Great Value
Great value for money- particularly if you want a whistle stop tour of the ring of Kerry to plan for a longer trip in the future ( as I plan to). Excellent route with stunning views despite the clouds! I’d like to give a big shout out to Connor, our driver and guide. He gave us so much background, history, anecdotes and stories on the way. A worthy 11 hours spent and a great craic! Will spread the word and will be back. 🤩
Thanks again

Sensational vistas, wonderful guide
This was a fabulous tour and Bat (Bart) was an amazing guide. He told so many funny stories and even sang for us. He had the entire bus entertained and laughing. This was one of my favorite tours from our 10 days in Ireland. The views are incredible. You stop at many beautiful vistas. And you also see beautiful green countryside, steep cliffs, and coastal views along the drive. I'm so glad we didn't drive ourselves. The roads are so narrow!

Highly recommend this tour
Kevin was our guide, and he was wonderful (funny, knowledgeable, entertaining). We got to see some beautiful sights even though we missed some because it was so cloudy. Definitely glad we didn't try to drive the Ring of Kerry ourselves (the roads are SO narrow and I want to be looking at the hills/cliffs/coast and not at the road!)
Kevin had lunch all planned out so they were expecting us and the restaurant had great beach views. The sheepdog demonstration is fantastic.

Unforgettable cruise to Inisheer & Cliffs of Moheer
Exciting trip to the smallest island of Aran Islands & amazing views from below and from above to the Cliffs of Moher. Also touring in the rugged landscapes of the Burren was interesting.
Alan was an amazing guide AND driver. First I couldn’t believe that the sama person was both driving and guiding us! He was very knowledgeable, funny, organised and took excellent care of us!
He told us interesting things about the history and life on Irish people both in Ireland and around the world.

Best trip to Glendalough and Powerscourt Waterfall
This tour was one of the most memorable parts of our trip. From the start, our guide Jonathan made us feel welcome, comfortable, and excited to explore. His passion for the history, culture, and local traditions was infectious, and his stories truly brought each place to life. He was also incredibly funny, keeping us smiling and laughing throughout.
A particularly special moment was when Jonathan sang an Irish song about the Easter rising—it added such a heartfelt, authentic touch and made the experience even more unforgettable.( I visited Kilmainham Gohl the day before so it was really deep emotionally when I heard his song)
What stood out most was how much he genuinely cared about everyone having a great experience. He was patient, kind, and always happy to answer questions or share insights you wouldn’t find in a guidebook. It felt like being shown around by a friend who loves his home and wanted us to love it too.
Thank you for giving us more than just a tour—you gave us lasting memories. We’ll always remember this experience with a smile and can’t recommend it highly enough. If we return, we would choose this tour again without hesitation.

Excellent Tour
We had a great experience on this tour. I recommend requesting Bobo as your driver if you are able. He was informative, personable and he even sang to us. We had a great experience. Although we were allotted 2.5 hours, I wish we had more time to explore the grounds at Blarney castle. We did have time to kiss the Blarney Stone, walk the Poisonous Garden, grab a quick lunch and get some great souvenirs.

We enjoyed every moment...
We enjoyed every moment of this tour. Gary is not only an excellent driver navigating the narrow, winding roads, but, also, an amazing tour guide sharing wonderful stories, Irish lore, and historical information with humor and wit. Also, those of us with motion sickness, he provided a secret remedy, which really worked. This was an outstanding tour and I highly recommend it.

Beautiful day trip!
We had a beautiful sunny day to visit the island and it was perfect weather to enjoy the view from the water of the Cliffs of Moher too! The ferry loading/unloading was efficient and the ride was enjoyable. Definitely have a plan for what you want to do when you get to the island . There are a lot of great options and not enough time for all. We did a great hike with beautiful views and had time for beers before heading back.

Mick's enthusiasm for Irish history made this tour unforgettable!
There was so much packed into this tour: neolithic sites from 5,000 B.C., sacred Celtic gathering places, an 850-year-old castle, an atmospheric medieval abbey, and even a whiskey demonstration! Yet we had time to do it all somehow, even with a relaxing sit-down lunch in a lovely village. Our guide Mick's enthusiasm for Irish history made this tour unforgettable.

Beauty and Awe!
The Wicklow Mountains are amazingly beautiful. I loved just getting off the bus and looking in all directions. The gardens and grounds at Powerscourt is stunning. Our guide Linda was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I would say that when in Ireland these sites should not be overlooked.

Incredible site to see...
Incredible site to see especially if you are short on time but want to get out of Dublin (but you have to strategically maximize your time when you get to the site as you only have a few hours and there’s quite a bit to see and a fair amount of walking). It was a very smooth drive and very peaceful seeing Irish farmland ans plenty of sheep!! Our driver was really funny and informative.

Excellent Tour
We were not sure about doing this tour as it can be a long day. However, this tour was awesome! Great driver, excellent views (we luck out with great weather), and the trip was well organized. Also, loved the lunch stop, great food options! We stayed on time and even made it back early around 7pm.

Not seeing something you are looking for?
Ireland is packed with wonderful places to visit, but trying to fit them all into one vacation can feel stressful. Ireland day trips let you take in several sights in a single day and help you learn more about local history and culture than you would alone. Whether you want to walk famous coastal causeways or kiss a lucky stone, an Ireland day trip saves you hours of planning.
