15 Private Tours in Ireland That Repay a Full Day

The Dublin Private Walking Tour - College Green and Trinity College put history under your feet

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 701 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $163Our pick

Review of Dublin’s private walking tour, with Trinity College, Temple Bar, Irish history, local tips, pricing, pace, and practical advice.

“Conor was fantastic! He communicated well before the tour, so meeting up was easy. Our tour exceeded our expectations in every way! Conor’s knowledge of the city, history, and culture was extensive. He made everything entertaining. The 3 hour tour flew by. A bonus was that he stopped to take pictures at every stop, tracked our tour, and then sent us a great link that contained everything set to music! It was a wonderful memory of the experience. I can’t recommend Conor and this tour more! It was exceptional!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 217 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $695

Review of Galway’s private Cliffs of Moher tour, with the Burren, castles, sheepdogs, Doolin lunch, costs, timing, and practical tips.

“We enjoyed the cliffs, chocolate factory and sheep dogs. We’re surprised that the tour didn’t include the cost of any of the stops and we had to pay additional fees. Our driver Tom King while friendly, immediately put of Irish music as we parted and really didn’t talk to us unless we initiated the conversation. On the way back, he put on the football game and again didn’t share much unless we talked to him. We traveled with a group of 12 so had 2 vans, the other driver Owen was much friendlier and informative. Overall a bit, disappointing for Viator private tour.”

Our driver went above and beyond during our trip. I forgot an item in the car and he made sure to get it back to me. I cannot say enough about how happy we were with this excursion.”
