Customer Reviews

Perfect travel book

This is the perfect book to carry along with you on a short trip. It slips easily into a pocket or bag, and covers all the highlights of sightseeing. It has a handy map that gets you to where you're going, and a decent description of the city. I like to use it in conjunction with larger and more descriptive travelbooks -- I'll read through them before I go and mark off interesting-sounding sights in the Citypack (or make notes in the margin). Then once I'm actually on the road, the Citypack serves as a good reminder of what I want to see, and lets me leave the heavy books at home.

HELPFUL!

I was so glad to have this with me on my week-long trip to Toronto!

Perfect Little Guide

This little guide book is just what I was hoping it would be. Just enough info to help me determine where to go and what to see, yet small enough to fit into my already over-crowded purse. There is a great little detailed map of the city that provided all the info I needed. The material is current, and even provided websites for some of the hotels I was considering,which helped tremendously.

A fine book and great for first time travelers

I mainly use and still buy Fodor's series for most of my traveling for ease of use of the book and familiarity. However, I do have to admit that the maps could be more detailed. For budget or more seasoned travelers who prefer a detailed map of the walking tours and do not need the section about how to pack and where to keep your passport try the awesome Lonely Planet or something else. On the historical stuff, I would say this book is just fine. On my next travel (not to Toronto) I'll try Let's Go and Frommer's, heard lots of goody stuff about them and never use them before.

Great Toronto info. guidebook.

Traveller's around the world count on these great books to guide them where others either won't or can't. I have personally reviewed this Toronto guidebook and as a lifelong resident here I learned some things about "my" city I never knew. What better testamonial do you need? Enjoy!
