5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST-BUY, November 14, 2003

By	Inigo (NC, United States) - See all my reviews

We used the 2003 version of this book for our trip in May 2003. My wife and I will not travel in Europe without one of Rick Steves' books! Specifically, the Ireland book provided us with some useful guidelines for each day of our trip. Some we followed completely, many we tailored for our own interests. You can't see it all in a week or ten days, so Rick Steves' helps you hit the high spots, find some comfortable and friendly places to stay, and avoid the tourist traps. He helped us get the most for our money in Ireland.

In 2004 I had an awesome 4 week Ireland trip following the guide along the way. This book was invaluable, I felt I didn't miss a thing and it required little advanced planning. I have since used other books of his and loved all of them. I highly recommend them.
