Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A good guide, but falls shortOn the plus side, the Eyewitness guide is easy to read and gives you a more accurate idea of what to expect at the various attractions across Ireland, and has a decent section on Northern Ireland, which is often noticeably lacking in many other guides. However, it is VERY limited in terms of its listings of lodgings, restaurants and pubs. I bought the guide while living in my husband's native Northern Ireland on the recommendation of a friend, but found I had to continually refer to other guide books to find hotels, B&B and restaurants that normal people (those of us with incomes under $100,000/year) can afford. Also, the listing of hotels, etc., at the back of the book is rather frustrating, as you have to flip back and forth many ... Read More: Rating:  - First Rate book for the experienced or novice traveller!I've been to Ireland 3 times, and this book was extremely enlightening. If you intend to travel there, bring this book along. It describes many points of interest, of all kinds (touristy, like Blarney Castle; or off the beaten path, like Galarus Oratory), and it reviews hotels in a handy table. Colorful and insightful. When we go to Ireland we cover 1200 miles by rental car in 8 days. We design our own itinerary before-hand. This book was very good for preplanning and to bring along for the ride. It's lightweight and has a small shape so it fits into any daypack or glove compartment. You could use this book and a very good map (Michelin's road map is best) to see AND appreciate Ireland on a great vacation. Ireland travel books vary ... Read More: Rating: - the best travel guide to irelandI was born and educated in Ireland and travel back to the old sod every couple of years. I have studied just about every travel guide to Ireland since I am more a tourist than a native; after 30 years in the good old U.S. The eyewitness guide is by far the best Rating: - It is a delightful book to look at and to read.I am getting ready to take a trip and wanted to buy a good travel guide to Ireland. I looked at a number of guide books and they were all talk and little else. I picked up the DK Eyewitness Travel Guide about Ireland from Dorling Kindersley, the same people who do the CDs. It was the best guide book of the bunch. The photos, maps illustrations and narrative are all first class. I looked as some of their other guide books, such as New York, London and Paris, all first class. I plan to buy them all. I live across the river from NYC, and lived in New York state for over 35 years. I learned a number of things from the NYC book. Get them, you will be hard pressed to find better travel guides. |
