Customer Reviews

Frommer's Ireland Best Driving Route 2009

My husband is very pleased with the book and will use it to plan our trip to Ireland next year.

Frommer's Ireland's Best-Loved Driving Tours

We would not want to be without this book on our visits to Ireland. It really helps you to plan your day as you explore all that the Emerald Isle has to offer. It is well written, fun to read and includes clear maps and directions.

Look for a Followup in a Few Months

The book has lots of good info for a first-time traveller to Ireland, but I'll know more about how useful the book is in early September. My daughter and I will be travelling to Ireland in late August and hope to put the book's info to use while we're there. Stay tuned....

DEFINITELY Drive Ireland on Your Own

This Best Loved Driving Tours Travel Guide is one of the best, if not the best, guidebook to use for planning your Ireland trip before you leave. There is a tremendous amount of useful driving material, it has quite a bit of information,and a number of different driving tours, it is convenient to carry with you or keep in the car. I read about a lot of attractions here that I couldn't find in other reputable publications, and found more details as well. The best way to go...and I learned through experience and the hard way....you want to fly into Dublin and head south, then west and north....and leave out of Shannon...the experience of the City first, with the hustle and bustle is GREAT!!...and then the calming of the countryside and the politness, kindness and friendliness of the Irish people will definitely fill your heart...and leave you with a good feeling.

A great traveling companion!

This book was a great resource during our weeklong driving adventure throughout Ireland. Not only did we use it in planning our trip, but it remained with us in the car as a daily reference and guide. A large map of the country is partitioned into numerous, individual driving tours. We would pick a destination, find the appropriate tour, and the book would suggest an itinerary as well as provide an informative reference to the landmarks, scenery, history, restaurants and accommodations in the area. We will definitely be using this again!
