5.0 out of 5 stars Loved the 'sights!, February 21, 2005

This review is from: Insight Guides Ireland (Insight Guide Ireland) (Paperback)

On planning a trip to Ireland (return trip for me, first trip for my kids) I wanted to dig up as much info as possible.
With so little time (and money) I wanted the most of what I had!!
After securing the Eyewitness guides and the Frommers guides, I stumbled upon Insights and was so impressed!!
It not only was a guide, but a reading book as well.
The pictures by far are the best!!
Looking through it makes me want to be there on my trip, NOW!
Let's just say, I HAVE to own this one!!
It's costly, more than the others, but well worth putting into your collection!

5.0 out of 5 stars A practical and invaluable resource for getting the most out of a visit to the Emerald Isle, March 15, 2010

Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Ireland (Step by Step) (Paperback)

One of the major joys of traveling abroad is going on walks to observe the sights, sounds, and people up close and personal. That's why travelers to Ireland will especially value "Ireland Step By Step" which is a handy 128-page compendium showcasing sixteen walks and tours complete with thoroughly 'user friendly' maps. Of special note is the profusion of tips and advice on where to eat and drink, shopping, the nightlife, and the culture. Enhanced with themed tours, a free pullout map with street index, and practical information on a variety of hotel accommodations suitable for diverse budgets, "Ireland Step By Step" is a practical and invaluable resource for getting the most out of a visit to the Emerald Isle.
