Review # 1 was written on 2008-02-24 00:00:00 Connor Smith This Rough Guide was very good at pointing out sites to visit, in chapters grouped by region. In particular, it had handy route descriptions, such as for following the Ring of Kerry from one end to the other, and typically included good recommendations for accommodations and pubs. In particular, we found my favorite B&B of the trip - The Bastion in Athlone - using this Rough Guide. Like any travel guide, while it hits many of the high points, it often results in your trip crossing paths with everyone else who has the same guide. In addition, you are left to discover many of the off-the-beaten-path attractions on your own, which is actually not a bad way to go either. Regardless, it's a good jumping off point for starting your explorations.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-03-29 00:00:00 Matthew Hubert One of the three best Irish travel guides I've consulted. (The others being Fodor's Ireland 2009 and Moon Ireland.) Easy to use, it includes more maps than some. A nice blend of history and current information.
