I have been to Quebec City once and I have visited Montreal four separate times. To put it briefly, these are two enchanting cities, well worth visiting.
The "Lonely Planet" travel guide, "Montreal & Quebec City City Guide" represents a very useful resource for those who consider visiting these two cities.
Montreal: Among the hotels that I stayed at are The Queen Elizabeth and Hotel Gouverneur (my naughty son packed one of the coffee cups into our luggage without my knowing it; it is now one of my favorite mugs!). The Queen Elizabeth was absolutely delightful. There is also a brief description of the Underground City. It is not as special as some might say, but it is an enjoyable place to visit and shop. There are nice summaries of places to see, places to eat (I enjoyed the ambience of The Beaver Club in the Queen Elizabeth Hotel), places to stay. . . Visiting the Olympic Park was most enjoyable.
Quebec City? The Old City is delightful. Our family took one of the water tours and one of the bus tours of the city. Well worth experiencing! The Plains of Abraham were chilling (I can't believe that such an important battle took place in such a restricted place!).
All in all, the two places reviewed here are delightful venues for a vacation. And this book does a nice job of providing the would-be visitor with relevant information. . . .
