Book Description

May 30, 2006
You'll never fall into the tourist traps when you travel with Frommer's. It's like having a friend show you around, taking you to the places locals like best. Our expert authors have already gone everywhere you might go--they've done the legwork for you, and they're not afraid to tell it like it is, saving you time and money. No other series offers candid reviews of so many hotels and restaurants in all price ranges. Every Frommer's Travel Guide is up-to-date, with exact prices for everything, dozens of color maps, and exciting coverage of sports, shopping, and nightlife. You'd be lost without us!

Come along with Frommer's Canada and discover some of North America's most spectacular scenery, from the towering peaks of the Rockies to the rustic fishing villages of Nova Scotia. Much more comprehensive than the competition, Frommer's covers all the major cities: Vancouver's hip galleries, dining, and nightlife; the art museums and architectural highlights of Toronto; Calgary's wild and woolly Stampede; and Montréal's charming French bistros and cafes. And of course, we'll show you the very best of Canada's great outdoors, from hiking in the national parks to biking its lovely backroads. Along the way, we'll point out all the best places to spot puffins, whales, polar bears, moose, elk, and more.

Our expert authors have logged thousands of miles throughout Canada. They reveal their favorite places and experiences, and offer unbiased practical advice that will help you plan the trip that's right for you, no matter what your budget.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good information, August 20, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
As per Frommer's usual, this was an inclusive and informative book. We were looking at traveling to many of the National and Provincial Parks and found good information.

2.0 out of 5 stars fine, but quite useless and not very accurate, August 5, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This guide is lacking too many things for me to perceive it useful. First, the pricing is not accurate. Even though it's claimed to be published this year, the prices for the hotels and restaurants were as much as 2 times off the values we encountered during the trip in June. Second, it has very little "cultural" component. The description of the cities is mostly devoted to the hotels and restaurants, which I find to be much easier to inquire about in the internet (plus, it's not very accurate, even forgetting about the weird prices, I mentioned earlier). Information on history and peculiarities of such the cities as Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto is presented on 2 pages and is quite boring and incomplete, compared to wikitravel, e.g.. Overall, even though it's written in a fine style and is pleasant in outlook, the book turned out to be completely useless during the travel and we couldn't avoid reading wikitravel + googling for hotels.

I found this travel review somewhat lacking. A friend loaned us a similar book from another company which was much more complete and professionally done.
