3.0 out of 5 stars Great book for a general overview of Canada, March 11, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The National Geographic Traveler: Canada (Paperback)

National Geographic Traveler's Canada gives a great broad look at Canada's cities and their highlights. As with any National Geographic series book, its full with rich pictures of the various sights. Included are good driving destinations for scenic tours. However, this book is definitely not the be-all and end-all of Canadian Travel. It does not give a detailed look at any of the cities, and should be really only used as a starter for more research into what you plan on doing and where. But then again, how can anyone expect a concise travel guide on such a large country in only 400 pages?

Very useful guide even though it's a few years old. Coordinate with current maps to double check that route is still in tact. Gives good suggestions on sights to take in.
