"Comprehensive" -- Washington Post, 5/2001 --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description
Completely updated every year (unlike most of the competition), Frommer's Toronto is written by a native who'll show you all the highlights and hidden pleasures of this fascinating city. She's inspected countless hotels and selected the most inviting places to stay for every taste and budget: historic downtown hotels, best bets for families, romantic inns, and more. She'll also show you the best of Toronto's multicultural dining scene, from elegant French bistros and Italian trattorias to eclectic spots for Asian, Greek, and fusion cuisines.

With Frommer's in hand, you won't miss any of the fun, from Harbourfront Centre, the Metropolitan Zoo, and Skydome to art museums, markets, festivals, neighborhood strolls, and ferries to nearby islands -- plus biking, boating, cross-country skiing, ice-skating, and swimming. It's all here, in one reliable, easy-to-use guide, packed with neighborhood maps, exact prices, and logistical tips.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Reference on Canada's Largest City, June 5, 2002
By Luis Hernandez (New York, New York, USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Resourceful, handy, and full of important travel reference, "Frommers Toronto" by Hilary Davidson is a good book to have when traveling to Canada's largest city. Full of maps, suggested itineraries, and the names and addresses of many local establishments, this book came handy when I traveled to Toronto back in October 2000.

While I consider this book a good buy and reference, I am more biased when it comes top travel guides, I highly recommend Lonely Planet's guide to the city. Lonely Planet is an excellent series because it is full of information that not only will benefit you during your stay in Toronto, but also comes in handy when preplanning your trip. Whether you want to learn about entry requirements or more about the city's history and culture, Lonely Planet in my opinion ranks supreme in the travel book industry. Frommer's is a great series, but I feel that it is geared more to travelers 35 years and above, whereas Lonely Planet covers the young adult market.

Still a good book, Frommer's will make your stay in Toronto a pleasant one. Try it, you won't be disappointed.

2.0 out of 5 stars Was not a useful reference, July 10, 2004
By Purple Grimmus (Valencia, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Frommer's Toronto 2004 (Paperback)
The usual reason to buy a travel book like this is to get some insights about places to visit and use the map to figure out how to get to those places. Unfortunately, the maps in this book aren't always correct. We had tickets to Mama Mia at the Royal Alexandra. The book justs insists that the RA is on the wrong side of Simcoe. Luckily there were plenty of banners hanging along King Street to guide us in the right direction. Still, I was a little more gunshy about all of the Frommer's recommendations after this. Some of the dining recommendations were good but some just made no sense (a highly recommended seemed mediocre and overhyped). The layout of the book means that there is never a single map to show you where both the restaurants and attractions are. Each is relegated to its own section. Due to the Royal Alex mishap, Frommers got relegated to the hotel room and we just used the freebie Hertz map we got when renting the car. And tripadvisor.com got consulted for all attaction advice.

Luckily the book is cheap so I wasn't out much money. But with the wealth of web resources, I would either just rely on the web or buy one of the other travel companies books.

2.0 out of 5 stars Incomplete, August 2, 2007
I was very puzzled. A number of hotels were not listed, nor were quite likely the majority of restaurants. In the former category I would offer the Raddison Admiral which I like mostly for its location. Of the latter, for instance, only 4 Indian restaurants were listed: standing in front of one of them I counted 7 (in about a block).

Makes me wonder: What gets an establishment into a guide book?
