This review is from: Frommer's Virginia (Paperback)

Concise, up-to-date and useful descriptions of attractions, hotels and restaurants around Virginia. Not a tremendous amount of depth of information on any one spot, but if you're traveling around the state, this is a good guide.

This review is from: Frommer's Virginia (Frommer's Complete Guides) (Paperback)

A very comprehensive guide for the state of Virginia. Even though I am a frequent visitor to Virginia, I found many new interesting places to add to future itineraries.

5.0 out of 5 stars Helped me plan a trip to Monticello, June 7, 2010

This review is from: Frommer's Virginia (Frommer's Complete Guides) (Paperback)

I wanted to visit Thomas Jefferson's house Monticello over the weekend and had done some research on the Internet. A few days before the trip, I spotted this book in a local bookstore and decided to buy it because it provides useful information about Monticello and other top attractions in the area. I live in the greater Washington DC area and were surprised to find interesting attractions in the book. I plan to use the book for future short trips to Virginia.
