3.0 out of 5 stars Good, overall guide, but lacking on dining options, February 24, 2007

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.

If you're looking for a nitty gritty guide to Montreal, this will probably do. I'd recommend purchasing the Fodors Montreal and Quebec City 2008 in place of this guide. It is much more readable, has interesting tidbits on area history and includes a better layout.

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.
