Fodor's Vancouver & Victoria: with Whistler, Vancouver Island & the Okanagan Valley (Full-color Travel Guide) Paperback – June 20, 2017

Very well written and detailed book to help guide you on where to go and what to see if you’re new to the Vancouver/Victoria area.

I live in northern WA state about 13 miles from the Canadian border and a 45-minutes drive from Vancouver. I've visited both Vancouver and Victoria a number of times, so I was curious to see what Fodor's guide would recommend.This is a good comprehensive guide -- not too detailed, but it hits most of the "must see" spots in both cities. The two cities are very different, and not just in terms of size. Victoria, the capital of British Columbia, always "feels" more British to me, a little more formal. Vancouver is more eclectic, more cosmopolitan. I like both, but I find myself drawn to Victoria more often.That said, if you are planning your first visit to either city, this is a good guide to start with. Everything seems to be current -- restaurants, major attractions, etc. -- and the recommendations for what time of year to explore the area is spot on.I'll be taking another trip to Victoria in a few weeks and plan to check out a few places I haven't yet explored. I always like finding new areas to visit -- and this couldn't have come at a better time. Good stuff, for sure.

Just returned from trip to Vancouver, Victoria and elsewhere on Vancouver Island. Book was useful at times, but I was somewhat disappointed with it. One of the keys to a book like this is a full index, but the one here is skimpy. Would have liked fuller coverage of Vancouver Island

It was very informative.

Ok good, very detail information on vancouver

Full of information and pictures, an easy read.

Book was fine as a used book. Pages were clean, and no significant markings or anything.

Of all the Fodor guides, this is the weakest I have encountered. Seems to just repeat the same information over and over.The following comment applies to most travel guides, this one is particularly weak in this area. I am a photographer, and I want to know the best locations and time of day for great images. Are there any resources for photographers in the area?I am visiting Vancouver to make great images, hotels and restaurants are of secondary importance. Descriptions of attractions are too sketchy!
