 Another Excellent DK Guide September 29, 2007
Consistent with all the DK Guides we have purchased, their Canada Guide is comprehensive, accurate, and current.
Great guide August 13, 2007
The guide proved to be a very useful source for our trip to Eastern Canada.
Instead of travelling - almost like travelling May 23, 2007
I have just recently received this book and went through it and of course liked it a lot. I was in Toronto,Montreal, Niagra Falls and it was so nice to go through those places through the book and also checking the other places where I had no chance to go. I like these Eyewitness travel guides how they are build , they give a nice overview on a country or city and of course the lovely photoes and drawings those help a lot.
This is my 32.nd book from this travel guide series and I was not disappointed by buying this one also.
 Not Perfect! March 24, 2006

This is a very attractive book with lots good pictures and information on countryside, historical sites and so such. However, it contains almost nothing on modern Canada and its cities and also doesn't have much information on Northern Canada. This book is fine for the tourist who only wishes to see historic buildings and Niagra Falls but not very good anyone else. The maps and and information on accomadation, restaurants and so on is also not particularly good, as with most Eyewitness guides.
I LOVE it! April 11, 2005

I just came back from a trip to Canada where I toured Toronto, Montreal, Quebec City and Niagara Falls. Before I depart for this trip, I spent a lot of time in bookstore and my friend and I finally settle down with a Insight tour book and this one. We plan on using Insight for Montreal and Quebec, then the rest with DK. As it turns out, my Insight is completely useless. Despite good story telling, it is totally useless when it comes touring around the place, not to mention mistakes everywhere in the book, even in map they messed up a major road. In the end, we used only DK for the entire trip.
In the end, we relied heavily on this book, and find it a great resourse. The colorful pictures gives us an idea of what to expect, and have a feeling of how the city is really like. Also, the descriptions are fairly well-placed, we need not go through the whole book to look for a particular tour site (like the Discovery one). Essential information are listed clearly, and it even contains visiting tour plans.
I just hope that DK can have a book for Quebec province on its own. It is such a beautiful place, I think it deserves a book to itself.
