This review is from: The Everything Travel Guide to Ireland: From Dublin to Galway and Cork to Donegal - a complete guide to the Emerald Isle (Everything (History & Travel)) (Paperback)

I absolutely loved using this book in and around Ireland. I love how it is geographically and logically constructed so finding things to do, places to eat and stay are not only comprehensive, but easy and effortless. I loved the e-tid-bits and hints that helped us find some of the off-the-beaten walks and little gems in some of the cutest little towns. I can't wait for more books from this author, as his (and her) work are well researched and written at top-notch quality. A++++

This review is from: The Everything Travel Guide to Ireland: From Dublin to Galway and Cork to Donegal - a complete guide to the Emerald Isle (Everything (History & Travel)) (Paperback)

We purchased "The Everything Travel Guide to Ireland" for our summer 2010 family getaway. The book does a nice job at covering Ireland's hot spots and also off-the beaten-path locations. The book is not as extensive as other, heavier guidebooks. What it offers is sufficient in both description and does list some very nice B&Bs, hotels, and even castles. The hints given as sidebars throughout the book also help us out with traveling in each region. The itineraries are superb and the history, driving, and travel to and from information was right on. Purchase this book if you like to explore on your own with some guidance. I much prefer it to more well-known guide books, which we also took along. I find that the others simply weigh their books down with too much opinion and not enough straight-forward, helpful information. The Everything Series lives up to its quality once again.
