This is my second trip to Vancouver (after a good 15 years+ ago). I need a good comprehensive small book easy to carry, day-by-day suggestion to include Whistler and the Olympic site connection. This small guide book fit the bill.

Vancouver is a blast with a very very good public transportation (no need to rent a car if you stay in down town) and people are very friendly and courteous ( a few country left with this kind of attitude, Greece included). Do rent a bike to explore Stanley Park, very reasonable for $20/half day. Do wonder on your own (not joining bus tour); it is a safe place. If you want to go to skiing in Whistler, get a ski package deal from Greyhound bus (from downtown only 2 train stops away.

I purchased this for our 8 day trip to Whistler, Victoria, and Vancouver BC. It was incredibly helpful. We have 2 children (aged 10 and 7), and this guide provided something for everyone. The information was accurate and helpful. It even highlighted spots to visit that are a little off the beaten path, and not full of tourists. I thoroughly recommend this guide to anyone traveling to Vancouver and surrounding area. It has foodie tours, shopping tours, walking tours, day tours, architecture tours, winter in Whistler, Summer in whistler......super helpful. Look no more, this is the guide you need.
