I'm definitely carrying this book with me this summer in Quebec!

[Todd Smith · Rating 4 out of 5]

Montreal and Quebec City are filled with history and culture. This includes world-class museums, art galleries, historic churches, châteaux, landscaped parks, and year-round festivals.

The book includes detailed descriptions of Parc du Mont-Royal, Basilique Notre-Dame, Parc Olympique, Musée Pointe-à-Callière, Musée des Beaux-Arts de Montréal, La Citadelle, Musée de la Civilisation de Québec, Basilique Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré, Île d’Orléans and Les Laurentides.

This book includes information on family activities which I will definitely use in our exploration of these two cities.

The book also has a pull-out map and neighborhood maps to help you navigate these cities.

Great resource for traveling a city! Loved having a map and recommendations in my back pocket as we meandered a new place. Cities are dynamic so the version I had was from 2017, but the basics were all there. Would recommend.

The Top 10 highlights give an overview of the main attractions. Then there is a specific top 10, for example, museums and art galleries etc. I love the Around Town section which breaks down the city by area giving you a little map with what DK view as the top 10 sights to consider visiting.

Walking exploration tour options give ideas to people who want to semi-plan/meander around. The guidebook does let you know what websites to visit for more information, but on the whole this is about travelling independently - from choosing a flight company to getting a bus.

DK doesn't try to be trendy, instead it is accessible to everyone with a spirit of adventure.

Good as a source of inspiration. But not comprehensive enough to be a "stand-alone" travel guide.

It got us to where we wanted, and it gave us ideas of places to visit! What more do you need from a travel guide?

[Rashelle · Rating 2 out of 5]

Not as much information as I had hoped. There should have been more talk about the underground city and its passageways.

Nice book for travelers seeking to visit these two destination cities. Lovely pictures and good ratings of what to see and where to eat and stay. Always can rely on these travel books.

This was the most useful guidebook I borrowed from the library for preparation for my trip to Montréal!

Great ideas for a quick trip to Quebec. Must add Montreal to the next itinerary.
