Customer Reviews

A great traveling companion!
This book was a great resource during our weeklong driving adventure throughout Ireland. Not only did we use it in planning our trip, but it remained with us in the car as a daily reference and guide. A large map of the country is partitioned into numerous, individual driving tours. We would pick a destination, find the appropriate tour, and the book would suggest an itinerary as well as provide an informative reference to the landmarks, scenery, history, restaurants and accommodations in the area. We will definitely be using this again!

Pretty pictures, but not much information
This book has some beautiful pictures to inspire you to visit Ireland (something that Lonely Planet, e.g., lacks), but has little else to recommend it. The information on where you should stop consists of about 5 sentences; not enough to help you decide if you want to stop or to assist you once you are there. We were in Ireland for 10 days; during that time, we found this guide useful for about 5 minutes, when we were trying to find Cliffs of Moher. Not a very good investment. For beautiful pictures at no cost, search the internet instead.

The two guide books I would recommend are Lonely Planet and the Blue Guide. (...) Finally, make sure you get a good map once in Ireland, if not before.e

DEFINITELY Drive Ireland on Your Own
This Best Loved Driving Tours Travel Guide is one of the best, if not the best, guidebook to use for planning your Ireland trip before you leave. There is a tremendous amount of useful driving material, it has quite a bit of information,and a number of different driving tours, it is convenient to carry with you or keep in the car. I read about a lot of attractions here that I couldn't find in other reputable publications, and found more details as well. The best way to go...and I learned through experience and the hard way....you want to fly into Dublin and head south, then west and north....and leave out of Shannon...the experience of the City first, with the hustle and bustle is GREAT!!...and then the calming of the countryside and the politness, kindness and friendliness of the Irish people will definitely fill your heart...and leave you with a good feeling.
