What are people saying about Dublin

Dublin to Dunluce Castle, Giant's Causeway, Dark Hedge, Belfast

Vicki_L, Jun 2026

Short tour of Ireland

Really enjoyed the tour. Beautiful scenery. We stopped our tour at Belfast and then spent a few days there. Not a problem with all of our luggage. Our tour guide kept everyone on time. A bit disappointed with Dun Luce Castle. My understanding is that we didn’t have permission to stop on the property.

Day tour to Kilkenny etc

Such a lovely day!! Iain our guide was fantastic, so knowledgeable and full of craic. He was always happy to help with recommendations for our stops of where to eat and what to see and do. Our driver Pete was also great and managed to get us where we needed to safely. The trip was on a day with very warm temperatures but that didn’t spoil our day. The sheep farm might’ve been the highlight of the day. 10/10 all round, Iain definitely made the trip so fun.

Celtic Tour

It is a very hilly walk so definitely dress appropriately esp footwear. (If you are not a walker this is not the tour for you). The scenery is absolutely gorgeous! Even in the pouring rain! Our guide Derrick was absolutely delightful. Lots of great information about the local history!

Great tour. Samantha was amazing.

Great tour. Samantha was amazing. She gave us so history and great information about Trinity College, library, Book of Kells, Molly Malone and Dublin Castle but also lots of info about the area; shops, rests and pubs. Feel like we really know a lot more about the city and where we want to shop and eat now.

A must do!!

It was an incredible trip. Daithi and Michael made it even more special. Daithi is an exceptional storyteller, and Michael is not only a kind person but also a great driver. I highly recommend this tour. We chose to see the Titanic, and it was moving to see the actual violin on display. The Giant Causeway was spectacular.

Dublin to Rock of Cashel Cork City and Blarney Castle Guided Tour

Greg_L, Jun 2026

Great Day Trip!

First, this is a long day. A full 12 hours with at least 6+ hours in the bus. Despite that, this is a great day trip from Dublin. If visiting Dublin, it is nice to get out of the city for a day. The trip has 4 stops- 1 hour in you stop at a rest station for drinks, snacks and a bathroom break. Then a little over an hour to the Rock of Cashel. This place is beautiful and worth the stop. We were. Here about 45 minutes. Then another 2 hours on the bus to reach Cork. Cork is a fun clean city. A lot of shopping and food options. You have about an hour and half here. Make the most of it. This is followed by about a 20 minute ride to the Blarney grounds. Everything is amazing here. The castle is beautiful and the grounds are immaculate. You have about 2 hours here. The hike to the Blarney stone is relatively easy if you can walk steps. The line was short, but it could be very long. The town is cute and a nice place to grab a drink after. To finish the trip you have about a 2 hours trip back to the rest station, the. Another hour and 20 minutes back to Dublin. Great trip, but be prepared for a long day.

Victoria_D, Jun 2026

Great day trip

Terrific day trip from Dublin. Even though it is a full day, there is a good break up of activities so it feels short. The Powerscourt Gardens are spectacular even in the rain . We especially loved the Japanese Garden section and the roses of the Walled Garden. The surrounding mountains gave the garden a stunning backdrop. Lunch was a cute and efficiency place too. Glendalough was special. Old. A thin place. Nice scenic drive too with photo stops.

It was a long day of...

It was a long day of travel but very worth it. Dave and Warren communicated well about expectations and departure times. They had a great musical playlist for the down time and Dave also gave interesting history facts along the way. The Black Cab was very informative and "Pat with the Hat" was a great guide. We were lucky that the rain held up for each destination so we could move about with limited issue. I think it was worth the time and money.

Fun Day Exploring the Beauty of Ireland

After a bit of a difficult start as the driver was delayed due to traffic and we had to make up time, we had a fun day exploring Ireland. The driver Brian was so knowledgeable about each of our stops and telling us about Ireland. He was even witty with a dry sense of humor.
