This is a clever travel book that take you through some great back door destinations. Great for people on a buget, or for those of us that want to go in luxury! This book is packed with Maps and pictures, and helped me and my family plan our trip to Vancouver.

Missing many natural sites for example Shannon Falls. Superficial mention of Richmond which has the best Chinese food in the area. The index is supremely awful ... as if completely generated by computer without any human intelligence involved.

I love travel guide books and depend on them heavily when arriving at a new destination. This is the first time I purchased a Frommer's and I hated it! A major site to see in Victoria is the Buchart Gardens (it's on the cover of the book) but try finding any information about it in the book! No directions on how to get there or anything. The book focused too much on shopping and not enough on sites to see (parks, etc.). Any good shopper can find a worthy store! Buy a lonely planet book on Victoria, if there is one.

I recomend this book, everything was curent, prices quoted in the book were acurate. They even convert the currency for you.
