3.0 out of 5 stars Better than nothing, but not the best guide book ever, June 1, 2009

By	A. Cleasby (Boston, MA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Having recently used the Eyewitness series of guide books in Italy, this book isn't in the same league. The organization, accuracy, and presentation are all less than perfect (and being unfamiliar in general with Montreal I can't comment on the coverage). It has the de rigeur sights, restaurants, and maps, but some maps don't have enough detail, and in one case, the location of a famous bagel store was off by a couple of blocks.

In short, buy this guide if you are going and can't find something better, but expect a few hiccups.

4.0 out of 5 stars Montreal & Quebec City, June 1, 2009

By	PM Carlos "World traveler" (Webster, TX) - See all my reviews

This book was extremely helpful for our recent visit to Canada. We ate at several of the recommended restaurants and used the walking tours in Old Montreal and Old Quebec. The maps were very helpful. I suggest marking out on the map sites you want to visit before you leave home. Some of the prices were out of date but the book was a very good guide to both cities. The subway system and pricing could be explained better. We bought more tickets than we needed. I checked several guide books before our trip and this was the best I found.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent guide, January 20, 2009

By	Lynn H. Weir (Gainesville, FL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Frommer's guides are generally the best overall guides. They provide insider information and "off the beaten path" options. This one is no exception. Well organized, easy to read, with lots little sidebars with unusual information.
