I had the previous version of this book and found it to be a great guide so we will be buying this one as we are going in August. Rough Guide are the best - they cater for people who want to splash out as well as those on a shoestring. I am consistently disappointed with the Lonely Planet books - they don't seem to visit the places they are talking about, reviews of places often don't give any info - e.g. 'the rooms are basic but clean and start at $14'. Rough Guide are the best. Time Out Vancouver is also very good if you want to know really good boutique hotels, restaurants etc, but Time Out guides aren't really all-round guides.

I liked: most of the pictures, the fact it's spiral bound and therefore stays open when you want it to, some of the walks, the attempt at prioritisation of things to do/see, the sections on "do X in Y days" and the fact that it covered the Rockies as well as BC.
I didn't like: the level of detail, which I found poor, the fact that the things to do/places to stay/places to eat sections were landscape while the rest of the book was portrait (and ran over 2 pages which made it confusing to read), the lack of info on routes and driving in Canada. I found my Rough Guide to Canada much more useful and more detailed on BC and the Rockies even though it covered the whole of the country. Worth getting only if you think "Canada's ...

I tried this as a change from Lonely Planet and I must say, I am absolutely disgusted at it. There is lazy research through out and innaccurate descriptions of many places that do not reflect how lovely some locations are or give an indication of what you can actually do there. I guess this is just literally for the interrailler market and as of such it is very superficial.

Bought this only after carefully reviewing what was available and initially thought I'd made a great choice. The book was updated in 2008, is well laid-out, with 'Where to Eat' sections after each location. I did get some very useful info from the book, but even on my first day in Rome I started to notice errors and inadequacies.
First off, you now pay into the Forum - the book suggests that entrance is free and that you only need pay into the Palatine. Granted the Forum charge covers the Palatine but it is still a glaring error. Secondly, although a small map of the vast Forum area is supplied, it is very poorly labelled and lacks any useful detail - this is one of the major sites in ancient Rome and merits a lot more information.

I took this book along with others to Tuscany - my first visit. We were staying in the middle of Chiantishire and found the book invaluable and for our limited time there, accurate. There are detailed descriptions of Florence and Siena but also some helpful guidance on the Tuscany villages. Useful because the villages take time to get to and we needed to prioritise. Very accurate about the restaurants and trattorias we used.

The Rough Guide to Canada (fully revised and updated 5th edition)by: Tim Jepson, Phil Lee, Tania Smith, Christian Williams June 24, 2004 |

As others have pointed out this book is already out of date. I have returned from a visit to Toronto, Montreal, Quebec City and Nova Scotia and too often listings for restaurants and hotels were out of date or just wrong. In addition, the level of detail in this book was poor with areas I visited not being covered properly; the problem is I suspect that Canada is itself simply too vast to be properly covered by one book. The guide in general is not a particularly gripping read although the use of inserts about general or historical matters works well. You would do better to buy a guide that concentrates on the area (s) you are intending to visit.
