I purchased Frommer's Ireland and Rick Steves' Ireland for a trip last year. You can always depend on Frommer's guides to be accurate. However, if you want to experience something other than the
ordinary tourist-type attractions with a bit more budget in mind, Steves' will take you there.

We purchased several guides for Ireland and this one seems to be the best one for planning a trip and learning more about the country. Frommer's did a good job on this one.

Frommer's guides are so helpful when traveling, so I looked for their Ireland book on Amazon right away when we were planning our trip. We had already booked our stay at the Knockranny Lodge in Westport, and were looking for the best restaurants and sightseeing advice. This book has it! Frommer's even includes a tear-out map of Ireland/Dublin so you can put it in your pocket and walk around Dublin without carrying around the heavier Frommer's book. The Dublin street layouts were helpful in finding the Guiness Factory and Thomas Reed's pub.

I bought two books before my trip, this one and the Eyewitness Guide. I found the Eyewitness Guide the best book to read before I left and on the trip I referred to my Frommer's time and time again. It's just a bigger, more comprehensive book. We traveled over 1800k in the two weeks we were there and visited just about every corner of the country and found the Frommer recommendations helpful and accurate.

Best guide to Ireland I've used so far. I found it was more honest and less PR sounding than many guides, which can sound like they're written by a tourist board. Quality of writing excellent, information exhaustive and comprehensive. Does a good job of listing a range of what's available for differnt budgets too, in terms of hotels and so forth, which I found particularly useful given how expensive visiting Ireland (and Europe in general) has become!

It was all right, but not complete enough. We are going on a tour and some of the hotels are 4 star and there is nothing about them. I felt some of the subjects were overworked and some very limited.
I have travel books by other writers that I prefer.

This purchase arrived in most excellent condition, new, very well bound paperback, very stiff, durable cover, map complete and up to date. I could not ask for a more perfect volume.
