5.0 out of 5 stars lonely planet, Vancouver, March 14, 2000

By A Customer

A very good book and a big help on our recient trip, but I do want to update one section in particular. We went up the tram to Grouse Mountain and were lucky to have a clear winter night and the view was spectacular, the snow, lit for skiers was a fairyland, the city below, a carpet of sparkling light, however, I would like to state that the restaurant was far better than you suggest. It has been renovated and has a new chef and management. It was terrific in every way, service, decor and food. While somewhat up-scale, it is well worth the cost. We told them we would let you know of the changes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Updated version - A great improvement, August 9, 2005

By	Emma Wischhusen (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Vancouver (City Guide) (Paperback)

I read reviews of the last version and the Lonely Planet people have really taken on board the feedback people gave. Its easy to read, VERY up to date and has some great additions. A great top 10 things to do in Vancouver, it details the top restaurants, good summaries of local areas etc. Its a brilliant overview and now we have our trip all maped out! Its well laid out and the use of color is helpful too. One of the best city guides I've seen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb book identifying the best the city has to offer, June 27, 1999

By A Customer

This is an excellent, well-written book which identifies the best that the city of Vancouver has to offer. It is clearly written with current references. The author has a smooth, exuberant style which makes the book a "keeper". Highly recommended for both tourists and natives alike.
