This is a MUST read book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Eyewitness Travel Guides Canada (Turtleback)
Years ago, as a child, I traveled with my family to Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. It was one of the best memories I have of my childhood. Flash forward to 30+ years later, I have since learned that my maternal grandfather was born and raised in Nova Scotia while doing my family tree; additionally, I have a distant cousin, whom I used to play with, now married and living in Nova Scotia. This summer I plan to visit Nova Scotia for the first time since my childhood. I bought this particular book over Fromer's and other similar travel book because this series of Eyewitness Travel Guides is THE BEST ever! It is very informative and up-to-date, something that other travel books lag on. Plus the stunningly beautiful photos in this book and detailed diagrams and maps of cultural and historical places really gives you a bird's eye view before you even get there! This book also provides information on the country of Canada as well as NS and PEI. I plan to use this book again and again for future travels to Canada. The best part of the book is the last section you should read first...the Survivor's Guide. It gives you practical information such as entry requirements, cash and currency, driving laws, emergency/medical information should you need it, and much more! DK Eyewitness writers constantly reviews and updates the information in this book! I highly recommend readers buy this book and pass it on to your family and friends! P.S. My NS cousin says this book is right on the money!

I Know I am Canadian ! - These Are Excellent Travel Books,
By
This review is from: Eyewitness Travel Guides Canada (Turtleback)
These are outstanding travel books. I first was introduced to them in Sweden, and I have beeen hooked on them since. I bought the Canadian version for friends - since I live here.The Trip: I would suggest that you buy one or two books before coming. Buy this book plus maybe a book of maps or similar. Book planes and trains in advance, and some accomodations. But once you are here you can reserve the balance of your rooms as you go. Some areas such as Ottawa are notorious for being difficult to book a room so book there in advance if possible. Toronto has lots of restaurants and good theatre and comedy. Montreal - atmoshere and dining. Usually it is not hard to get a room or bus or train tickets. But trans Canada travel book ahead. The Book: Getting back to the book, the main feature that differentiates these books from its competitors such as Lonely Planet Series are the excellent photographs. The photos jump off the pages all bright color, just excellent. Plus the book has cutaway views of interesting places, lots of notes on culture, accomodations, history, politics, maps, places to see, restaurants, etc. Also it has history time lines that show the historical milestones referencing people, politics and regions. The great graphics gives a better idea - before visiting - than say the Lonely Planet series or a similar series which are normally an equivalent book or even bigger but have more text and less pictures. Buy before you make your travel plans. Buy extra maps. Jack in Toronto

I LOVE it!,
By Tso - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Eyewitness Travel Guides Canada (Turtleback)
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. 17 of 19 people found the following review helpful
