Travel Ireland: Road Trip Planning Guide Through Pubs Across the Map offers a glimpse into the charm of exploring Ireland through its pubs. Eric Boyle shares personal experiences and provides practical tips on how to make an Irish road trip affordable and memorable. The book’s strength lies in its maps and suggestions, which can help you avoid tourist traps and uncover some hidden gems. However, the guide feels a bit limited, particularly if you're looking for more comprehensive travel advice beyond pub visits. The writing is personable but lacks the detail and depth needed to make it a truly invaluable resource for trip planning. Additionally, while the anecdotes are enjoyable, the book could benefit from more structured itineraries or specific pub recommendations. Overall, it’s a decent starting point if you're interested in a pub-focused trip through Ireland, but you might need to supplement it with other resources for a well-rounded experience.
