Michelin guides - Highly recommended for Tuscany?
Hi gang!
Thanks to you folks, our (first time) Sept. trip for 4 to Rome, Tuscany and Venice is pretty much set. Got air, lodging, a small Ford wagon, and awaiting Scavi reservation response.
I've read most of the threads on here that mention the Michelin guides. I've never seen one in a bookstore, so I don't know what they contain and suppose you must purchase them online. How many different ones are there for Italy?
For 7 days worth of daytrips from Siena, would they be VERY useful? If so, which ones, and is there a best place to purchase?
Also, do they have info that is useful, even if you have a GPS? Thanks so much!

Michelin green guides are for sights(and recommended scenic drives). Michelin Red Guides are for hotels and restaurants.
In the green guides, they have a one star, two star, three star system for ratings.
A lot of bookstores will have a few greens but maybe not the one you need. Amazon probably will have the one you need.
Vanman, I look at the green guides as a planning tool (traveler's catalog of sights) rather than a driving aid. For diving help you want a good map (maps).
