Customer Reviews

Reliable Guide

I used this guide only for Maryland on this trip, and it was very useful. Fodor's is a reliable guidebook, and I will always purchase it first.

Such a complete guide for all purposes

I find the guide pretty informative about many kinds of making tourism along these states, It contains lots of recommendations, hints and thorough points of view from the editors. One thing I remark is that the area dwellers have enriched the content of this book, who try to encourage the traveller to keep an eye in many things a normal guide might not point. I would recommend, though, that the book contain unfoldable color maps instead of those b & w that are within the pages, since it would clearly enhance the view of this guide, however the richness of this book lies on its variety of places of interest and its wide coverage of the minimal facts on every town of these states.

A Must Have for Anybody Going to This Area

As a person who enjoys traveling, I decided to purchase this book on my first trip to Virginia Beach. This guide introduced me to many different sights to see that I never knew existed. They provide phone numbers and addresses of the locations and their descriptions of the places were very accurate. This superb book lists the best attractions, restaurants and many other things for all of the cities in Maryland and Virginia. If you're going to MD or VA for the first time or for the tenth time, this book is a great addition to add to your bag.
