I used this book to plan a trip originating in London, then traveling to Dublin amd finally to Galway. This book was very helpful in the planning stage of the trip. It definitely made the trip a lot smoother and less expensive. It includes maps, advice, and other information to give you ideas on accomodation, dining and sights to see. I recommend it.

This review is from: Let's Go 2004: Britain & Ireland (Let's Go Britain and Ireland) (Paperback)

I have always been pleased with Let's Go books, and in fact, seek them out when ever I travel. This book was a disappointment! I couldn't find any of the suggested places to stay or eat and all of the places to visit always cost about $10US dollars more than the book said they would cost. England is a good sized country with so many cool historical monuments and towns and because they packed Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England into one book, none of the countries got any focused time and besides, London got top billing with some 50 pages! Overall, I felt like no one bothered to update prices or explore very many options nor had any of the contributing editors spent a great deal of time there. I recommend you seek another budget travel guide.
