Kilkenny, Wicklow and Glendalough Sheepdog Trials from Dublin

Shana_C, Apr 2026

This was a great bus...

This was a great bus tour. Krishna was an excellent bus driver and so friendly. Murphy was knowledge and funny, and I was impressed when he took us on a short hike. Every part of the bus tour was great, with the obvious highlight being the lambs! Richie Cullen's sheep farm is a must see. I learned so much about while getting to see impressive dogs and cute sheep. My only complaint was that there wasn't merch!

Peter, our guide, and...

Peter, our guide, and Jose, our driver, were so lovely! Peter is a wealth of historical knowledge, we learned so much. The bus was comfortable and the windows very clean for viewing the beautiful countryside. In April the Dark Hedges was less impressive....and it's a bit of a walk to the actual site so by the time we reached it my mother, who has bad knees, did not want to walk the whole thing. Giants Causeway was a better experience for her, a nice bench for viewing while I hiked. The castle was just a drive by, but we also stopped at a few overlooks and got great photos. Didn't use the bathroom on the bus, Jose made enough stops for our convenience, but it was reassuring knowing it was there if we needed it. All in all a great experience, thanks mostly to Peter!

Cliffs of Moher, Burren and Galway Day Tour from Dublin

Josephine_H, Apr 2026

Enjoyable day trip

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and fun, and gave us so much interesting information and insight as to places we were going to. The cliffs themselves are stunning and well worth the drive through the also beautiful countryside to get there. Every stop included (The Burren, Galway, O’Donohue’s Pub) is fantastic and I would highly recommend this tour to anybody who wants to see some spectacular scenery, learn a bit about Ireland, and not have to navigate the roads themselves.

Northern Ireland Tour a Must

Growing up in the 80s and the perspective I was taught about the politics of Northern Ireland was quite a contrast to the reality of the people living there. The black taxi tour is a must and a valuable learning experience. Our driver was insightful and gave us time at all of the stops to take in the scenery. He also had an array of sharpie markers handy to let us sign the peace wall. After that experience we had plenty of time at the Titanic Museum to use their restrooms and get a nice lunch at their café. Onward we went on to more amazing stops such as Dunluce Castle and the Giant's Causeway. Our tourguide Steven O'Malley gave up information about every stop seamlessly while weaving in pop culture information and occasionally breaking in to song. We enjoyed a nice hot dinner at the Nook pub by the Giants Causeway before heading back to Dublin.

Excellent tour. We chose...

Excellent tour. We chose the Titanic option as opposed to the taxi tour of Belfast. The tour provides plenty of time to explore the museum but I would skip the first two floors as they provide generic information on ship building in Belfast(unless that is your interest). We spent more time on the upper levels that focused specifically on the Titanic. Leave extra time to explore the story about the mission to find the wreckage; well worth the time even if it means bypassing some of the general information about Titanic.

Lucy_S, Mar 2026

Beautiful trips!

My daughter and I went on this tour using Finn McCools Tours! It is our first time visiting Ireland and our tour guide Quiggs was so very educational and so very informative. He was very humerous and had a lot of fun facts about the history of Ireland. He was a true Irish man that could speak the Irish language. His media of showing us pictures of what he was talking about was so very helpful, and pretty insightful. The different types of Irish music was also very relaxing to hear during our bus ride. Quiggs was pretty cool to play such different sounds and styles of the Irish music. Our driver Jose drove us safely to all of our stops on the trip. He was a great driver. I really enjoyed every stop we got to see. The cliffs of Moher was a bit windy, but overall the views were spectacular. You will not be disappointed taking this tour. I recommend Quiggs as your tour guide and definitely a plus if you get the driver Jose. They make a great team, and I do love that our group of people were all on time to the bus to make it to all of our next destinations. Beautiful country side and beautiful scenery. Will definitely take more tours with this tour group!

Celtic Boyne Valley and Ancient Sites Day Tour from Dublin

Francisco_F, Mar 2026

Excellent experience!!

The Hills of Tara are just amazing! The tour guide, whose name i cant remember, was amazing. He walked with us and was very knowledgeable. He gave the group Irish mythology stories ad explained all about the Cairns and mounds. The views are extremely gorgeous in each and every stop. From the hills to the Abby we just could not grasp how gorgeous, luscious, and green everything is. There is some intense uphill walking that my wife was bot able to complete, so keep that in mind when booking. She has a bad knee and it is a steep hill.

Dublin to Dunluce Castle, Giant's Causeway and Belfast Day Tour

Lauren_S, Mar 2026

Day trip from Dublin

Stayed in Dublin but wanted to see the countryside and ocean. This made for an easy day to do a bit of both. Beautiful 2-hour ride (coach was comfortable and has huge windows for viewing) to Belfast for a quick breakfast and on to Dunluce castle which was incredible. Then Giant's Causeway-- if you're not much of a hiker, walk the long road down to the shore and take the bus back up for lunch at the hotel. Belfast walking tour was ok. The guide was sweet but talked mostly about politics and the past violence in the area. Maybe thats just Belfast but it was more him talking than seeing. It's a 1-hour walk around a couple blocks with long pauses. Maybe use that two hours to explore on your own. Our driver and guide Krishna and Rory were warm and friendly. They had the day perfectly timed out and made everyone feel welcome. Rory is knowledgeable and funny, and you'll have a much better understanding of Irish history and culture and politics after this tour. Excellent day 10/10. Only would have liked more time at Dunluce Castle. Thirty minutes felt a bit rushed; 45 might have been perfect.

Glendalough and Wicklow Mountains Half Day Tour from Dublin

Maundy_M, Mar 2026

We Recommend, Even in Rain

We took a relaxing ride to Glendalough. Our driver, Michael, was great. He told us about some of the history along the way without talking too much. We left for two hour to explore on our own, which we loved. It rained but we walked around the monastic ruins and the cemetery. The we took a walk up to the lakes. Because it began to rain sideways, we didn’t go as far as the waterfall (though there are small ones along the way). Instead, we headed back to enjoy some hot chocolate and pastries (gluten-free options, too!). We’ll do this again on the next trip, and hope the weather will be better. All-in-all, we’d recommend this trip even in light rain.

Dublin: Glendalough, Wicklow, Kilkenny and Sheepdog demonstration

Elexciss_T, Mar 2026

Had such an amazing time...

Had such an amazing time on this tour. We left promptly (don't be late!) and had a really lovely morning at Glendalough. Luke was our guide, really funny & charming. Was quick to offer recommendations of things to see & do no matter where you were headed. He provided back story on the places we visited and fun facts such as filming locations of iconic shows. Also loved that he repeated questions he got asked by others after each stop. Anyway back to trip, we lucked out with it being a beautiful sunny morning at Glendalough. It's so peaceful. Definitely take time to sit and absorb your surroundings. At the top of Wicklow, a lovely older man named Jim was there who shared a little bit about working on the power station there. Luke also volunteered to take photos (thanks!) and let everyone have their time. The sheepdog demonstration was so much fun. And vying with Glendalough for my favourite part of the experience. Seeing how the dogs work and how much control the Sheppard has over them was so cool to see. The gent also shared some of the difficulties of Irish farming which I also appreciated and deserves to be acknowledged. I did get to hold a bottle feed a baby lamb so.. best day ever?? Next was Kilkenny, it was a little rainy by then but a cute small town to explore. Didn't do much here since I popped into a restaurant to eat - Aroi - food was really delicious. Eli was our driver and he was great as well. I was able to completely knock out on the way back with no interruptions 😅 that's smooth driving.

Giant's Causeway UNESCO, Dark Hedges & Belfast from Dublin

Irma, Aug 2025

Great tour!

It should just be for Causeway and the Dark Henges. Belfast was not that great. But the other two made it great. It really is just a shuttle to the places. The driver of the bus was great and caring. Good experience but Belfast was not all that great unless you take a black cab tour which is an add on to the trip. Which I did.
