5.0 out of 5 stars great book for a great vacation, February 28, 2009
This review is from: Fodor's Northern California 2009: with Napa, Sonoma, Yosemite, San Francisco, and Lake Tahoe (Travel Guide) (Paperback)
We used this book for our recent vacation to Napa, Sonoma, Lake Tahoe and a quick trip through San Francisco. Everything it suggested was right on, hotels and resturants. We had an excellent vacation and the map that is included was very helpful for our trip. I will use it again for out next trip out to Monteray and Carmel.

This review is from: Fodor's Northern California 2009: with Napa, Sonoma, Yosemite, San Francisco, and Lake Tahoe (Travel Guide) (Paperback)
I felt that the information was very limited. This was not very helpful and only offered the most basic information. For example, I found a new hotel in the wine country from TripAdvisor. It was a great hotel, and a "green" hotel. I think that would be worth mentioning in a guidebook. Even if it was too new to review, it could have been noted. I also used a Lonely Planet book, which I don't really like because it's not visually appealing, but the information was much more thorough.
