"I purchased this book for my husband as a resouce for his family history. He loves the book. It makes "home" at little more special to him. I don't know if we were ever get to Ireland, but we feel as if we have been there through this wonderful travel guide."
"I resisted, I will admit, picking up a Rick Steves' guidebook ... by my co-worker swore by it and, my word, it was so much more digestible than the other ones I'd been attempting to slog through! It keeps things short and sweet, and focuses on the types of sites that I am interested in. The book focuses on helping you construct a great trip, rather than telling you everything there is to know about any noteworthy (or not so noteworthy) sight in the country. The writing is diplomatic, but doesn't pull any punches; if something isn't worth the effort, it says so. By the same token, everything mentioned in the book isn't "must see," but rather just noteworthy to allow you to figure out what interests you most. I look forward to using this both as I continue to plan my trip and during my travels."
"Not as impressed with the "back doors" in this book as I have been with other guides of his I've used in the past. Maybe he's become too popular since I last went to Europe many years ago. Stayed in a B&B recommended in his book and it was nice, but also booked almost solid with Americans. Where's the fun in that? His sleepy back door town of Dingle felt very touristy, was the most booked up of any place we stayed in Ireland, and what the roads lacked in tour buses they more than made up for in car traffic. Traveling in 'shoulder season', I think we overall liked the Ring of Kerry better than Dingle. Rick also focuses very much on cultural and historical sites, which are cool yes, but in Ireland there is also all this natural beauty and we wanted our trip to focus more on that. Overall the book is not bad, but not exactly the guide we needed either."
