Customer Reviews

Great book!

This book is great, chocked full of information in a compact volume that covers a surprising number of areas (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI, Newfoundland and Labrador) with great detail. Geared towards the budget traveler looking for a personalized trip, this volume has detailed information about food, accomodations, camping, hiking, historical information, maps, photos (ok, they are mostly B & W), an internet resource index and listings of many other regional highlights. The book is not like a 'Fodors' or 'Michelin' which are of a different sort of tour guide than this book.

Best Travel Guide for this region

This is the best guide for this region with comprehensive listings for accomodations, restaurants and places to see. It is very detailed including information on the little known islands belonging to France just off the Canandian coast (several guides exclude these). Moon, which is almost always excellent, maintains their high quality in this book. ALso it contains highlights and suggestions slightly out of the ordinary for the adventuresome traveler.

Excellent Guide to Canada's Atlantic corners....

"Moon Handbooks: Atlantic Canada" is a excellent planning and touring resource for the Canadian provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland, and Labrador. This guide follows the familar Moon Handbook format, featuring color and black & white maps and photographs wrapped around an informative travel narrative especially well-suited for automobile touring. Atlantic Canada offers miles of rugged coastline, sprinkled with towns and villages that are often quite old, dated back to the European settlement of North America and especially to the wars of France and England over their American colonies. Among the highlights for this reviewer: The 18th century fortress of Louisberg and the rugged Cape Breton Highlands in Nova Scotia; the beautiful golf courses and the gentle mania associated with the children's story "Anne of Green Gables" on Prince Edward Island; the old New Brunswick city of Saint John, and the unspoiled hinterland behind it; and the rugged coasts of Newfoundland and Labrador, there to greet visitors to the New World from the Vikings to the present. "Moon Handbooks: Atlantic Canada" is very highly recommended to those travelers planning a trip to the region, a beautiful and often overlooked portion of Canada.
