Perfect!

I bought this book to help me with the extra research details I needed for my first novel. It gave me exactly what I needed to create the reality of Victoria!

The book was a virtual tour in my mind's eye of Victoria.

The book was lots of fun to read. The descriptions of the city using the vantage point of a walker up and down the specified streets was brilliant. Even though my trip to Victoria fell through, I can pick up the book and almost hear, smell and see this fascinating place I hope to visit someday.

A super guide to Victoria

We spent two weeks in a condo in Victoria in May, and having read the Hill's Guide before we got there we felt right at home. We loved the way it was laid out by neighborhood, and were able tofind many of the shops and restaurants withoutany trouble.We also made use of the suggestions for travel out of the city. Thank you for making our visit so memorable!

An amazing guide about a beautiful place!

As a Victoria transplant now living in the Silicon Valley, it was so refreshing to find this book. It is so accurate, even I learned things I didn't know before. I hadn't been home in about six years until last August when I had to attend my brother's wedding. I used the Hills guide to plan my week stay on the Island. Not only was I able to get some great tips regarding local restaurants which had popped up since I had moved, but I also found a number of interesting new points of interest. Maybe I had known of some of the neat things to do in Victoria, but I had totally forgotten until the Hills reminded me. My partner and I spent a few days driving and exploring the island. As the Hills recommended, we stopped by the Sook Harbour House for a delicious meal. What a treat. Regardless of what sparks your interest as you travel, the Hills' guide of Victoria and Vancouver Island truly reaches all ends of the most beautiful place on earth.
