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 have a number of quibbles with this guide. Coverage of Montreal and Toronto is very skimpy, as well as the areas beyond the Great Lakes (which isn’t covered in too much detail), particularly the Northern and Central parts. The great photos do save it quite a bit, though. I hope that next time, DK can make a better guide!

Beware Rocky Mountaineer Vacations!
We booked a day trip to Whistler with them and when we arrived at the destination found they had failed to organize any of the events promised and we were left having to pay for a Greyhound bus home. It also turns out the package was very over priced. They eventually offered us only a 30% refund. Perhaps if we had used a book like this we would have spotted the alternatives.

Consistent with all the DK Guides we have purchased, their Canada Guide is comprehensive, accurate, and current.
