Vancouver and Canadian Rockies (AA Spiral Guide S.) (Book)

Customer Rating:
Reviews:

"I wouldnt go anyway without my spiral guide and this holiday was no exception (Visited BC & Alberta indepentely during May/June 2003).

I converted to these guides some three years ago. I love the layout and siz of the guide - fits in your pocket nicely. It has a splashproof cover and the two flaps make great bookmarkers.

As for the contents, for this trip I found there was enough information for the larger tourist areas to point me in the right direction.

These guides are much easier to read than Lonely Planet if you want a good (but still comprehensive) overview.
I particuarly love the hints and tips for the 'must sees'.

Would highly recommend this guide and it has already been loaned to my friend for her forthcoming visit!!" Before Home exchanging a Alternative Vacation Apartment in Canada, I would read this book while in Canada.

"This is a lively, enthusiatic guide to travelling around Vancoucer, Victoria and the Rockies. It includes detail maps of all the key areas including Vancouver itself and also has area maps with areas of particular interest clearly marked. I used this guide in conjunction with The Rough Guide for a recent 14 day fly-drive holiday and it didn't let me down. The highlight of the book is detailing suggested routes whether you're going for 1 week or 4 weeks. This allows you to squeeze as much out of your trip as possible." If you are thinking about Home exchanging a Vacation Villas in Canada, I would buy this book to take with you while in Canada.

"I bought this book because of the reviews, and because it sounded like a practical little guide. I can happily report that it's stood up to scrutiny, and will form part of our hand luggage on the flight to Calgary in a couple of weeks time.

It doesn't go into huge detail on different places, but that's not the point of it - it's a good little book to give you ideas about what to do, where to go and so on. It doesn't go into particular detail on the Kootenays region, but I'd say it's an essential book for those wanting to plan a road trip between Calgary and Vancouver, or for people looking to get an overview of a very large area." Why not buy this book, and read while on your Alternative Vacation in Canada. It would be so usefull when you Home Exchange a Alternative Vacation Property in Canada.

Lonely Planet Canada (Lonely Planet Country & Regional Guides) (Book)

Customer Rating:
Reviews:

"I used the lonely planet Canada for travelling from the West Coast to the East Coast. In most places I found that it gave me all the information that I needed on hostels and places to eat.

The section on the Canadain Rockies was not so good, and an extra guide book is recommened.

On the negative side of this book is that some of the maps are incorrect and I found myself walking the wrong way.

I don't have anything to compare the book to, but it did the job for me." Before Home exchanging a Vocation or Holiday Apartment in Canada, I would read this book while in Canada.

"The only book you'll ever need, with information on Ski resorts in BC to Niagra Falls, it's all in here and more...." Before Home exchanging a Vacation Cottage in Canada, I would read this book while in Canada.

"If you are planning a trip to Canadian cities then this guide probably provides the information you require. If, on the other hand, you are visiting for the real draw of Canada, the magnificent scenery and outdoor sports opportunities then it is sadly lacking. There is virtually no coverage of the country, other than a few paying attractions. LPs occasionally slip into writing guidebooks by phoneing a lot of people and not actually visiting, that seems to be the case for most of Alberta and British Columbia.
As a devotee of LP I found this very disapointing, I would have gleened as much information from a good road atlas!" www.HomeIsAway.com great Vacation Property to Home Exchange in Canada.

The Rough Guide to Canada (fully revised and updated 5th edition) (Book)

Customer Rating:
Reviews:

"A very good guide to Canada - last year ('97) I drove through middle and western Canada and this was the best of the three books I bought. Generally on-target descriptions and commentary of what's worth seeing and what's worth avoiding. More geared towards low and mid budgets." Before Home exchanging a Alternative Holiday House in Canada, I would buy this book to guide you round the local areas in Canada.

"Beware! Amazon says this was published in January 2005, but the publication date given in the book is actually June 2004. So when I take my trip to Canada, it'll be nearly a year out of date, rather than just a couple of months. A year can make a big difference - prices change, hotels and restaurants open and close, new attractions spring up, etc. A bit disappointing. Will Amazon correct this???"

"A foot wide and eleven feet tall IS a weird shape for a chart, but I find it to be very enjoyable because it shows the whole inside passage in detail. Where else can you find something like this?
