15 out of 10 MUST DO if you’re in Ireland
Like clockwork, pickup and drive to Newgrange: flawless. Ticket bands ✅
Time to see entrance exhibition and get to bus to site.
Lunch choices ON POINT and reasonable, positively delish!
ALL the stops on this day were amazing, the driver Kevin kept us informed and his final presentation at Masterboyne was heart wrenching.
JUST GO

Great experience
This tour was amazing. Thanks to Galway Tour and especially to Patrick; he is the perfect guide: professional, experienced and with a great sense of humor. He gave us so many interesting information about Ireland and Irish people throughout the whole day. We will never forget the beauty of the places we have visited. This tour it's the perfect solution if you want to visit the area without driving or without spending hours on planning. The tour arrangement was smooth and easy through Viator. I totally recommend this experience if you're in Galway.l

A Great Day Out in the Irish Countryside!
Our day out with Hilltoptreks was the perfect excursion to see Powerscourt Garden and the countryside south of Dublin. Our guide, Derek, was very personable and efficient with organizing the day. Clear descriptions of the sites visited was appreciated, as well as guidance on timing and drop-off and pick-up locations. Would certainly recommend the package to other travelers. Two minor glitches related to booking with Viator: 1. It was almost impossible to find the name of the tour provider on the Viator booking and 2. When we arrived at the meeting point, the guide didn’t have a way to verify our Viator “tickets” and instead wanted to see a QR code from an email (which we didn’t have available) - better coordination between Viator and the tour provider would avoid confusion.

Full Day of Adventure
It was a full day of adventure- the beautiful drive across the entire width of Ireland, including history and commentary from our excellent driver Kevin, the strikingly picturesque Atlantic and cliffs of moher, the gorgeous burren, a stop to buy a nice lunch and time to shop and visit the lively city center of Galway. We loved it!

Rain did not put a damper on it!
Kevin was a great tour guide. Drove that bus through some pretty tight areas without a blink of an eye! We were thankful that we did not drive it! Lol! He took us to Dooley’s for lunch and the food was wonderful. The sheep dog experience was so interesting and fun to watch! It pretty much rained the whole day but we still had a fantastic day!

Our family loved it
Highly recommended tour! Quiggs was an amazing guide—he is incredibly passionate about Irish history and provided a detailed, engaging overview throughout the entire journey. My son absolutely loved his narration and really enjoyed interacting and answering his questions. Even though it was pouring rain, our driver, Anil, made us feel completely safe and comfortable with his excellent driving. Overall, a fantastic experience. I highly recommend this tour, as well as both Quiggs and Anil!

Must See! Border Collie demonstration is AMAZING!
Unbelievable vistas and experiences! Everything we saw became our new “favorite”. Our tour guide (Gina) and driver (Brian) were very knowledgeable and interactive. I loved how we learned to sing the chorus of a Pub song. This is a 20 on a scale of 10!

Beautiful scenic tour of Dingle peninsula
The day trip to the Dingle peninsula was one of the highlights of our entire trip. The land of a thousand welcomes was personified in our guide Sheila and our driver Sean. With their help we spent a day discovering a secluded part of Ireland that is as rich in history than it is its natural beauty. We were offered historical facts, anecdotes, and even some traditional songs along the ride that enriched our experience and gave life to the fleeting views as we rolled through the Irish countryside. We did the tour with our toddler and our baby and they both very much enjoyed their stops. First at Inch Beach, especially our toddler who came back with pockets full of seashells. Followed by the small farm where they had the best time of the day petting and feeding goats, sheeps, horses, ponies, donkeys and even alpacas of all shapes and sizes. A short ride later we were at the beehive huts, a very interesting look at millennia old structures. And lastly lunch in Dingle by the water. This whole tour was filled with pride and love for the land and its people that is contagious. If you want to experience and learn Ireland, this is a tour you won’t soon forget.

SLAINTE - The newlyweds Marcus & Michelle
The weather we had was everything IRELAND had to offer except for high heat and freezing cold, everything in between was given - dress in Layers and bring a windbreaker/rain coat.
The tour guide we had - BOBO- was absolutely brilliant in locations, histories, and personally funny stories. The tours of the castles and self guided tours were perfect. Explanation of time allowed at each sight, pick up/drop off locations were shown and easily found. You will need a full daily tours 3-20+ times to say you enjoyed and have seen some of the sights of Dublin Ireland itself. The tour buses we road on were clean, comfortable, quiet and had space for a larger traveler to sit and enjoy the passing scenery.
The only bad part of all the tours -time - it will get away from you and then your running to the bus, being the last one to get on as everyone else is waiting on you…
Bobo- Thank you for your knowledge, happy wishes for a long happy marriage and life. Bendiciones, salud, amor y vida (blessings, health, love and life) from Marcus and Michelle. Until next time.

Great tour in early May!
There are several short stops on this tour, so be prepared to get on and off! Connor was a fantastic guide and filled the driving time with pertinent information with an engaging personality. We really lucked out with the weather; it was cool and sunny so all the photos are great!

Great day trip!
It is a slow cruise to the Island but very much worth the trip. Expect to spend the day and hope for some sun on the beaches and throughout the hikes. Definitely do try the horse and buggy carriage which gets you back to the dock well before the boat departure.

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.
