5.0 out of 5 stars Rough Guide are the best all-round guide books, 29 Mar 2007
I had the previous version of this book and found it to be a great guide so we will be buying this one as we are going in August. Rough Guide are the best - they cater for people who want to splash out as well as those on a shoestring. I am consistently disappointed with the Lonely Planet books - they don't seem to visit the places they are talking about, reviews of places often don't give any info - e.g. 'the rooms are basic but clean and start at $14'. Rough Guide are the best. Time Out Vancouver is also very good if you want to know really good boutique hotels, restaurants etc, but Time Out guides aren't really all-round guides.

2.0 out of 5 stars Out of date and too sketchy, 30 Aug 2006
By Mr. Leszek S. Werenowski (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As others have pointed out this book is already out of date. I have returned from a visit to Toronto, Montreal, Quebec City and Nova Scotia and too often listings for restaurants and hotels were out of date or just wrong. In addition, the level of detail in this book was poor with areas I visited not being covered properly; the problem is I suspect that Canada is itself simply too vast to be properly covered by one book. The guide in general is not a particularly gripping read although the use of inserts about general or historical matters works well. You would do better to buy a guide that concentrates on the area (s) you are intending to visit.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Useful, 3 May 2006
By P. Elam "p_elam" (Leeds, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As the above review suggests, various parts of this were out of date - restaurants had closed, TTC fares have gone up to $2.75 in Toronto... but on the whole is was a very well written, informative and useful book. We planned a month round Canada with this and took it everywhere it went without ever needing extra maps, guides etc.

Recommended.
