Fodor's City Guides by Random House Digital, Inc. makes sure that when you travel you have expert travel advice available to you on your iPad.

You are not going to want to leave home without this helpful app that is just full of useful information. Inside you'll find tips on travel, hotel booking capabilities, and discounts on tours and attractions.

The information here can be searched by category of interest, price range, or by destination. This app likes to call itself a local guide that travels with you. You will only find the best of the best here, so you know you can trust the listings.

Some of the cities that are currently supported are London, New York City, Rome, Paris, Barcelona, and San Francisco. Developers are working on adding more cities. After keying in the city you are visiting you'll find links to attractions, shopping, restaurants, performing arts, and more.

Take advantage of the helpful features such as capabilities to: book hotels, book guided tours/attractions, and make dining reservations. This is made possible thanks to the partnership with Viator, OpenTable, and Expedia. Everything can be done straight from the app for your convenience.

Fodor's City Guides was updated on Mar. 5, 2013 and currently has 39 customer ratings with an average rating of four out of five stars.

This is a great travel companion tool that helps give you inside information on a variety of cities. I especially like that I could make so many types of bookings straight from the app. Hopefully the developer will work to add more cities soon.

For: iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad with iOS 4.3 or later
