Excellent hints.......2007-08-13
We just returned from our trip to the Quebec province and the guide was very useful and informative, not only on the sites, but also on restaurants, activities and others. The only thing it should contain and did not is information on the area's national parks and other nature areas of interest, which info we found locally from tourist info centers.
Overall very good and useful.
Terrific Reference for Travelers.......2007-04-24
We planned a trip and traveled to Montreal and Quebec. While we often rely on our GPSr to give us landmarks, places of interest, and dining spots, we found this guide was indispensable for giving more detail than we could get from the GPSr, and enabled us to make good choices for our eating and sightseeing. We also chose a splendid Hotel in Vieux Quebec that was both a bargain and a delight worth many times the price of a night.
The price of the book will be returned many times over in the quality of experiences you have while visiting Montreal and Quebec!
Good, overall guide, but lacking on dining options.......2007-02-24
This is a great guide for those who haven't yet been to Quebec City. It gives general information on the top sites, hotels and dining in the area. I would have liked to see, however, more dining options and a larger section on traveling to Quebec City with kids. Also, there is a whole vacation rental business in the city, mostly apartments, that is a great way to travel and less expensive than hotels. The guide never even mentions this option.

Portable and usable but not great.......2007-07-29
This book hits the basics but could be organized in a more intuitive, user-friendly fashion. I used this book to supplement Moon Handbooks Alberta for a recent trip to the province.
Decent book.......2006-03-10
Although the book does not contain exactly what I was looking for (detail highway maps)I found the information very helpful for a planned trip.
Comprehensive Park Guide.......2006-02-22
I have used the Canada guide in the past when visiting Banff, but this book provides more in depth coverage of the parks (Banff and Jasper). If your primary visit is to these places, I would recommend this book as an excellent guide!
Frommer's Banff & Jasper National Parks.......2004-08-30
This was almost the only book I followed during my vacation to Banff and Jasper. This books is packed with tips, travel plans and a ton of information for your Canadian Rockies tour. Its a great book!

Incomplete.......2007-08-03
I was very puzzled. A number of hotels were not listed, nor were quite likely the majority of restaurants. In the former category I would offer the Raddison Admiral which I like mostly for its location. Of the latter, for instance, only 4 Indian restaurants were listed: standing in front of one of them I counted 7 (in about a block).
Makes me wonder: What gets an establishment into a guide book?
Good map, some some info is wrong.......2007-06-25
I LOVED the pull out map with places to visit on it. However, two of the restaurants we tried to visit weren't there anymore- and one of them hadn't been open "in years", according to a local. Fodor's Toronto was better.

Good for city travel.......2002-05-22
Frommers now has numerous books that cover British Columbia as part of larger guides. I have the British Columbia/Canadian Rockies one, but they all contain the same text, which has been repackaged into different titles. As to this book itself, the layout is easy to find your way around and the information is reliable and has obviously been well researched. The hotel listings are especially detailed, down to descriptions of inroom curtains. This formula obviously appeals to many travelers and while I often pass up their hotel listings (too expensive for me), their restaurant descriptions are extremely helpful for me when on the road. They often describe actual dishes giving me a great feel of what to expect in each restaurant.
On the downside, so much space is given to accommodations and restaurants that the most important part of traveling is as good as ignored-what there is to see and do. The reason I travel and that BC is so popular as a destination is the great outdoors. I want to read about what there is do and what to see-the best hiking trails in the national parks, why it's worth my money to go whalewatching, etc. Many marvelous places in the province are missing completely. The book also lacks photos and the maps are poor or outdated (nothing that a good map from a gas station will fix!).
In conclusion, I like the look and feel of the Frommers book and have found that I can rely it when it comes to dining information. I always carry the Moon book as a reference for the ins and outs of each town and together the two books make perfect partners for my travels.
The best part of Canada!.......2000-08-02
I am just several days before spending my holiday in British Columbia and the Canadian rockies, and this book really gives a lot of pre-fun. Very informative, very useful information (with places to stay, places to dine, must see attractions etc.) and an enthusiastic style make it a pleasure to read. I am sure that it will be of great value for every tourist who will visit this part of Canada.

Really Helped Plan Our Trip.......2007-03-27
A combination of this book and the stuff I received directly from Newfoundland and Labrador Tourism helped me to plan our trip for this coming summer down to the minute (literally.) I found hotels, b&b's, ferries, historic spots, even restaurants, all with remarks that let me know things like how much time to schedule to tour somewhere to which room to ask for at a B&B.
NL is not an easy place to plan to visit - it takes a lot to get there (whether driving or flying) and there aren't many resources available to research well ahead of time. Online isn't too bad - but because most of what you find is run by the business/location itself, there are only going to be positive reviews; and many places don't list their prices on their websites.
Frommer's are always reliable; this one specifically was a real help.
I also recommend reading some other books about Newfoundland before going - the usual "The Shipping News" and "Theater of Fish."
