Customer Reviews

A little old now, but still worth taking with you.

Virginia is one of the most history-packed states (excuse me, Virginia is a Commonwealth) in the nation. There's a lot there to do and see. And this 'History & Guide' is a valuable tool to have along as you visit it.Some of the 'Where to eat' and 'Where to stay' information is obviously a little dated now. But the tremendous advantage this title has over the standard Fodor's guide doesn't change with time. Not only is it full of basic sightseeing info, but it also has engaging explanations of the historical importance of the various sights you're seeing. The illustrations by Stan Skardinski are unobtrusive, but nicely done.The tourist from out-of-Commonwealth will find this a useful companion. And even longtime residents of the Old Dominion will find many worthwhile places and drives they may not have know about before. For a title that's 15 or more years old, that's not a bad deal.
