Hey guys what time of year did do your road trip series? Thanks!
When you go to Ireland please please be sure and get some close up shots of your mouth devouring indistinguishable chunks of food. It really adds a, je ne sais quoi, to the family scrapbook. You'll be kicking yourself later if you are showing folks your holiday album and everyone is admiring the food and drink, but you have no pictures to prove that you stuffed it into your cake hole in HD. Really get in there, show some saliva and try to get the uvula in the shot.
Best way to do that is have a soft light mounted to the camera and get really close with 10-35mm lens(iphones work well) so that everything but the far background is in relative focus, nice bokkeh in the back, tonsils in front and stylish foreground blur on your hand holding the fork or flowers on the table up at the edge of the frame. Don't filter though, this will take away from the lovely pigment of the food, and your mouth. In fact, maybe even play with the contrast and add a bit of color boost, color boost is VERY common and helpful in food photography.-and makes it look like you have inflammation in your gums. Increasing contrast will make your darker backgrounds fade a bit more from the viewers' attention, drawing more focus on well lit areas. Boosting color will make the food look warmer, more fresh, makes the reds and greens really pop. Be sure and use flash and take the picture as soon as possible if you want to catch the steam coming up from the plate.
Shooting outdoors, Ireland often has a lovely overcast which gives you plenty of beautiful soft light to work with, so don't bother with filters. Now when the sun is shining bright, it is a great time to add a bit of style with a filter but try to make it suit the subject you are framing. eg Big old building, rustic or cool filter, for fields use something warm and try not to hide the less dominant colors of your subject with the color of the filter.
Bonus points if you have food from a previous meal stuck in your teeth and wince as if in pain while biting in. Good luck and happy shooting.
If you ask a local in NY "where's the crack?" they'd point you toward fun, too.
ask Hunter Biden too....hahahaha
I’m impressed at the respect you show Ireland, it’s refreshing to see Americans who have taken the time to educate themselves on our history, our culture and our customs. Thanks lads.
Livebreatheatsleep a lot of Americans are more like these guys than the stereotypical douchebag tourist.
The American expats like it. I meet a lot of them there in my 15 years living in Ireland.
Just like the Irish are stereotyped in the USA, so are Americans in all of Europe. The thing is, many of us look very European and if we are not fat and loud then you probably assume we are European because we are quiet or a bit introverted so you never know we are Americans unless you hear us talk. There are the loud ones for sure, but it isn't the majority. Nearly all of us are friendly though, that really isn't a stereotype, it's almost the norm, especially if you are from the South we talk to strangers on a daily basis and yet I would consider myself an introvert.
@@vaskylark an American asked my father(a native obviously) how many generations removed he was while they were on vacation in Ireland, stupidest thing I've ever heard anyone say
@@Slippy100 LOL Yeah, I don't understand that either. There are dumb people everywhere, but there are also smart ones ;) My daughter is a year from becoming a doctor and my other daughter is a RN Nurse. Proud Mama here :)
As an Irish man myself , I have to say if I had a hat I’d take it off to the pair of you , very accurate research and much respect . Good on yas.
All very good.
Except the pronunciation on the word Feck, I mean what the feck was tht lads. Don't over think it, it's F eck
You’re kidding, right? There was so much misinformation here that I wondered if they ever visited Ireland at all. To start, a lot of the “intact” historical places have been rebuilt because they were partially destroyed (Bunratty Castle, the Grianan of Aileach, the city gate at Athenry). Irish stew is not made with Guinness. Dublin has a huge St. Patrick’s Day Parade - even though the day was once a religious holiday and the pubs were closed. While you know something about the history of the country, especially the Irish Civil War and the partition of the country, it’s best to stay away from that subject. It’s their country and not our business. Scotland and Wales were both conquered by England before Ireland and actually, the English were invited to Ireland by an Irish chieftain who wanted their help to regain the high kingship. Also, a fairly recent DNA study showed almost no Celtic DNA in Ireland. It’s thought that the native Irish adopted the Gaelic language to facilitate trade.
@@frankstabler1920 Scotland was not conquered before Ireland. Its connection to England started when Scotland's King James VI became King James I of England. The full union didn't come until 1707.
Rain jacket yes! Umbrella no!
You'll come to discover that umbrellas are pretty much useless in Ireland due to the strong winds from the Atlantic.
As a native Irish man I have to say this is a very comprehensive and accurate video with a lot of good practical tips and advice. The only challenge I'd have is where you say St Patrick's Day is not big deal in Ireland. Its literally our national holiday and has now been turned into a week long festival in most cities with lots of parades and other events
I thought so. Because Saint Patrick was a hero for Ireland, so I don't understand why they wouldnt celebrate it.
@@ms.pirate st Patrick was welsh
Irelands patron saint for casting out snakes/ bad energy out of ireland, croagh patrick is wow everyday
Bigger cities galway, dublin cork do huge day festivals for st Patrick's day but honestly americans make a huge beautiful st Patrick's day & a lot of irish celebrate it in america 🫶🏼☘🧚🏻♀
I’m Mexican born and raised in NYC but I have no idea why I have such an intense attraction to Ireland. It’s literally my dream to visit ❤️ I hope that day is soon!
You really should. I come from the Netherlands and visited most of Europe, but i have never met such friendly people like i have in Ireland
Hey! Glad to know I am not alone. I am also Mexican and I love all things Irish
When you do decide to visit,
Let me the first to say .
Cead mile failte,
A hundred thousand welcomes,
Can relate, also Mexican and have been fascinated with Ireland. Fortunately I’m getting the chance to visit later this month!
It'll be here waiting for you.
Me (in Ireland): "Where's the crack?"
My parents: *squinting hard at me* "What did you just say?"
Just got back from Ireland. The country and its people are beautiful. 😍 would recommend to anyone :)
Hi! Do you have any advice on what to say at the boarder ?
I would love to visit there someday!
Do you have any recommendations on where to visit and if I should get an offer that's strictly tour or gives you days by yourself?
@@blueeyedgirl9637 Dublin is nice buttravel outside. Definitely hire a car. Wexford has fabulous beaches and a few castles. I live here, so maybe I'm biased! Kilkenny is a beautiful medieval city. The West is very nice too
@@haleyz.comett3867 What??
I'm Irish and these guys know and have seen more ireland than me ! Good stuff lads..one thing tho ' sláinte' is pronounced slan cha
I would say "Slawn Cha" is more accurate, that missing fada in your slan is critical haha
@@molliewrynne2980 it's spelt sláinté - I only spelt slan for English pronunciation but I'd say it like slan the same way I say slán go fóill....guess it's where your from and what accent you have
Mollie Wrynne depends whos saying it an Ulster Irish speaker wouldn’t put so much emphasis on the síneadh fada
I disagree about St. Patrick's Day not being a big deal in Dublin! When my fiancé and I were there in 2016, all the pubs were full and it was a sea of green hats and painted faces! It was a blast.
Kaitlin Brasuell it is massive !! Lots of street parades and people dressed up !!!
Kaitlin.Your right except many of those people are tourists in dublin.They are parades though throughout the country. and it is celebrated ,but dublin is the one that brings in the tourists.
clay fada true. But he said “don’t come to Dublin expecting a celebration”, but there is! Even if it is all mostly tourists, there is still a lot going on in Dublin on St Patrick’s Day.
Just come to Derry for st. Patricks day!! 😂😂 ireland is amazing and thats all that matters xx
@@razzlekaitdazzle there is they are also national sports events like the club hurling and gaelic football finals usually brings in 30 000 to croke park aswell mostly irish though at these events.swells the numbers though a bit
When I went to Dublin for my graduation trip one of the locals warned us to keep an eye on our bags and to even be careful of wearing backpacks because of thieves during the day. I found it to be the most effective to keep all my bags in front of me and using a sachel instead of a backpack. I loved Dublin though and plan on going as often as I can!

My great grandfather brought my grandfather here to america from ireland in 1890. They immigrated to Pennsylvania. Moved up to NY in the 20s. My grandparents got married in the 40s had my parents in the late 50s. My parents had me in the 90s and here i am today. Ive yet to visit my native land but this helps me see it a little more. Saddened to hear that gaelic is becoming non existent. Thanks for the vid.
About the meal... I've been in Ireland several times with my wife. We used to get a great Irish breakfast in the morning (at the B&B) and then, for lunch, everywhere, you can find "the soup of the day" with some brown bread and salted butter. It is quick and delicious.
One remark about the meal in the pubs at night: you have to know that at 9:30 p.m., often, you cannot have a meal, it is time for the bar and music :)
I spent Christmas in Kilrush last year with my brother in law's family and as someone who had always fantasized about visiting Ireland, it did not disappoint in the slightest. Beautiful country, amazing people, and great senses of humor. What blew my mind, as an American, was seeing the history just thrown in with the modern. Not taken for granted, but so common it's normal. You'd see house, house, house, house, castle ruins from the 1400s, house, house, house, house, ancient fort, house, etc.
I'd also highly suggest the small seaside town of Dingle, Ireland. Both it and Kilrush are along the wild Atlantic way, I do believe. Make sure ya drive Conor Pass if you can, one of the most beautiful drives I've ever been on. This video really makes me miss Ireland!
..Greetings from Ireland, glad you enjoyed your visit...
Hello Vagabros! Thank you for your travel info! We are bringing my mother (of 80 yrs., but she IS the craic) to Ireland in April 2023. Do we need to have covid vaccination proof to enter the country? What are the other Immig./Customs rules we need to look for?
I'm a dubliner and this is fairly spot on ! Only thing is, lunch prices are dependent on where you go.... in Dublin theres a Starbucks on every corner, McDonalds Burger Kings, five guys, nando's ect. Go to temple bar for ONE, just to say you did. Theres good pubs around the river liffey. Go to coppers for a proper Irish nightclub experience 😂if you want a small town vibe beside the sea just outside of dublin Is skerries where alot of tourists seem to enjoy ! Obviously all of the above when Ireland is not in lockdown 😭
Thank you for utter respect of the Irish and showing our culture and our people in the real light
20 - 30 degrees?? This fella having a laugh?
LOL!
Jokes !
He’s not far off😂 it’s more like 17-27
@@niallhickey331 or maybe 14-19 degrees 😂
Sean Fitzpatrick I think they were here in our heatwave summer of 2018. We won't see those kinda temps again for another 10-20 years lol
Most people in Ireland don't actively speak Irish. Everyone learns it in school and you'll see it on road signs etc. but it's not spoken, except for a few small places in the country called Gealtachts
So u mean that people speak and understand English???
so true ,we had irish as a school subject from age 4 -17 and i stil cant speak it ..
@@brutnature5199 The Irish will understand you when you speak English, but there are many different accents in Ireland, so English-speaking visitors may have trouble understanding the locals at times.
@@redmondmacdonagh7557 okk thanks for information
@@brutnature5199 Yup, England were ever so kind to eradicate our primary language when they made plantations in Ireland to take us over years ago. They punished people who spoke Irish. To this day their is only rural areas which fluently speak Irish and even then they also speak fluent English.
The irish governemnt is also in the workings of eliminating Irish as a mandatory subject to learn in school too.. sad times.
Being irish I wouldnt forget Tayto Crisps (cheese & onion), Kimberley, mikado and coconut creams biscuits only found in ireland, coddle, irish stew, onion rings with chips, spice burgers with chips, brown bread with salmon, fresh cream cakes, white pudding with your breakfast fry up, beshoffs fish and chips, Club Orange fizzy drink (yum), the list goes on. I live in Egypt, going home on Monday, cant wait to stuff my face with all of the above 😂😂😂😂
You forgot the battered mars bars 😂😂😂
My great grandfather was from County Cork so visiting 🇮🇪 is on top of my bucket list. I hope I can fulfill this dream soon!
Same here! we would LOVE to go to Ireland this year. It looks increidble!
When you get here don't say you're Irish because that pisses us off. You might have Irish heritage but if they're not your parents then you're not Irish.
@@ricejuice8982 You mean it p!$$e $ YOU off,don't speak on behalf of a WHOLE country !?!
I hope you do too! You will love it!
@@eibhlin5940 as an Irish person myself i can confirm that this makes us all roll our eyes
Celebrating my 4th year living in Ireland this month and I loved the video! Great to do your research about Irish history, yes! And when it comes to the weather... No matter what day of the year: layers, layers, layers everyone! ☔🌧❄🌤🌪⛄
Hi Paula how are you. Greetings from Dublin. Hope you’re safe from Covid. Hope you are now 6 years in Ireland 😀.
Yes it’s a lovely country and the people are friendly. Hope the weather is not too cold for you. Have a good day and stay safe, best wishes 😀 Michael
Thank guys for this educational vlog of Ireland..We really do get fed up of the ridiculous and often offensive Irish stereotypes. Just a few pointers.. The language is called 'GAEILGE'.. Not Gaelic.. Gaelic refers to Irish people and their culture.. What you can say is 'The Gaelic language is called 'Gaeilge' which is pronounced 'Gale-geh'..
"Please" in Gaeilge is 'Le do thoil' which is pronounced 'Leh duh hull'.....Thank you in GAEILGE is ' Go raibh maith agat' which is pronounced 'Guh rev moh agut'.. I hope that helps..btw the surname 'Moran' is commonly mispronounced.It should be pronounced 'MOW-run' with the emphasis placed on the first syllable.
Thank you Abi!
You are very welcome guys.. I know a lot of people struggle with Irish pronunciations so I try to help out where I can ..I love watching your videos guys..You are definitely my favourite travel vloggers ..You obviously love going to Ireland but you don't really tend to talk about Kerry and its absolutely stunning landscape.Have you been down that far?..take care xxxxx
I just tried to explain guh rev mat agut meself to thw lads and scrolled down and saw this 😁
@@Frank-1978 😁
only other thing is 'sláinte' is pronounced 'slawn-cha'! Love the vid!!
20 - 30 in Summer??? What colour is the pot you're smoking? Can get 30 in an oven, that's about it!!!
30° in an oven 🤣🤣🤣
I AM going to Ireland. I am. 2020 that's my year. Can't wait!! Thanks for this video. Very informative and entertaining.
omgg heyy! me too that's why i'm watching this hahaha good luck on your trip
Thanks. And YOU too!!!
Grace Bennion i’m hoping to move there after I finish up college
How wonderful for you. I can hardly wait to land on the Green Isle.
Omg!! Same here and looking forward to it 😀😀😀
Come back to Ireland and go to Waterford! It’s the hidden gem of Ireland, you’ll love it. And next time you visit, go to a “hurling” match.
We need to come back again and explore the "Ancient East Coast"
JaffaMan 04 no no no...northen Ireland is ;)
Grace Mon Northern Ireland is a joke, up the ra cunts.
@@gracemonteith3076 Hardly a hidden gem now since it contains some of the biggest tourist attractions on the island are there/Its like a kerry man saying kerry is a hidden gem
Tehizz your your just angry cuz we’re not apart of Republic of Ireland
Well done lads, as an Irishman I thought it very balanced fair and knowledgeable, Slainte!
A word from a local on camping. There "offically" isnt anywhere you can camp without paying but there are a lot of places where its fine but you need to ask someone local to find them. I've even parked in places with big no camping signs and talked to the owner of the field who told me thats just so he can kick out the assholes. Just make sure people know youll clean up after your self and maybe offer the owner a can of beer if he comes around and youll be fine.
I want to come in low season and would really love to camp to save $$ on accoms while touring around. I'd even be willing to pay to put up a tent as long as it's less than a hostel. If you wouldn't mind sharing any more tips, let me know.
@@al.kenzie Even camping in summer can be a wash-out experience so I wouldn't recommend it in low season unless you have good quality wet gear and lots of layers to stay warm at night.
Lovely video. Just wanted to add something: If someone wants to explore Ireland then May-October is the best time. Days are longer so you can see much. Also, it rains less during these time, while on the other hand, everyday is a rainy day during Irish winter.
I went there and traveled around the whole entire thing and it was amazing I went surfing in Sligo went and slept in the castle and Drove on the wild Atlantic way
Here lads as an Irish local the main thing u need when heading to a plave like irelan is always bring a rain jacket always no mater how nice the weather is
It's expensive here. A travel writer once wrote ' in Ireland you get your pocket picked with a smile ' but i wouldnt want to live anywhere else. As we say here ' tiss a grand little country if we could only roof it. 🇮🇪 ☘ 👍
My Wife and I went to Ireland on our honeymoon in 2020 and one thing that sticks with me to this day is:
We were at a pub and I asked for my 'Check'. The tender looked at me and said "From the states huh?"
I chuckled and said "Yeah, is it that obvious?" and he laughed and said "Well, here we pay a bill. You cash a check." 😂
Spent two weeks in Ireland and enjoyed every moment
Nice!!! When did you visit?
vagabrothers everywhere your videos really helped. Dublin Galaway Killarney Belfast Donegal and one other city
Any special stops you suggest other then Vagabrothers
Well done! An accurate account of Ireland, its history and the people. The scenery is breathtaking but it’s the people that make it.
I attended St. Patrick’s Day celebrations in Dublin in 2014 - 250,000 folks showed up to see some pretty awesome floats and enjoy numerous American marching bands. It was a pretty big thing…
20-30C...yeah I wish.... normal temperature ranges for the summer are more like 16-20C... During our heat wave last summer (2018) with basically no rain for 5weeks it was 20-30C, but usually about 22-25C even during that extream (for us) weather event.
On average it hits 30 somewhere in the country (either Midwest of south east) every 2 years. It’s hit 30 degrees on multiple occasions in the past 3 years in Ennis Clare.
I thought the same when I heard "20-30C"
it was 12c when we got off the plane in Dublin, and never went above 15c, third week of August 2019, rained every day. I was in Ireland last September (2018) it was lovely. but I'm told that is not the norm for Ireland.
Hey @vagabrothers I love your presentation of our island home. Just a couple of things to point out; We Irish never say 'the emerald isle' when referring to Ireland - that seems to be something visitors have taken to. Also ( and I know you fellas haven't done this ) we in the Republic never refer to Ireland as the 'British Isles', despite the fact that many of our neighbours persist in doing so. Long and tricky history, etc. Apart from that, fair fecks xx
When Irish people say pounds they mean Irish pounds not english pounds,as in punts, that was our currency before the Euro
If there are no Irish pounds (punts) why would Irish people say Irish pounds ??????Do they have fond memories......of Irish pounds.??????
I wouldn't say we've fond memories of it, it's just a currency. We'd say it more out of habit more than anything else. It's being used less and less as time goes on.
Hi, I was in Dublin for St. Patricks back in 2007. There was a huge parade. There were American High School Bands, American Fire and Police personnel there as well. The parade is a little bit more artsy than American parades. I was a very good time. The pubs were full.
I just spent four months studying abroad in Limerick, Ireland. I was obsessed with seafood chowder which is everywhere!! Fresh mussels and salmon, yum!!! Dublin is definitely my favorite place in Ireland, I would love to move there one day!
Lucky!!! I never got the chance to study abroad and doing it in Ireland sounds amazing. seafood chowder is seriously the best
Hey 👋 I'm leaving for Limerick Uni in two days for 4 months as well!! Do you have any tips on the city ?
@@lisamn2441 I hope you are enjoying Limerick, have you visited King Johns Castle, Saint Marys Cathedral, Dolans pub, Lough Gur, Adare? There are lots of beautiful walk ways around Limerick.
@@lisamn2441 there are also so many restaurants in Limerick it's difficult to pick out the best. There are buses to the Cresent shopping centre in Dooradoyle, which is indoors and great for a rainy day.
In canteens potatoes are still everywhere. You want some lasagne? Get some chips with it. Want rice? Half of the plate will be chips! XD (I was on Erasmus in Carlow)
Christophe Heckel dont be stealing any of our potatoes😅😅
Christophe Heckel I agree! Each dinner menu I saw had many ways to order your potatoes.
My friend and I are going to Ireland next year! It’ll be my first time leaving Australia. Extremely excited!
Ireland = my favorite place on earth, thank you SO MUCH for giving us another video from there!!
You're very welcome!! We love it there too!
I like the way these guys don't know anything about irish culture but are really respectful and say everything from a neutral view
I love Ireland. I lived there for 1 year (2013/2014) while I was studying English :) I'm from Brazil 🇧🇷
love it! What do you recommend doing? We would love to go to Ireland--and Brazil! Both look like beautiful countries
I keep re-watching this video because it's my all time favorite country. I went three years ago and got to see County Kerry, Killarney, Dublin, Cork, Shannon, Northern Ireland and Galway. Can't wait to go back again. Keep up the great work with the amazing content!
The Green Isle,beautiful beaches and landscapes ,eating out can be cheap or as expensive as you like if you shop around ,main meal can be got for under 20 euro, weather tip ,read the sky before you leave in the morning in Summer we don't get much rain, sometimes we have a habit of asking where are you from?We have a lot of family spread far and wide.
I am going to Ireland in march for my college band, im performing in the dublin st patricks day parade
Brilliant tips! I've lived in Ireland for 18 months and you've inspired me to get out and explore more of my new home country. Thank you!
Firstly that's an excellent video guys and that's coming from an Irish person! I used your Cork video as a guide on a recent visit. The food was nom nom.
Secondly Phonetic pronunciation tips from 20:00
please: Leah-doh-hull
TY: go-rev-mah'ha-gut
Cheers:slaw'in-cha
Couple of extras
Hello: dee-ah-gwidth
Hello response: dee-ah-is-mwuire'ah-gwitdh.
Goodbye. Slawn/Slawn lath (not to be confused with "cheers")
And finally to all Americans ever, for the love of god, Galway is pronounced Gawll-way not Gall-way!!!
Peace, and keep up the awesome travel guides!
Im from Ireland and there’s so many empty country roads so hitching a ride is definitely NOT a good idea. Not everybody is a friendly local. Like everywhere you can stumble across the wrong kind of person.
Mandy Cherie durty farmers “ feck off my land” shur I’d be one of em
The secret about hitching in Ireland is ....don’t walk along the roads Find a crossing or intersection where the traffic is slow.Don’t leave that spot.
Just got back from Ireland on 12.09. It was my first time solo travelling and I loved it. I really need to go back and see a little more of the country, as I thought I'd start slowly I had my hostels booked in advance and couldn't change plans spontaneously.
When we say 20 quid , We are not referring to the British pound, Its the Irish Punt! OUR old currency! 🇮🇪
No we’re referring to 20 euro
I’m going to Ireland with my son in March and this was a great video in my research. Thank you 🙏
Good luck 😂😂
Bring a few raincoats and hoodies please i beg you😂 good luck 🙏🏽
Amazing video from a guy whos grown up in belfast. Thankyou!
This has been by far my favorite "Visit Ireland" blog. Informative, not cloying or twee and pretty concise.
If anyone is going to Ireland you have to do the ring of Kerry - absolutely stunning scenic highly recommend
Thank you for the recommendation! We'd love to go to Ireland this year and will have to check that out
Going to Dublin in March, thank you for the tips
Nice job, seems very comprehensive. About to embark on our first visit to the Emerald Isle and greatly appreciate your insight. We'll be sure to add post-trip comments on any worthwhile findings that build off what you have shared. I love combing through the comments and seeing the Irish natives giving positive feedback to your video. Great job guys - thank you!!!
One of the best times I had in Ireland was when I took Bus Éireann to Limerick and then hitch hiked to Dingle. From there, there are really good places to hire bikes and do8ng a round trip cycle of Slea head (about 36 miles) is totally worth it. Little cheese stores and jewellery places are at one end, and then when you come back to Dingle there is a boat tour to see the resident donphin called Fungi, a sweet ice cream place and some awesome places to have dinner. Amazing camping apots near here too for about €5-10.
This video is everything that makes you guys so unique and great. It’s kinda like the quintessential Vagabrothers calling card. Inspiration packed with practical tips, historical and cultural information and a dash of much appreciated book and movie recommendations. Well done!!
Don't miss the Aran Islands in the west.
They are the best part of Ireland :)
Our best tourist trap
Excuse me its pronounced - wesht.
I was there during Willy Clancy last year pure unreall specially the shipwreck
I LOVE seaweed, my daughter makes the best salad with it. Great, now I'm hungry. My family came to the US from Ireland in the late 1850's. Still have family there.
Thank you for mentioning the top in the morning thing, it's so annoying when people say it. I never heard it until tourists said it
I am from the Ireland why didn’t you show Kilkenny ? It’s beautiful the culture is amazing and we’re one of the best county’s in Ireland for hurling😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
Grand place but it’s not got any unique landscape on a global scale.
Hi there, Vagabrothers. I am from HK. You've got one more fantastic movie introduction of Ireland. This was exhilarating and eye-opening. I learnt a lot from your movie every single parts. You guys are always in depth discussion with us. Excellent. Keep up your good work.
Love this! Greetings from San Diego! How is Hong Kong? We would love to go to China! It looks like such a beautiful country
Slight note that in the intro when it says the language is Gaelic, it's actually called Irish or Gaeilge, Gaelic is a Scottish language
Thank you for this comment. I am Irish, I have been living in England 20 odd years now but when I see people on these kinds of videos say Gaelic, it does my head in. Gaelic is the Scottish language as you say or football.

Some very good tips for first timers traveling to Ireland. I would just like to mention that very affordable accommodations can be found by travelers who access the network of family operated Bed and Breakfasts. My experience has been they are generally very clean with cordial hosts and have great breakfasts. Hosts are happy to offer some local travel tips when asked.
One of the best trip in my life Ireland!!
Great memories ,Thank you Ireland!
I love the history background you always do in your videos! I'm from Ireland and I really appreciate you talking about the foodie scene in Ireland! It's unreal and no one ever thinks of it!
I visited Ireland and just don’t need to discuss politics or religion. I had the best time ever! The best place to visit for sure. People , food and country are wonderful.
Never ever plan trips like this, just walk around go in to a pub and ask the locals where you should go and what to see 😁
My fave thing about you guys are how informative and thorough y’all are. I was never big on history in school but y’all have made it so interesting and enjoyable to learn the history of these destinations. Thank you for that! Keep it up!!
Nice to hear you say great things about my country 🇮🇪🇺🇲
Those are some really good tips for the first time travelling groups in Ireland. Wish I had seen this video before coming.
This was a really well researched video. As an Irish through and through I can confirm everything you guys say. Great work!!
As someone from Dublin! This video was spot on! Well done lads ☘🇮🇪xx
My mother in law is Irish and just moved back there after living in South Africa for 25 years... in December I went to go and visit her , and I must say it is top 5 of my favorite countries ever visited ... it’s stunning and the Irish are so kind 😍
Game of thrones tour in Belfast is a must !!!! 😱😱😍😍 the tour guides are extras from the series! Most amazing experience ever 💃🏻
Oh and be prepared to pick up weight... I picked up 10kg from eating so much 😂
THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT INFO VAGABROTHERS !
Have family there I expect to be going back many times - love Ireland!
I love your vlogs of Ireland, this is my home and i love watching your take on it . I live on the north coast a little piece of heaven. Blessings to you both ☘💗
Dear brothers. I'm your follower since years. I want to thank you for your marvelous work and specially for your ENGLISH!! I'm an English student and I feel like a C1 when I listen to you!! Great job! Your pause, rhythm and pronunciation make it happens. I can understand every single word!!! Thank you very much...
I'm Irish and I never knew we had a cuisine, potatoes and anything is what we usually eat. It tis a very beautiful country especially the west coast there's a mythical mystical atmosphere to it.
Great video - thank you! Can't wait for my trip in September 2019!!!
It's always mind-boggling to me that some people refer to winter to a rainy season when I always associate it to feet of snow 🇨🇦
We say quid from our old current the Irish Punt! Which also called a pound.
I really enjoyed the Howth Cliff Walk just north of Dublin by train.
Like a typical Irishman I only drink on two occasions - when I'm thirsty, and when I'm not.
We have a lot in common.
As a Canadian when he said one or two pints and call it a night I almost went to the next video haha
Wow, thanks a lot!!!!! I'm crazy about this country. Looking forward to visit it afterwards!! And I adore the quality of your videos!! Gorgeous!
Been to ireland on St Patricks day and it was literally a huge celebration...
Tips from an Irish man:
Don’t call it St Patty’s Day. Or St Paddy’s Day. It’s St Patrick’s day in Ireland. Any other name is American.
We don’t drink any more than other countries, but we drink differently. The pub is the centre of the community. People drink there, not at home.
You are absolutely right about the food. Especially about the seaweed. On the north coast it is dried, salted and served in paper bags as an alternative to crisps (potato chips) in pubs. It’s called dulse.
Pubs. Yes. Stand your round. If someone says they want “a Guinness” or whatever, they mean a pint. Unspoken rule is that if you stand or sit at the bar you want to chat. If you sit at a table you want to be left alone.
Finally, I grew up in Belfast in the 70s and 80s. I think describing it as a war zone is a bit dramatic, but it was definitely a tense place. Well done for a fair, balanced and accurate précis of the history.
OK Everyone if you're going to Dublin and you want to avoid the city centre hop onto the Dart[train that serves Dublin] and go to Dalkey.It's around 8 kilometers from the city centre. It's A1.you'll love it .CHECK OUT THE VICO ROAD-BEAUTIFUL.Slainte.
You guys are doing an awesome job selling "my" country! This is the first time watching your video and I look forward to watching all the others! Thank you for highlighting the wonderful things about Ireland! 🤗☘️
By the way thank you so much for mentioning great things about my part of the country, Cork !
Thank you both so much for sharing! I appreciate you especially commenting on knowing a bit about the history and the culture. I am planning to go over to Ireland as things open up after COVID.
I just love Ireland. I stayed in a bed and Breakfast in Dublin and Belfast. And from my homeland Denmark - I booked train - and Bustours to travel west, south and North. I visit: Cork, Galway, the Northcoast (Bushmills whisky, Giant Causeway, Great landscapes and more). It was easy to get around both towns.... I planned some things from and home - but left some space to places the locals suggest. I love the food, music and people. They is lot to see.... I visit the Ulster Museum in Belfast to know about the history of Ireland, to understand.
Thank you. I'm leaving for Ireland in 14 days, first time. I'm excited and nervous all at the same time.
You'll be grand don't worry.
How was your trip?? We are dying to go to Ireland and would love to hear about your experience. Was it as beautiful as everyone says it is?
@@JackandGabExplore I got raped and stabbed when I went there
@@Michael-bf1dt I absolutely love Ireland. I'm not sure if it was the people or the country. Maybe a mixture of both. I honestly wanted to stay. I hope to return again when travel is back open. I hope you are well and safe from covid.
@@Michael-bf1dt Yes I'm definitely in love with Ireland. I'm from North Carolina. It's the southern part of the United states. It will probably be next year before travel from here is safe. Best wishes and stay safe.
P.S What part of Ireland are you from?
Such an accurate video! As an American who has immigrated to Ireland, I could not agree more with what you guys said! Definitely sharing with all my friends before they visit!!!
I love Ireland so much, very welcoming people and great great nature
