Top Ireland Day Trips

Jacob and Tomas were great! The tour was timely, organized, and well-paced throughout the day. They set clear expectations and were incredibly knowledgeable along the way. I especially appreciated the candid conversations surrounding Belfast and Northern Irish history and hearing some of that perspective firsthand from Jacob. The Giant’s Causeway was definitely the focal point of the tour, and I appreciated that we were given the most time there. The Titanic Museum was equally impressive in its own right, though you do need to pace yourself to comfortably get through everything within the time provided. The castle stop was also nice, even if it was mostly a quick photo opportunity. The one stop I could have done without was the Dark Hedges. While they’re nice to see, many of the trees have unfortunately been graffitied, and I felt that time could have been better spent exploring Belfast or having a little longer at the Causeway. Either way, I’d absolutely recommend this tour. It’s a great way to cover a lot of ground and experience something completely different from the pubs and downtown Dublin for the day.

It was great, our driver was knowledgeable. The shepherding excursion was fun. The dog is so smart, the sheep are friendly. Good excursion for the cost. Eat at the food trucks not at the hotel. The food was very bland and pricey. It was a nice way to get out of Dublin

Linda was our guide, and she made the journey truly enjoyable. The places we visited were absolutely breathtaking, and Linda explained everything in great detail throughout the trip. She shared fascinating local stories and provided plenty of interesting insights into the history of each place, as well as Irish culture and its people. Her knowledge and enthusiasm made the experience even more memorable.

This tour was great. Gary our bus driver / tour guide was fantastic. He was very informative and concerned that we all had a good time. The Cliffs of Moher are breathtaking and we were very fortunate that it was a clear day and we had spectacular views. When we were done with the tour and we got back to Galway Gary made several pub and restaurant recommendations. This was a worthwhile tour. Get Gary if you can.

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.

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.

This was a spectacular tour of Kilkenny Wicklow and Glendalough. Kilkenny is an awesome quaint town. The stop before Glendalough with the picturesque, breathtaking views was a great opportunity for pics. The sheepdog demonstration was fantastic and a must do. Everything was perfectly guided by Ollie. I hope everyone would be so lucky to have a tour done with Ollie (really hoping that we get him again during our stay and day tours) Ollie is very knowledgeable and educated us on the history of Ireland from 400AD to current day, all with humor and a fantastic attitude! Ollie was a bonus for our trip!!

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.
