours."-Fathomaway.com
