5.0 out of 5 stars A fun and informative book for any "tourist!", April 9, 2000
By Carrie Calkins (California, USA) - See all my reviews
This book was wonderful, as soon as I opened it, I got excited about our family vacation. It has things for kids, adults and every age in between. It references costs, addresses, mileage and the "inside scoop" on nearly every place to visit in Vancouver, B.C. - Fantastic! ...A "Vancouver bible!"

4.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful!, August 29, 2001
By Becca Craven (Lake Stevens, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This book helped make my birthday weekend AMAZING. Instead of hanging out at all the standard tourist-y spots, we were surrounded by locals for most of the trip. This book made our trip, and next time we go somewhere, we're relying on the irreverent guide. (Restaurant guide was especially helpful, but the maps weren't so great...it took us forever to find Havana-but it was totally worth it)
