Review

"Obviously fond of the great outdoors, the Fletchers take you off the highways and onto the back roads. . . where nice surprises await the unsuspecting traveler!"
--Jane Sadler, OttawaLife Magazine

2.0 out of 5 stars Not so Unique, Not so Off The Path, April 14, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Quebec Off the Beaten Path, 2nd: A Guide to Unique Places (Paperback)

Comparing this book with other books that also cover the same area (like Lonely Planet's Montreal Guide, or the excellent
Michelin Green Guide to Quebec), this book is pretty poor on
unique information. Almost all of the sites are listed on other tourist sources, and the majority of the 'off path' information consists of individual restaurant and B&B reviews. Almost of all of those are pretty glowing and effusive, and read like advertising copy.

The Green Guide has a lot more information all around and is better laid out for a very similar price.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quebec City in a day, July 1, 2001

This review is from: Quebec Off the Beaten Path: A Guide to Unique Places (Paperback)

Only being able to spend a few short days in Quebec City, this book gave me insight to all of the great little places to go. I loved all of the historical information. However, I wish it gave a few more restaurant suggestions because there are so many good places to eat in Quebec City.
