Customer Reviews

A good overview of Virginia
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.

Excellent Guide
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.

This book has tons of things
in it that you'll never find all in one place. I used it and was pleased with it
