Now that I'm back from my Nova Scotia trip, I can give this a good review. This is a good guide, and the recommendations are mostly on point. I would have liked to have had more info on pet friendly levels of tourist attractions. I think some of the recommendations were better than others.

Still, this is a good place to get started if you're planning a trip in the Maritimes.

A good little guide that unlike the larger Atlantic book focuses only on Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and PEI, this book offers the same wealth of information in a smaller format. Each section offers the highlights along with suggestions for specific tours.
