Top Ireland Layover Tours

Cant reccomend this enough. Kevin was great providing us with great commentary and entertainment. A good choice of stops with lunch at a pub, although it was a bit messy how they handled payment which was not the tour operators fault. Worth going just to hear Kevin sing!

Robin was great! Would book with him again

Great day. Terrific guide. Saw many different things. Loved lunch at a very authentic pub. Would definitely recommend.

Wonderful day! Reached out to Robin pretty last minute and he was able to work around his schedule to accommodate us (group of 5) which we were very grateful for. He planned our itinerary taking into account everything we wanted to see and he gave us suggestions on highlights to see as well. Fun day at Blarney Castle, Cork, and Jameson Distillery. He made sure to have us back to our ship for departure time and took that into consideration throughout the day. We would highly recommend Robin and will definitely book another tour with him if we are in the area again! Thanks, Robin!

We know the Cliffs of Moher through this tour. Ireland, guide Ricardo and the entire operations team were excellent

Best tour we probably ever had. Everything was great from Costumer service to our beloved Tour Guide and driver. We would recommend this tour to anyone. Must do in Ireland!

She was fantastic. Learned tons pleasant helpful nice has a PhD in philosophy so unbelievable interesting facts and historical details ! GREAT

My wife and I booked a private day tour with a car and driver that took us from our hotel in Dublin to Glendalough and the Wicklow Mountains and back. Brian, our driver, was perfect, exhibiting the wit, wisdom and gentle humor of the Irish. He knew the countryside intimately and was able to take us to some fabulous locations with breathtaking scenery and interesting history. We were also able to customize the itinerary to meet our specific interests and had as much or as little free time at any of the stops as we desired. All in all, we had a wonderful experience in the Irish countryside. I would highly recommend a private car and driver for anyone who does not want to navigate the small country lanes or confusing city streets on their own (all the while driving on, what is for us, the wrong side of the road). It is also a prefect way to set your own agenda and avoid the rush and the crowds of a scheduled bus tour.

We highly recommend Brian as a private tour guide. He was knowledgeable, personable, and custom designed the tour to meet our sightseeing requests. We would not hesitate to tour with him again.

We had a great day with Kevin, learning about the Donegal area and seeing many sights. He was informative and had a great sense of humor. Driver Dan also did a great job.

Absolutely wonderful day with Kevin and Dan the driver. A Very friendly and experienced guide; Kevin filled us in on Irish life, each place we visited and answered all questions. The scenery and vistas were breathtaking; lunch was great and Kevin provided outstanding song and guitar on a few songs. Don’t miss this tour-so happy we did this one instead of the version from our cruise line.

This tour with Robin was superb. Vehicle was very comfortable. He narrated along the way and showed us maps game. A few comments on my ancestry were different relatives were from as we drove around. He listened to what we were interested in and created an original beautiful day for us the place he dropped us off for lunch was superb. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

We had a great time with Robin. Saw so many wonderful sights. The memorial to 911 first responders was surprising and moving. Would highly recommend!!!

This was an amazing trip!! We booked online and booked the Dublin to Cliffs of Moher private day trip. Driver promptly arrived at our hotel at 7 AM. We went to Barack Obama Center for a quick photo and snacks. Proceeded to the Bunratty castle, which was so cool! Then went to the cliffs, Galway, where we went off on our own for shopping and shops. Then we asked the driver if we could stop at Sean’s pub on our way back to Dublin and he said no problem. Sean’s pub is the oldest pub in Ireland with Guinness world record displayed on the walls. We were there long enough to grab a beer, photos and break up the long drive from Galway to Dublin. I’d like to note Eduardo was our driver. He was super nice guy and drove with both hands on the wheel. We felt safe the entire trip. However, we speak only English and he did not know English. He spoke Portuguese . This was not a problem for us as we have the Whats app and also there’s free translator apps online that you can download and I was easily able to communicate with my driver. Hands down an amazing day!!

We booked a private tour to bunratty castle, cliffs of moher, Galway and even got to stop by the oldest pub in Ireland on our way back. Eduardo was our driver and spoke little English but using the what’s app to help us communicate made it no issue at all. The only thing I would have enjoyed more was a bigger vehicle for the long drives to sight see better.

Our group of 5 (all seniors) had a wonderful day with Brian during our one day cruise stop in Dublin. Brian began the tour with a drive down the south coast to see the beautiful views and to show us homes of the "rich and famous" in the area. Then we headed to the Wicklow Mountains for an outstanding day with several stops along the way. Brian shared a lot of history about the areas we toured. I would definitely book with him again the next time we're in the Dublin area.
