5.0 out of 5 stars
Great advice for vacationers to Canada,
By A Customer
This review is from: QUICK ESCAPES TORONTO, 2nd Edition (Quick Escapes) (Paperback)
I purchased this book for a recent vacation to Toronto, and after reading through the getaways narrowed it down to three due to limited time. All the advice in the book was extremely helpful, including much needed directions. The lists of things to do, restaurants, and hotels covered a wide range that would appeal to everyone. This book is a great choice if you don't want to waste your limited time while visiting the toronto area!
