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.

This review is from: Fodor's Virginia and Maryland, 7th Edition: The Guide for All Budgets, Where to Stay, Eat, and Explore On and Off the Beaten Path (Fodor's Gold Guides) (Paperback)

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.
