    Helpful and Informative

    I bought this guidebook for a recent trip to Vancouver, BC. The information was invaluable and gave me many excellent tips for my travels. I highly recommend this guide even if you have been to Vancouver before, as I have, because there are so many good maps, ideas for day trips, hotels, restaurants, and most importantly, it is a wonderful source of information for travel to Canada (money, customs, weather, tipping, shopping, etc.). The maps of various neighborhoods, as well as a good city map, are outstanding with spots marked for easy reference and navigation around Vancouver and Victoria. Great book all the way around.
