Excellently presented
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.

Spiral Guides Rule
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!!

A 'must have'
Outstanding book, detailing the information you *really* need. Print quality is superb and the sections on planning trips according to the amount of time you have available is inspired. Gives the low-down on restaurants including prices, etc. Spiral binding is great and very practical when using 'in the field'. Thoroughly practical and highly recommended!
