Lonely Planet Canada: Plan the Trip of a Lifetime | Detailed Itineraries & Maps | Insider Tips | Covers British Columbia, Quebec, Alberta and more (Travel Guide)

This was a Christmas present for my son and he was very pleased he got the book and found it interesting.

Very detailed and useful for an extended trip to Canada

Was a gift for my husband for an upcoming trip to Canada, very informative and will be a useful guide.

It's been quite a few years since we visited Canada and it was just a small part for our honeymoon and we've been planning on returning in the next year for a significant birthday for my wife so this guide will be great for helping to plan it and to use whilst we're there. We've always used Lonely Planet guides for holidays whether short or long and have always found them to be invaluable, however the latest editions are proving to be a bit of a mixed bag as the format hasn't been to my liking for some of the books we've had and others have been more useful. I found this latest edition for Canada to be very good with some information and then lacking in others, especially when it comes to details for some cities and whilst our last trip was only to a few places, it's because I have previous experience that allows me to see that quite a lot of detail has been omitted. I think with this being more of an online age these guides are just that in that they guide you around a country and expect you to fill in the gaps of places you're interested in by looking online. Don't get me wrong, I think this is still an invaluable guide and provides lots of useful information, pictures and a pull out map, but rather than being the full guide these books used to be they feel more like a starting point and something to accompany you whilst you get the finer detail via your PC or phone. In summary, it's quite a good guide and it will serve it's purpose, but we'll still need other sources of information before and during our next trip to Canada.

Clear valid information

Brilliant guide with lots of useful tips and tricks I can use for my upcoming holiday. It’s given me lots of inspiration.

really useful book with lots of ideas of places to visit. we are busy planning our trip with thanks to this book

Oh lonely planet why did you ditch the history section when you sold out to the US?! Shame. Rough Guide much better balance

Lonely Planet does a great job, but this latest edition of their Canada guide has been dumbed-down from its previous edition in a clear attempt to appeal to younger travelers. Nothing "wrong" with that, just disappointing, since the earlier edition had set such a high standard for serious adult travelers. I'm keeping both editions, but this latest attempt to be "trendy" was disappointing to me.

Das Buch ist leider definitiv gebraucht. Das Buch fühlt sich "speckig" an. Es sind graue Punkte oben auf dem Cover, die man wegwischen kann. Das Buch ist "gebogen", was man auf der Seite sieht und es ist allgemein super schade, dass man mir den vollen Neupreis berechnet und dann sowas verschickt. Dann sollte man zumindest mit offenen Karten spielen und den Preis anpassen, wenn man gebrauchte Ware verkauft.

Great to research before I travel

Utilissimo

Ich habe so viele wundervolle alte Lonely Planets. Leider sind diese, nachdem der Verlag übernommen wurde und das neue Management fast alle Leute gefeuert hat, um mehr Geld zu machen, nur noch oberflächlich und langweilig. Die ganzen tollen Empfehlungen für Restaurants, Hotels, off the beaten track etc. sind komplett weg. Ich werde dieses Buch zurückschicken, weil es unbrauchbar ist. Diese Infos kann ich mir auch selbst in 5 Minuten zusammen googeln oder auf Instagram suchen. So schade.
