Worthless

I’m sitting in St John as I write about this worthless book. Fedors should’ve embarrassed. Maps are wrong. Restaurant listings are terrible…none of the best restaurants are even mentioned. If you’ve never been here, this book won’t help. If you gave been here, this book won’t tell you anything new. Seriously just take your $20 and throw it out you window. Then pick up the free guides when you land in St Thomas

A bit dated...

I specifically bought this because it said it was updated - well, it was updated before the covid pandemic...

Fodor's Travel guides a traveler well!

Our escape from the boredom of the past year and a half will be nicely made this coming December. Our plan is for one week in St John & St Croix, both USVIs.
4 days of scuba diving & snorkeling at each and lots of eating good island food means that we needed good guidance for getting the best. Fodor's Travel was our choice and it hits the bulls-eye. Lots of good information and suggestions of how to get the best out of our trip told in honest paragraphs.
We trust Fodor's ability for us to have a wonderful time.

Nice guide

Nice guide gave us a place to start when planning our trip. Too bad trip postponed due to COVID. Like that it was current info
More detailed map of island/ larger towns would be helpful esp as buying a paper map almost impossible these days
