Thank you for the open minded and respectful way that you and your wife approached Ireland and its people and animals. I appreciate that and agree with your tips especially your advice Not to Drive at Night. People drive too fast here especially at night on narrow roads if you are off motorway. Also you reflected our native cuisine and fresh foods very fairly. Irish food is generally among the best in the world. Glad you enjoyed my country - do the wild atlantic way and the Ancient East trail when you come back.Dublin Horse Show; Kilkenny Arts week; Kinsale Food festival are some of the pleasant but expensive events to enjoy.
@@kristiesussman1668 It depends on how competent you are as a driver and where you want to go... driving on our secondary routes can be v scenic but demanding as Irish drivers drive fast and take no prisoners. Motorways are fine but with few service stations. Overall the Nationwide bus network known as Expressway might offer you the best mix of accessibility, scenery and economy. Trains are good for longest journeys but more expensive. Hope this helps.
Great video. As an Irish person you hit ever thing perfectly. Although, I have admit it’s funny when Americans say Galway with a super American accent yet get more complexed place names spot on. It’s said like Gol-way, don’t stretch the “a” sound.
+1 for using Shannon Airport. You won't believe the difference between that and Dublin. So much easier, quieter, friendlier and faster and you can almost drive in to the check-in desk !! Not as wide a range in the Duty Free but that's a small price to pay for the convenience. On the other hand, as a bonus, you do get to shop at the worlds very first Duty Free shop !!! And you're closer to Cork ;-)
SHANNON IS AWESOME WE LOVE IT THERE, SADLY THEY GET SHUNNED SO MUCH FOR ALL ROADS LEAD TO DUBLIN IN IRELAND. BUT WORTH THE WEE BIT MORE. NEAR BUNRATTY CASTLE AND FOLK PARK AND ALSO DURTY NELLYS AND THE BUNRATTY MANOR RUN BY NIALL AND FIONA, GREAT COOKS AND HOST. WE LOVED IT THERE WHEN WE STAYED MANY TIMES. XXX
@@dennisyates7668 A small note - Durty Nellie’s is for the tourists only; go to Mac’s in the folk park for the locals. Yup, you heard me - “the tourists go to the real pub, but the real people go to the fake pub in the theme park” (McCarthy’s Bar, published 2000)
Spot on mate..i would say it is a lot cheaper staying in bed & breakfasts or smaller hotels which there are many of...most are lovely with free brecky & very friendly hosts...
Good suggestion! Thank you for mentioning that because it's important to advise others on more affordable options than where we stayed. For the honeymoon, we were very fortunate to stay where we did, but that was an exception to the norm for us. Next time I will be trying to sleep outside in a tent as much as possible. Camping is my favorite, and very inexpensive.
Ireland is definitely on my bucket list to see in my lifetime and being a big fan of Celtic music and anything else Celtic. This video makes me want to go even more. Well done......
If at Slea Head also visit Cuiminole Beach - it's awesome. When we were kids, in the 60s/early 70s, we used to call it the "Big Wave Seaside". We'd spend hours there, paddling, making sand castles, exploring the rock pools and caves, having picnics with ham sandwiches Tayto and tea, the kettle boiled on a primus stove, then relax on a woolen foxford rug laid on the sand and listen to the ocean.
John and his crew at Pax Guesthouse are absolutely the pinnacle of accommodation in Dingle. Glad you found them - we've stayed there four times so far with more to come!
Hey, great video! Heading to Ireland at the end of the month with my girlfriend from the USA, and this video and your longer form one have been extraordinarily useful in planning the trip! Thanks for putting time into this.
The Wild Atlantic Way is amazing, costal drive running the entire west coast. Will bring you on the most scenic drives, just follow the signs either north or south.
Thank you so much for sharing your honeymoon trip to Ireland with us, as an Irish person, I have not seen some of the places you have visited. This video is amazing and makes me proud to be Irish. Wishing you and your wife many years of happiness together, I do hope you come back to visit. Thank you..
If your ever back in ireland you should try and get out to the island skellig michael. Its a 5th century monastic settlement about a 40 minute boat ride from dingle. Its only accessible during the summer months and unfortunately due to its use in the recent star wars movies you have to book months in advance but an incredible place despite the star wars fans
@@BradySkye I did it in 2001. I am Irish, from Ireland, I had never done it before. I did it alone and it was the best thing I ever did in Ireland. 100% reecommend.
@@donalmaccormaic8173 Me too, Donal! That's on my list for our next visit. Have you read On an Irish Island by Robert Kanigel? It is a beautiful telling of the story of the people of the Great Blasket. Brought tears to my eyes more than once!
What a great video. As an Irishman, it filled me with pride. I'm originally from Cork City but have lived in Boca Raton, Florida for 20 years. It was great to see someone truly do justice to my homeland. Unfortunately, now I'm homesick and it's all your fault. I was very impressed with your videography. You a did a brilliant job portraying the beautiful scenery and the many wonderful places to stay. Next time you must visit County Cork, Kinsale and the Bearra Peninsula. There is so much more for you to see.
I love love how you truly respectful the Irish culture, the food, the people n Ireland itself👍👍👍😊😊😊...a lot of people say negative things about Ireland...but there are so many beautiful amazing things Ireland to see....when I was younger I go to Ireland al the time to visit n family there.... Thoroughly enjoyed yur vids👍👍👍👍 well done👏👏👏... U should be a speaker or other for Irish tourism👍
One of the best videos I've seen in a long time. Keep up the great work! We are planning our trip to Ireland in march and look forward to hitting up some of the same spots! Cheers!
You must be a professional Filmaker & Producer, Mr. Brady Bigalke. Excellent video. Definitely inspiring us to visit Ireland. Enjoy a peaceful summer in Florida.
We used this video (and Brady's longer one), as the backbone to plan our ten day, 40th anniversary trip. We made a few changes. But to make a long story short, everything Brady recommended turned out to be spot on, from Falconry to The Frenchville House. Thanks Brady!
Great informative and beautiful videos about Ireland Brady 😊 can I come back home along with you next time you do it in such style hehe I'm from Limerick city. So glad you went to the cliffs of Moher you know you are meant to go there with the one you love 😊 first time I went I was alone, next time I was engaged! Great memories great country. All the best.
Just watched your video. It's amazing to see through the eyes of someone not from Ireland to remind you of how beautiful your own country can be. If you ever come back to Ireland, I would recommend taking a walk up Mountpellier hill to the hellfire club at the top it will give you an amazing view of Dublin. Then take a trip into Wicklow to see some amazing places.
What a great video. Thank you. We go to Ireland frequently to visit family so our trips are more local. You have made me excited to move around Ireland a little more. We stay in Westport, (south of Galway) and Donegal. Amazing country and amazing people. Thank you again.
You done a great job portraying Ireland. It’s our home country, and we still haven’t seen all of it. But it’s our goal over the next few months, and to film it from an Irish perspective 🤞🏽!
Big Yes for flying into Shannon instead of Dublin. So many people are doing day trips from Dublin straight to the Cliffs. They are coming to the west coast, but the bus tours are running from Dublin they are blocking up all the roads with bus while the west gets little or nothing in return just more traffic.
The customs and security is another reason to fly to Shannon. Less people you'll get through faster. British Airways flys in every day too get quicker customs and security for one of its flights too New York
Hey Brady - thank you SO much for this and ALL your well-thought out videos! The info is great & you have laid it out so clearly. I'm heading to Ireland later this year for the fifth time - I am taking notes on many of your recommendations AND i am using this as a great review of details to remember & attend to prior to & during our visit. I love Ireland - the people, the landscape, the soul of this country. Your videos ring with love & appreciate for this precious place. Just a big thanks to you and your bride. :-)
Excellent documentary! So enjoyed it. We leave for Scotland and Ireland in two days😊😊😊‼️so excited! You really gave some wonderful insights on touring Ireland. Congratulations on your marriage and love and joy to you both for your future together 💕💕💕
I live Ireland and have visited most of the places, but never stayed in a castle. That was a wonderful video of Ireland and you explained the tips very well.
If your ever back, there's a great hike around the Coumshingaun Loop in the Comeragh Mountains in Waterford (do it clockwise), Visit Currachlo Beach in Wexford (where Saving Private Ryan opening scene was filmed), theres the Dolmen Rock in my hometown Carlow, largest capstone in Europe, also Duckets Grove, hike around the mountains in Glenmalure and Glendalough in Wicklow, visit Sliabg Liag mountains in Donegal, great hike, far better than Cliffs of Moher. Also Game of Thrones sites in Northern Ireland, Dunluce Castle, Kings road with weird shaped trees, also visit Giants Causeway and Carrick a Rede rope briidge, Stairway to Heaven walk in Cavan also, called Cuilcagh, Croke Patrick in Mayo also Theres a hike that start South Dublin at Marley Park, called the Wicklow Way, takes a few days but well worth it
I highly recommend Glendalough (Wicklow) if you return to Ireland, it is an enchanting and magical place and only 1 hour drive from Dublin. Also, I recommend Donegal in the north west of Ireland, scenery is fantastic.
Good video. I have family in Co. Cavan and have been there 33 times. Dingle is my very favorite place! When you go back be sure to go to the Small Bridge Pub AKA An Droichead Beag. They have great music from local musicians 365 days a year. Great fun! Did you see Fungi?
Brady be sure to take a trip into Connemara if you ever get back to Galway, you won't regret it. It's a region which extends west along the coast and north into rugged mountainous country.
Will do! Connemara is at the top of our list when we return. I would also love to do some backpacking around Killarney and perhaps explore the Iveragh Peninsula. Thanks for the tip! : )
I'm glad you enjoyed Ireland. If you come again in summer I recommend doing the whole Atlantic Way up to Donegal. From Mizen Head to Malin Head. The sunsets are like a dream.
Awesome footage of Ireland. U saw most of the best places, but next time u should visit Achill Island, Courtmacsherry, Roundstone, Dogs Bay Beach, Ashford castle in Cong, Croagh Patrick Ireland's pilgrimage mountain. And definitely don't miss the Titanic museum in Belfast.
Having been to Ireland many times, I still appreciated your video. Just a note, when we were at Rock of Cashel we sat out on the grass to eat our lunch and enjoy the view and both of us ended up with several tiny ticks . . .
That's wonderful to hear! And wow, I had no idea about the ticks. Thanks for letting me know. I'll try to spread the word if anyone says they are going there.
I sense that Ireland left quite an impression on you? Some of us are lucky enough to be born and live there. You can always come again anytime. Yes. It is a beautiful place!
Great video and tips! My husband and I went to Ireland back in 2016 for our 10th year wedding anniversary and fell in love with the place, I would like to go back and stay longer. We visited some of the places you mentioned as well as Inishmore, one of the Aran Islands, something I always wanted to see.
Thanks very much for that very informative video. And I agree with a lot of the Irish people commenting on this very well made video, about it: "making them proud to be Irish". We never see ourselves the way that others see us....and that can be a handicap sometimes. As a country we really took the brunt of the financial crash of 2008/9 very hard. We were thrown-under-the-bus by the EU and as a nation we were made to 'take the hit' for the whole of the EU banking sector. That was very hard on most of the people living here, and it took many years of austerity to emerge from it. And at a time like that....it can be quite hard to see what's directly under-your-nose. Like our lovely scenery, our historical castles and monuments, our amazing coastline and our innate 'Irishness' at being quite an outgoing and friendly people. So thanks very much to you Brady and to your wife for posting such an 'uplifting' video about your honymoon here in Ireland. Both myself and my wife enjoyed it immensely. All the very best to both of you!
Loved your video and thrilled you and your wife had a great visit..honeymoon in our beautiful country. Ireland is magical...well we Irish think so anyway. That cafe on the Dingle peninsula that you worried about mispronouncing..its Coo me nole...that's the pronunciation. Its a place name and has an amazing beach... there is a sign...dangerous for swimming. As you stand on the beach a wave will end a distance away...but beware the next wave will end a distance behind you. Amazing but little scary. It was great to see you went off the roads and hiked. Too many visitors do the set tours...yes you get to see touristy parts but its better to set your on agenda...see the real Ireland. Great advice re safety on cliffs of Moher. There us so much to see and do in our country...South East Cork is stunning too. Book a few days in little village called Ballycotton. Stunning cliff walk..fab food..lovely pubs..Sea Church for gigs..places to swim ( ask locals fir advice before you swim from rocks)..take a guided tour of Ballycotton lighthouse...beautiful village.
Great tips and that is from an Irishman 😊 However the ocd In me should jokingly mention it’s pronounced Gall - Way 😂 If you are ever visiting the north coast hit us up for a guided hill walk in the Glens Of Antrim 😊
The Antrim Rambler Thanks! It's funny how important it is to pronounce everything correctly. I probably have about 200 comments centered around me pronouncing something wrong in my first travel tips video from Belize. I wish I could change it but UA-cam doesn't allow for changes! I'll keep trying to get better about it.
Brady Bigalke Every content creator has problems pronouncing something me included. It was just for the “craic” so no worries 😊 A great video and a lot better than those I have seen from people who actually live here and promote our country 😊 You need to see the north coast at some point. Have a look at the gallery on our website and if that doesn’t convince you to come here I need to work harder 😂😂 Well done 😊
@@patricksweeney5308 Thanks for clarifying those words! I will work on my pronunciations for future endeavors. It's funny how many people are so passionate about that. Personally, I am very forgiving of people pronouncing things wrong. Your thought on it adding to the authenticity of the video is interesting. I appreciate you sharing that!
Thanks for your feedback! I will keep it in mind. I am always questioning myself and thinking about what I can do "better." Great to have you on board for the journey.
Great video! My husband and I are going to Ireland in 6 weeks and we love tbis and your Ireland video. Where did you get the pillow behind you of the Dingle Peninsula? We would love to buy that for our house.
Love your videos! We are going to Ireland in April to celebrate our 20th Anniversary and would like to know what month you and your wife visited. Also, thank you for letting us know we can dink the water. We live in Pensacola and we don't drink the tap water here either!
Wow! Happy Anniversary. That will be so magical. We went May 9-20th. But we hear we still got lucky with the weather. Yeah we use a serious water filter here in St. Augustine.
@@BradySkye Thank you so much for your reply and your wishes! Life is good! We wish you both all of the best as well and thank you again for your wonderful content and for taking time out to reply.
Great video, for your next trip i suggest going north into Donegal and northern ireland if you can, some places i would reccomend are the Slieve League Cliffs, Tory Island, Aranmore Island, The Glenveigh nationsl park And Mt. Errigal. You can get easily into Donegal by going to Carrickfinn international airport which was voted one of the most beautiful airports in the world! otherwise from Donegal you NEED to visit some historical caves such as the Marble Arch caves or The Giants Causeway (Both in Northern Ireland) But i seriously enjoyed the video and it's not stereotypical and great advice for people wanting to come here
Beautiful vlogs on Ireland!!! I'm from Glendalough (Wicklow), definitely try check it out next time! It's in a valley with 2 lakes and the ancient remains of several churches and a 30 metre high round tower. Loads of mountains to hike here too! One of the most popular tourist spots in Ireland and only a 50 minute drive from Dublin :)
If anyone wants some amazing traditional Irish music in a pub thats not crowded, and is not over charging for drinks (AKA everywhere in Temple Bar) Then head to the Cobblestone pub in the area of Smithfield, its about a 20 minute walk from Trinity College or about 4 stops on the red line Luas. This pub has live music everyday, and youll only find locals. It is also tiny, so you may be left standing along the wall. One rule in there is that you can not talk when the music is flowing, if you want to talk head further down the back of the pub away from the music.
And Athurs pub is right down the road from the Guinness Storehouse, it does possibly the BEST Irish stew in the city. its small and has few tables but is well worth it. It is also a blues bar so you may catch live blues music in the evenings.
Top class video which we just stumbled upon. Not too many people have mentioned Wicklow and Wexford, two of the most beautiful and historic counties in Ireland. Glendalough, Glenmalure Avoca in Wicklow and Curracloe, Blackwater and lots of other villages and towns in Wexford and only a couple of hours drive from Dublin. We,re lucky enough to live about 10 miles from Dublin City and pretty much have the best of both worlds on our doorstep. P.S. My wife and I both think your wife is a lovely girl, is it possible to "read" things like that through a video?
Just to add flying into Belfast also there is beautiful scenery an hour from Belfast, the giants causeway, views were game of thrones was filmed etc that can easily be seen on a day trip. Belfast is compact even smaller than Dublin with good history tours. There's is an express train to Dublin multiple times through the day. Also there is a small airport in kerry called farranfore that's handy if needed. Donegal has its own airport and spectacular west, rural routes. Also private own room hostel rooms if you don't mind done shared facilities offer good budget solutions for couples.
This lad made a great video i can't fault him.What i would say though that don't overlook the west and northwest of ireland that is the area west and north of galway city its just as beautiful and probably far cheaper than the southwest.The southwest is great don't get me wrong i have been there many times myself ,but its not only scenic part of ireland.
Great video and tips. The US preclearance in Dublin and Shannon is a huge advantage in my opinion, while it might take longer on Irish side, you land at domestic terminal on US soil and no immigration or customs as already done it in Ireland. After a long flight, you can get straight out of the airport :-) Its one of the few countries in the world that has this facility.
I am here in the Sunny Southeast I hope the next time you come visit Ireland come down to the Southeast and Cork city airport is close by definitely car is recommended so that you can visit where the local go... Thank you very much..
As a tour driver in Ireland you succinctly captured some of the diversity and beauty our Island has to offer, including the fantastic culinary and beverages, thank you. What drone do you use? Much much more to see please come back.
Love the videos. Visiting many of the places that I can only dream of visiting.(because I have a fear of flying) so thank you so much for sharing. Oh. 🇮🇪 i ❤❤❤.
You can do it! Millions of people fly every day (except for right now of course) and it is so much more unsafe to be in a car! Learn about why an airplane flies. The more familiar you are with something the more comfortable it becomes.
Thank you for the open minded and respectful way that you and your wife approached Ireland and its people and animals. I appreciate that and agree with your tips especially your advice Not to Drive at Night. People drive too fast here especially at night on narrow roads if you are off motorway. Also you reflected our native cuisine and fresh foods very fairly. Irish food is generally among the best in the world. Glad you enjoyed my country - do the wild atlantic way and the Ancient East trail when you come back.Dublin Horse Show; Kilkenny Arts week; Kinsale Food festival are some of the pleasant but expensive events to enjoy.
Do you have a recommendation for how to best travel around? Car rental, train, etc.? :)

Thank you for the great video and the tips. Ireland is definitely on my bucket list.
My pleasure! Yes, I bet you will love it.
Check out Mizenhead with beautiful clifts. Also the town of Adare a very quaint town near Shannon area.
Thank you
I loved your video about Ireland!!! I've visited Ireland two times and I intend visit again in 2021! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! I intend to visit again within the next 5 years! What an island.
If your ever back, there's a great hike around the Coumshingaun Loop in the Comeragh Mountains in Waterford (do it clockwise), Visit Currachlo Beach in Wexford (where Saving Private Ryan opening scene was filmed), theres the Dolmen Rock in my hometown Carlow, largest capstone in Europe, also Duckets Grove, hike around the mountains in Glenmalure and Glendalough in Wicklow, visit Sliabg Liag mountains in Donegal, great hike, far better than Cliffs of Moher. Also Game of Thrones sites in Northern Ireland, Dunluce Castle, Kings road with weird shaped trees, also visit Giants Causeway and Carrick a Rede rope briidge, Stairway to Heaven walk in Cavan also, called Cuilcagh, Croke Patrick in Mayo also
Theres a hike that start South Dublin at Marley Park, called the Wicklow Way, takes a few days but well worth it
Northern Ireland is full of hidden gems, and you will not find as nice of people, generous and good craic, and not as expensive as down south. 🇨🇮
I highly recommend Glendalough (Wicklow) if you return to Ireland, it is an enchanting and magical place and only 1 hour drive from Dublin. Also, I recommend Donegal in the north west of Ireland, scenery is fantastic.
Good video. I have family in Co. Cavan and have been there 33 times. Dingle is my very favorite place! When you go back be sure to go to the Small Bridge Pub AKA An Droichead Beag. They have great music from local musicians 365 days a year. Great fun! Did you see Fungi?
extremely informative video, thanks
Brady be sure to take a trip into Connemara if you ever get back to Galway, you won't regret it. It's a region which extends west along the coast and north into rugged mountainous country.
Will do! Connemara is at the top of our list when we return. I would also love to do some backpacking around Killarney and perhaps explore the Iveragh Peninsula. Thanks for the tip! : )
I'm glad you enjoyed Ireland. If you come again in summer I recommend doing the whole Atlantic Way up to Donegal. From Mizen Head to Malin Head. The sunsets are like a dream.
Next time we will be going to Donegal! A lot of people have recommended it.

👏👏👏 for the explanation of how to drive on roundabouts
Brady made a wee mistake, you never turn right from the inside lane.
Hello Patrick, how are you doing today
Thumbs up.... Very detailed itineraries... 👍👍👍
Thanks a ton!
Awesome footage of Ireland. U saw most of the best places, but next time u should visit Achill Island, Courtmacsherry, Roundstone, Dogs Bay Beach, Ashford castle in Cong, Croagh Patrick Ireland's pilgrimage mountain. And definitely don't miss the Titanic museum in Belfast.
Thanks so much for the tips on the next visit! I will keep all of this in mind.
going to Dingle in July 2021, covid permitting. never been to Ireland.
Excited for you Garry. Dingle is a special place.
Having been to Ireland many times, I still appreciated your video. Just a note, when we were at Rock of Cashel we sat out on the grass to eat our lunch and enjoy the view and both of us ended up with several tiny ticks . . .
That's wonderful to hear! And wow, I had no idea about the ticks. Thanks for letting me know. I'll try to spread the word if anyone says they are going there.
Thank you. Nice summary
Glad you liked it! Thanks for stopping by.
Great video. The wife and I have our flights booked. We are going in October. Thanks for the tips.
Tim Ryan That's great to hear! Have an incredible time. You might not come back.
I sense that Ireland left quite an impression on you? Some of us are lucky enough to be born and live there. You can always come again anytime. Yes. It is a beautiful place!
Thank you!!!
Oustanding Travel info on Ireland!!!!! Thanks !!!!
Hello from Malaysia. A very beautiful and inspiring video. Felt like I am travelling with both of you😊. Surely I had subscribed your channel for more💪
Thanks for subbing! Can't wait to share more with you : )
On pronunciations it’s pronounced:
Gall-way
Bur-ren
Moe-her
Do you mean Goll_way?
Dash_likes_Cash gall like gallbladder
@@shaneobrien7801 yeah thats kinda what I meant
Great video and tips! My husband and I went to Ireland back in 2016 for our 10th year wedding anniversary and fell in love with the place, I would like to go back and stay longer. We visited some of the places you mentioned as well as Inishmore, one of the Aran Islands, something I always wanted to see.
Lovely tips, thank you!
Loved your video, it is so informative. I wondered what time of year did you go to Ireland? We will be going in March 2023.
Thanks so much! We went from May 9th - 20th or something like that. Excited for you to go! I've been so eager to get back there.
nice review. the Rock of Cashel is essentially a castle from a long time ago
Thanks very much for that very informative video. And I agree with a lot of the Irish people commenting on this very well made video, about it: "making them proud to be Irish". We never see ourselves the way that others see us....and that can be a handicap sometimes. As a country we really took the brunt of the financial crash of 2008/9 very hard. We were thrown-under-the-bus by the EU and as a nation we were made to 'take the hit' for the whole of the EU banking sector. That was very hard on most of the people living here, and it took many years of austerity to emerge from it. And at a time like that....it can be quite hard to see what's directly under-your-nose. Like our lovely scenery, our historical castles and monuments, our amazing coastline and our innate 'Irishness' at being quite an outgoing and friendly people.
So thanks very much to you Brady and to your wife for posting such an 'uplifting' video about your honymoon here in Ireland. Both myself and my wife enjoyed it immensely. All the very best to both of you!
Very welcome
Loved your video and thrilled you and your wife had a great visit..honeymoon in our beautiful country. Ireland is magical...well we Irish think so anyway. That cafe on the Dingle peninsula that you worried about mispronouncing..its Coo me nole...that's the pronunciation. Its a place name and has an amazing beach... there is a sign...dangerous for swimming. As you stand on the beach a wave will end a distance away...but beware the next wave will end a distance behind you. Amazing but little scary. It was great to see you went off the roads and hiked. Too many visitors do the set tours...yes you get to see touristy parts but its better to set your on agenda...see the real Ireland. Great advice re safety on cliffs of Moher. There us so much to see and do in our country...South East Cork is stunning too. Book a few days in little village called Ballycotton. Stunning cliff walk..fab food..lovely pubs..Sea Church for gigs..places to swim ( ask locals fir advice before you swim from rocks)..take a guided tour of Ballycotton lighthouse...beautiful village.
brilliant! Im a tour guide here in Ireland and I couldnt have done better!
Wow! I'm honored to hear that and we have been longing to return there.
@@BradySkye Bord Failte (Tourist Board) should pay you to come again! Sent them this video. They just might!
Very cool thanks for sharing
Lovely description of my country , great tips ....I also can't disagree on anything you said 😁.
Great tips and that is from an Irishman 😊 However the ocd In me should jokingly mention it’s pronounced Gall - Way 😂 If you are ever visiting the north coast hit us up for a guided hill walk in the Glens Of Antrim 😊
The Antrim Rambler Thanks! It's funny how important it is to pronounce everything correctly. I probably have about 200 comments centered around me pronouncing something wrong in my first travel tips video from Belize. I wish I could change it but UA-cam doesn't allow for changes! I'll keep trying to get better about it.
Brady Bigalke Every content creator has problems pronouncing something me included. It was just for the “craic” so no worries 😊 A great video and a lot better than those I have seen from people who actually live here and promote our country 😊 You need to see the north coast at some point. Have a look at the gallery on our website and if that doesn’t convince you to come here I need to work harder 😂😂 Well done 😊
@@patricksweeney5308 Thanks for clarifying those words! I will work on my pronunciations for future endeavors. It's funny how many people are so passionate about that. Personally, I am very forgiving of people pronouncing things wrong.
Your thought on it adding to the authenticity of the video is interesting. I appreciate you sharing that!
@@BradySkye I believe that the corrections are to save you any embarrassment when you return, your vlog is amazing, a real professional effort.
Best tips ever!!!
Thanks! : )
I love the way you do travel videos.
Great delivery. Great tips. Pls dont change this formula! 👍🙂 Just subscribed!
Thanks for your feedback! I will keep it in mind. I am always questioning myself and thinking about what I can do "better." Great to have you on board for the journey.
Great video! My husband and I are going to Ireland in 6 weeks and we love tbis and your Ireland video. Where did you get the pillow behind you of the Dingle Peninsula? We would love to buy that for our house.
Natasha Bickford Thanks a million! That pillow case is from a gift shop in Dingle named Cois Farraige. It's located near Murphy's Ice Cream.
@@BradySkye Thank you so much for your reply!
Yee were blessed with the good weather, but good things happen too good people. Brilliant video, glad yee liked the food over here.
Hello Paul, how are you doing today.
Love your videos! We are going to Ireland in April to celebrate our 20th Anniversary and would like to know what month you and your wife visited. Also, thank you for letting us know we can dink the water. We live in Pensacola and we don't drink the tap water here either!
Wow! Happy Anniversary. That will be so magical. We went May 9-20th. But we hear we still got lucky with the weather. Yeah we use a serious water filter here in St. Augustine.
@@BradySkye Thank you so much for your reply and your wishes! Life is good! We wish you both all of the best as well and thank you again for your wonderful content and for taking time out to reply.
Great video, for your next trip i suggest going north into Donegal and northern ireland if you can, some places i would reccomend are the Slieve League Cliffs, Tory Island, Aranmore Island, The Glenveigh nationsl park And Mt. Errigal. You can get easily into Donegal by going to Carrickfinn international airport which was voted one of the most beautiful airports in the world! otherwise from Donegal you NEED to visit some historical caves such as the Marble Arch caves or The Giants Causeway (Both in Northern Ireland) But i seriously enjoyed the video and it's not stereotypical and great advice for people wanting to come here
Thank you.
Beautiful vlogs on Ireland!!! I'm from Glendalough (Wicklow), definitely try check it out next time! It's in a valley with 2 lakes and the ancient remains of several churches and a 30 metre high round tower. Loads of mountains to hike here too! One of the most popular tourist spots in Ireland and only a 50 minute drive from Dublin :)
Thank you so much! excellent tips!
No problem! Happy you found them useful.
Excellent job!
Very helpful
That thumbnail got me!
If anyone wants some amazing traditional Irish music in a pub thats not crowded, and is not over charging for drinks (AKA everywhere in Temple Bar) Then head to the Cobblestone pub in the area of Smithfield, its about a 20 minute walk from Trinity College or about 4 stops on the red line Luas. This pub has live music everyday, and youll only find locals. It is also tiny, so you may be left standing along the wall. One rule in there is that you can not talk when the music is flowing, if you want to talk head further down the back of the pub away from the music.
And Athurs pub is right down the road from the Guinness Storehouse, it does possibly the BEST Irish stew in the city. its small and has few tables but is well worth it. It is also a blues bar so you may catch live blues music in the evenings.
This may sound strange but for anyone interested in irish history than a visit to Glasnevin Cemetery and do the guided tour it's amazing.
Good recommendation!
Top class video which we just stumbled upon. Not too many people have mentioned Wicklow and Wexford, two of the most beautiful and historic counties in Ireland. Glendalough, Glenmalure Avoca in Wicklow and Curracloe, Blackwater and lots of other villages and towns in Wexford and only a couple of hours drive from Dublin. We,re lucky enough to live about 10 miles from Dublin City and pretty much have the best of both worlds on our doorstep. P.S. My wife and I both think your wife is a lovely girl, is it possible to "read" things like that through a video?
Just to add flying into Belfast also there is beautiful scenery an hour from Belfast, the giants causeway, views were game of thrones was filmed etc that can easily be seen on a day trip. Belfast is compact even smaller than Dublin with good history tours. There's is an express train to Dublin multiple times through the day.
Also there is a small airport in kerry called farranfore that's handy if needed.
Donegal has its own airport and spectacular west, rural routes.
Also private own room hostel rooms if you don't mind done shared facilities offer good budget solutions for couples.
Awesome video!
Thank you so much!
This lad made a great video i can't fault him.What i would say though that don't overlook the west and northwest of ireland that is the area west and north of galway city its just as beautiful and probably far cheaper than the southwest.The southwest is great don't get me wrong i have been there many times myself ,but its not only scenic part of ireland.
clay fada2 A couple of locals mentioned that. I will have to return to that area one day and make my way up to Connemara and Sligo.
@@BradySkye You will be very welcome
@@BradySkye make sure you visit Donegal, the most underrated and beautiful place in the country imo
Eoin Byrne I've heard such wonderful things about Donegal. Thanks for the tip. I'll be sure to add that to my list. 👌🏽
@@BradySkye Donegal is amazing
oh, god! so beautiful view! nice trip!!! why the number of Play volume like that? thinks for your video!
Great video and tips. The US preclearance in Dublin and Shannon is a huge advantage in my opinion, while it might take longer on Irish side, you land at domestic terminal on US soil and no immigration or customs as already done it in Ireland. After a long flight, you can get straight out of the airport :-) Its one of the few countries in the world that has this facility.
Thanks for the add Noel! You make a good point. I completely agree with that. I'm excited to have recently acquired Global Entry.
I am here in the Sunny Southeast I hope the next time you come visit Ireland come down to the Southeast and Cork city airport is close by definitely car is recommended so that you can visit where the local go...
Thank you very much..
As a tour driver in Ireland you succinctly captured some of the diversity and beauty our Island has to offer, including the fantastic culinary and beverages, thank you. What drone do you use? Much much more to see please come back.
Many thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. I used the DJI Mavic Pro 2: geni.us/8DLqevz. It has a beautiful image with a Hasselblad lens.
Brady Bigalke I agree, I also use the Mavic pro.
Very Very nice your trip.
I am live in India.
Thank u .
Dipak Khetani very nice, India is far away.
Love the videos. Visiting many of the places that I can only dream of visiting.(because I have a fear of flying) so thank you so much for sharing. Oh. 🇮🇪 i ❤❤❤.
You can do it! Millions of people fly every day (except for right now of course) and it is so much more unsafe to be in a car! Learn about why an airplane flies. The more familiar you are with something the more comfortable it becomes.
@@BradySkye Thank and I will. 👍
Very informative
Happy to hear that! Thanks : )
