Great reminders

Great book especially if you've never been to Ireland. Even though I've been to most of the places working, living and visiting there it's good to be reminded of them, Ireland is a place you'll never get tired of returning to.

Aimed at an international audience (as…

Aimed at an international audience (as in those who have never been here) and to a particular group of people. I am fairly certain there are more gems in Ireland than this list. Ireland before you Die doesn't mean you have to wait until you are of a certain age. There is very little aimed at younger audience. I am Irish but it was just a list of obvious places to me. Half hour scan than anything. Giants Causeway mentioned on Slieve League page. Fr. Teds House on the list and Clonmacnoise not? And Templebar is not a good example of Ireland, its an Irishesque money trap for drunken society. It is not worth it in comparison to half the villages and towns all along the North, West and South coasts. Skellig Michael, please warn tourists that they will be in for a long wait to get there, I am talking months. Time to do a list of the real Ireland.

Sel-Driver's Dream

This is a great guide for anyone seeking to visit the Emerald Isle! We are planning a self-driving trip late April/Early May and this guide tells how to reach destinations and what are the significant points of interest in the towns we are visiting!

I love the instagram posts

I love the instagram posts, so I couldn’t wait for the book, and it did not disappoint! It’s fabulous, from content in the book, to the size of the book (which fits right into my purse).
It’s an easy, informative read. On a personal note, my copy was lost in the mail. Stevie immediately sent another copy. I couldn’t be happier ☘️

Excellent Guide!

My book arrived, and I absolutely love it! The quality is fantastic, and the vibrant imagery inside is stunning. It’s incredibly easy to navigate, with each page offering well-organized advice and helpful tips. The layout is great, making it a joy to read. I am in the midst of planning what will be my second visit to Ireland and this book will become a definite 'go to' for advice.

Great publication and now widely used…

Great publication and now widely used within my family to plan our coming trip to Ireland.
My one criticism is that central Ireland seems to receive little attention compared to coast and cities.
As we like to experience the cultural aspects of the country, which are more readily apparent away from the more commercialised tourist areas, this comment may reflect more on us than the publication.

Great customer support/follow up

As as I made payment and got confirmation email, realized it was an ebook. Immediately sent an email to customer support asking for a credit towards hard copy or refund. Never heard back from customer support. Ebook is useless to me. I never even downloaded it. Update; After initial review, I got a very nice response from customer support. They sincerely apologized for any confusion/delay and advised a refund was in process. Very satisfied with their response and follow up. Would definitely order from them again

Beautiful necklace

I got my daughter a beautiful map of Ireland necklace for Christmas. She just loves it, lovely size and good quality. The service was great as I ordered late but it still arrived on time for Christmas.
