 Excellent guide January 20, 2009

Frommer's guides are generally the best overall guides. They provide insider information and "off the beaten path" options. This one is no exception. Well organized, easy to read, with lots little sidebars with unusual information.

This book was extremely helpful for our recent visit to Canada. We ate at several of the recommended restaurants and used the walking tours in Old Montreal and Old Quebec. The maps were very helpful. I suggest marking out on the map sites you want to visit before you leave home. Some of the prices were out of date but the book was a very good guide to both cities. The subway system and pricing could be explained better. We bought more tickets than we needed. I checked several guide books before our trip and this was the best I found.
Pretty handy and accurate January 26, 2010

Bonjour!
Used it for a weekend in Montreal. Description of sites for the most part were accurate. Some inconsistencies (sloppy editing) around the completion of renovations regarding Insectarium de Montréal. Also,a couple of restaurants listed for Old Montreal were off in terms of their hours and one was no longer operating.
Some of the cost information needs to be updated, regarding transportation from Dorval into Montreal. For parties of two or more, would recommend a taxi (flat rate at the time of review) of $38 is more prudent than the other options (bus) and yet convenient. Also, for the US travelers, keep in mind the ticket vending machines for the underground system *may* not accept debit / credit cards issued by US banks, so have some change handy.
Overall, the purchase was worthwhile as it did provide some useful and handy tips. As all travel guides, details around logistics are best validated using web resources for various agencies.

The maps are excellent.
 Better than nothing, but not the best guide book ever June 1, 2009

Having recently used the Eyewitness series of guide books in Italy, this book isn't in the same league. The organization, accuracy, and presentation are all less than perfect (and being unfamiliar in general with Montreal I can't comment on the coverage). It has the de rigeur sights, restaurants, and maps, but some maps don't have enough detail, and in one case, the location of a famous bagel store was off by a couple of blocks.
In short, buy this guide if you are going and can't find something better, but expect a few hiccups.
