2.0 out of 5 stars Book Lacking Some Top Attractions, September 15, 2008

This review is from: Frommer's Nova Scotia, New Brunswick & Prince Edward Island (Frommer's Complete Guides) (Paperback)

Unfortunately, Frommer's NS, NB, & PEI Tour Book lacks some top attractions. For example, it is unforgivable that it does not mention Founder's Hall (one of the best museums, if not the best, devoted to the history of Canada)on PEI. Another example is its failure to mention Woodleigh (recently out of business due to the illness of the owner, but in operation when the book was published), also on PEI.

very limited information about Nova Scotia. I have used many guide books in the past and this one was a real disappointment ! In some regards actually found the AAA guide to be more useful,,,

2.0 out of 5 stars Dissapointing for a Frommer's Guide, February 8, 2011

By

This review is from: Frommer's Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island (Frommer's Complete Guides) (Paperback)

I usually like the Frommer guides, but felt that this guide was really lacking in many respects. Both the Moon Atlantic Canada and Lonely Planet guides provide more detailed information. We are going to Nova Scotia and PEI for our second visit and wanted more information on the specific sites, accomodations, and restaurants. This guide doesn't list as many towns in the regions and therefore lacks associated info. While I purchased this guide for the previous trip, I will purchase the Moon guide for this trip.
