Better than nothing, but not the best guide book ever,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Frommer's Montreal & Quebec City 2009 (Frommer's Complete Guides) (Paperback)
Having recently used the Eyewitness series of guide books in Italy, this book isn't in the same league. The organization, accuracy, and presentation are all less than perfect (and being unfamiliar in general with Montreal I can't comment on the coverage). It has the de rigeur sights, restaurants, and maps, but some maps don't have enough detail, and in one case, the location of a famous bagel store was off by a couple of blocks.
In short, buy this guide if you are going and can't find something better, but expect a few hiccups.

Montreal & Quebec City,

This review is from: Frommer's Montreal & Quebec City 2009 (Frommer's Complete Guides) (Paperback)
This book was extremely helpful for our recent visit to Canada. We ate at several of the recommended restaurants and used the walking tours in Old Montreal and Old Quebec. The maps were very helpful. I suggest marking out on the map sites you want to visit before you leave home. Some of the prices were out of date but the book was a very good guide to both cities. The subway system and pricing could be explained better. We bought more tickets than we needed. I checked several guide books before our trip and this was the best I found.

Great Info on Montreal and Quebec,

This review is from: Frommer's Montreal and Quebec City 2010 (Frommer's Complete Guides) (Paperback)
With the economy the way it is and airlines such a hassle my vacations have now become trips where driving is possible. I had never been to Montreal though I was aware of all its charm and offerings. I live in Boston and Montreal is a mere 6 1/2 hour drive away. I always do trip research on line and I found no one site that offered everything needed so I needed a good base with the most information and that turned out to be Frommers. Usually I use their site online but for this wanted everything in an easy to utilize book form. Thank goodness. What a treasure trove of info lies within these pages.
Frommers always does an excellent job on providing the history of the area the guide book is about and this book is no exception. All I can tell you is that it is a fully informative read and provides immensely useful info. They have always provided reliable, thorough hotel and restaurant reviews but this time I did need help on daily suggested itineraries and areas to visit. My favorite areas were Old Montreal and Downtown and they helped me to make the best of all areas. I ate at restaurants they suggested, stayed at a reviewed authentic small hotel with immense charm. I always feel that no matter how updated a guide book is you should double verify info at the applicable web sites online before traveling. Frommers helped me see what I was interested in doing and seeing and I then went to the actual sites for any updates. Frommers gives you the most concise info on an area to help you plan a trip compared to other travel guides and I have tries them all. I always return to Frommers and they have never let me down. Again they were essential in planning my trip and they made Montreal and Quebec that much better. Highly recommended. This book is a must but even with the best guide book check online for any changes to things like transit etc. Don't ever let a book lead you blindly but with Frommers you know they have done 90% of the work.
