Fodor's Toronto 2004 (Fodor's Toronto)

Rating:
Summary: decent, but not great
Review: Fodor's guidebooks are decent in that they provide short, simple facts and info on destinations. The Toronto guidebook is no different. The big complaint is the lack of good maps (though i can't be too picky, you can't really rely on maps in a paperback guidebook!). I tend to prefer frommer's guides, as i find their recommendations to be more bang on, and to my budget. I recommend using a combination of good guidebooks like frommers and Let's Go, in addition to the traveler-submitted hotel review sites like www.zoomandgo.com, or the ones on travelocity.

Summary: A fine book and great for first time travelers
Review: 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.

Summary: Not for the budget traveller.
Review: The Fordor guides are a good source for the various locations around the globe. They are not as good as the Arthur Frommer guides. The Fodor guides are not for the budget traveler. They focus on the pricer accomodations and restuarants. But, what they do rate there is a wonderful detailed description. The maps could be a little more detailed.
