Vancouver: The Ultimate Guide: Including Whistler & the Gulf Islands (Vancouver Guide: The Ultimate Guide, 5th Ed. Rev and Expanded)

Rating:
Summary: Ok coverage, but boring
Review: This book sounded good when I ordered it, but after receiving it, I was a bit disappointed. The layout of the book is at times confusing, and always unexciting. I find this book geared toward an older, wealthier crowd than most. I wish it had the style of Let's Go or Lonely Planet. The small section about Vancouver in the Lonely Planet Canada guide has as much helpful information as in the entirety of this guide. I would recommend purchasing the Lonely Planet Vancouver guide, as it is much more helpful.

Summary: You will feel like an insider
Review: This travel book is very good and easy to read. It covers basically all the major attractions in Vancouver and it even gives you a list of the top ten activities not to miss. For every single attraction, you will find detailed description on how to get there (either by car or by taking the public bus), the admission fee, hours of service, and a phone number. The book includes about ten maps that are absolutely great. You will also find the information on restaurants very useful. They organize them by location, by cuisine, and by price range. This book is a great travel planner you will like to read before visiting Vancouver. And, do not forget to bring your umbrella and your rain jacket!
