Missing an important map

Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2008

Verified Purchase

The 2nd edition proved very useful for my last Newfoundland trip, so I bought the just-published 3rd edition for my next trip. But when I opened the book I discovered a major publishing error: the two-page map of Gros Morne National Park, one of Newfoundland's most important destinations, is missing. A map of a different park appears in its place. A few weeks after I informed Frommer's, they sent me a PDF version of the missing map. They also said they'd post it to the "updates" section of their web site, but as of June 2008 it still isn't there.

So, one star to Frommer's for their error and their failure to correct it months after learning of it. But five stars to Andrew Hempstead for the rest of the content, which is at least as good as that in the 2nd edition. Too bad he was let down by his publisher. If you're the kind of person who doesn't mind a Maine guidebook missing a map of Acadia National Park or an Arizona guidebook missing a map of the Grand Canyon area, feel free to purchase this.

Map error still not fixed

Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2009

Verified Purchase

I just purchased a copy of the Frommer's Newfoundland and Labrador guide book. Frommer's still hasn't fixed the map error on page 178-179. It still shows a map of Terra Nova National Park instead of Gros Morne National Park. And Frommer's still hasn't posted a corrected map in the updates section of their website. I was going to request a corrected copy via their website, but they wanted too much personal information to submit a request. I didn't want to be spammed with junk email and snail mail. I give Frommer's a big fat F in customer service.

Really Helped Plan Our Trip

Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2007

Verified Purchase

A combination of this book and the stuff I received directly from Newfoundland and Labrador Tourism helped me to plan our trip for this coming summer down to the minute (literally.) I found hotels, b&b's, ferries, historic spots, even restaurants, all with remarks that let me know things like how much time to schedule to tour somewhere to which room to ask for at a B&B.

NL is not an easy place to plan to visit - it takes a lot to get there (whether driving or flying) and there aren't many resources available to research well ahead of time. Online isn't too bad - but because most of what you find is run by the business/location itself, there are only going to be positive reviews; and many places don't list their prices on their websites.

Frommer's are always reliable; this one specifically was a real help.

I also recommend reading some other books about Newfoundland before going - the usual "The Shipping News" and "Theater of Fish."

Very well written. Just got through reviewing the trip planned for us by Maxxim Vacations. Will be very useful as we follow the itinerary they booked for us. Useful information. Great advice for getting the most out of the trip.

Newfoundland The Rock's Hidden Treasures

Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2008

Verified Purchase

Wow, can't believe I never reviewed this book before -- it's terrific in giving you an overview for Newfoundland. I did find that because the tourism and travel industry is updating so fast you need to supplement it with some online research. But overall it's a good guide to discovering the hidden treasures on the Rock. Newfoundland residents know how to not only be greateful but may be the rolemodels for sharing -- it was a fabulous Trip in 2006.

A very useful guide to Newfoundland

Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2013

Verified Purchase

I recently spent three weeks travelling around Newfoundland and constantly referred to this book. It has lots of handy information eg we were looking for the walking track to Steady Brook Falls and in the book it told us the track stated behind the Tim Hortons; we would never have found it otherwise. A very useful guide book.

Excellent coverage

Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2013

Verified Purchase

Excellent coverage of the areas in and outside of St. John, Good tips for Gros Morne National Park (Rocky Harbor), the northern peninsula, and the Irish Loop. I would expect similar results from the other areas that we did not visit.

The background information for each of the areas was just right.

On the whole a comprehensive and reliable reference.

Disappointing and not as useful as I'd hoped.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 12, 2015

Verified Purchase

This is the first time I've used a Frommer's guide book. There aren't many books covering Newfoundland and NS so this was a purchase of necessity rather than choice. Overall I wasn't impressed. I found the content superficial and not up to the standard of lonely Planet, Rough Guide or Footprint. From this experience I wouldn't choose Fromers again

Good guide for travel planning

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 15, 2015

Verified Purchase

I generally buy Rough Guides to help me plan holidays, but as there isn't one for Newfoundland, I bought this instead and found it very useful. It's got a lot of practical information and gave me a good flavour of what to expect form Newfoundland (I haven't gone yet, so I hope it's accurate!). It can't, however, touch Rough Guides when it comes to the culture & history sections, lacking all the RG's informality and enthusiasm. Recommended nonetheless

The perfect Newfoundland travel companion

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 22, 2013

Verified Purchase

We were finding it difficult to find a decent travel guide to Newfoundland, until we found this one. Written by a Canadian. If you want lots of pictures, this isn't for you but it is for you if you want to know a wee bit more of the history of the island, local tips, and what not to call Newfoundlanders. The book is split into 5 regions (one being Labrador) and has useful overview maps for each. It also provides suggested itineries dependent on your length of stay and whether you're travelling with children. It really was a perfect companion for our adventure to Newfoundland. Would definitely recommend it.

Great Information as usual

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 16, 2013

Verified Purchase

Frommer's Travel guides are the only ones we consider when travelling in America & Canada, because they are written by North Americans, who have good insider knowledge & their recommendations have never let us down for accommodations etc. They also have great ideas for hikes, & places to see that you might not pick up on yourself, as they aren't well known. We have never visited Atlantic Canada & found this, as usual, easy to use & well-ordered .
