This was the highlight of our time in Galway! Bogden was friendly, knowledgeable and flexible with our schedule. He showed us so many sights and shared his vast knowledge about Ireland and specifically about the areas around Galway. He structured the tour based on our interests and time schedule. We highly recommend touring with Bogden!

Austin was amazing. He took us to some really fun places on our way to cliffs of morher. He was super friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend having Austin as your guide for the day. I’d give him 10 stars if I could

    Exceptional experience

    Helen_C, Sep 2025
    Our private tour with Sorin(DC) was excellent. He was very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. We didn’t have to think about where we wanted to go. He had the whole day planned and it was perfect! He had water in the car as well. We highly recommend this private tour for anyone that wants to see Ireland. Thank you!

    Great day in Galway!!

    Teresa_R, Aug 2025
    lovely day! stopped at Hazel Mountain Chocolates and enjoyed some chocolate samples, and then some mint hot chocolate. Headed up to the sheep herding dogs exhibit and enjoyed learning and watching the dogs work the sheep and also learned about the sheep. I was a great day!

    Best way to see the Cliffs of Moher and so much more.

    Missi_B, Jun 2025
    Bogdan, our driver was an excellent guide and host for our family ages ranging 12-83. He had everything planned and handled so that we maximized our time and minimized any stress. We saw a sheepdog show, ate in a great pub, and went to the Cliffs of Moher, and many other surprises I won’t ruin for you. 😊 Truly a relaxing and educational tour with beautiful views. The best way to see the Cliffs of Moher (and so much more) from Galway with your family.

    Wonderful experience

    Ellen_W, May 2025
    Fergus was a phenomenal driver and our group was thrilled with our day trip. He helped relieve us from decision making and took us to a number of stops we wouldn’t have thought to hit ourselves. He was flexible, informative, and patient with our young ones who joined us for the day. Wouldn’t hesitate to book him for another excursion.

    Great Experience!

    Amy_G, Jul 2024
    Sean was our driver and we had a great experience. He gave us tips on places to go and was very accommodating and courteous with our group. Absolutely recommend!

    Response from Host, Jul 2024

    Thank you for your wonderful review of the service you received! We're so pleased to hear that you had a fantastic experience with Sean. Your recommendation is greatly appreciated!

    Best guide/ driver we have ever had

    Chris_G, Jun 2024
    Our driver Fergus Dunne was one of the best guides we gave ever had . Courteous, knowledgeable, caring, prepared. He did everything he possibly could to make our trip a success . His suggestions of places to see were spot on. Such as dogs herding sheep, Showing us things at Cliffs of Mohr most tours miss. He didn’t hesitate to take us on back roads and farms to explore our family’s roots. We will never forget with our grandkids running through cow pastures to an old family cemetery. We have taken a family vacation every summer for over forty years . This one was the best because of Fergus attention to details and his caring attitude.

    Response from Host, Jun 2024

    Thank you so much for your heartfelt review! We're overjoyed to hear that Fergus made your trip so memorable. Moments like your grandkids running through cow pastures to an old family cemetery are truly special. We're honored to have been a part of your familys vacation!

    Wonderful service and so welcoming

    Hugh was an outstanding tour driver—knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. His safe driving and great stories made our trip unforgettable! Highly recommended.

    The winding roads of Connemara

    Maureen_C, Apr 2024
    We had the most incredible experience exploring Connemara with Martin, our private tour guide (despite the rain and hailstorm). I wanted to share not only the traditional tourist attractions in Connemara but also my family connections to this area. Martin’s personal knowledge of Connemara's landscapes, history, and legends was truly impressive. Martin also shared captivating stories. His enthusiasm and love for the area were contagious, making the tour both educational and entertaining. I highly recommend booking a private tour if you want to experience the best of Connemara with someone who truly knows and loves the region. It was an unforgettable day filled with beauty, adventure, and great company! I think my 9 year old grandson summed it up perfectly, ‘Martin was fun, I’m going to miss him tomorrow.’

    Sean was great! We feel incredibly lucky to have been paired with him. He was informative. Highly recommend!

    Quick excursion to Galway!

    Jacqueline_M, Dec 2023
    I was traveling short notice to meet my daughter in Dublin and needed to pick her up get to Galway. I made a short notice for a private car. The gentleman who picked me up was John. He was incredibly helpful. He had a wonderful sense of humor and made our trip so easy. I highly recommend this service and I hope you also get the opportunity to ride with John and his perfectly comfortable Audi.

    Cliffs of Moher & Burren

    Caitlin_F, Nov 2023
    Bogdan was an excellent tour guide! He has a wealth of knowledge & great love & respect for his country. It was such a comfortable trip - he made the effort to show us things we were interested in. Can’t say enough wonderful things! He brought us to a castle, an Abbey, Neolithic stones, beaches, the Cliffs of Moher, lunch in Doolin, many picture stops. Definitely request Bogdan!

    Exceptional!

    Patricia_B, Oct 2023
    I could not have asked for a better driver! John was simply amazing and I highly recommend that anyone wanting a driver with knowledge and experience, that this is your man. My request was not to go to any real touristy places. I wanted to go off the beaten path so to speak. Ruins, cemeteries anything historical. John knew all of the little places to take me. Not only that, he really looks after you. He knows quite a bit of people and was able to get firsthand views. During our conversation, he knew that I love dogs and took me to a sheep herding exhibition with sheep dogs. Did I mention that he opens the car door for you every time? As a solo traveler, he was so accommodating and taking pictures of me against the backdrop. When I come back to Ireland, and I will, I am requesting John. I had such an amazing time and I know it was because of John. If I could give a rating higher than a five star, John is a ten! Thank you!!

    Perfect driver for us!

    MerrieSue_D, Oct 2023
    It was a nice drive with Martin, our driver. Martina was so informative about sites we were passing and gave us ample time at our stop at Cliffs of Mohre. There was confusion on final destination, but we made it just fine. The van was clean and comfortable for our long day.

    A taste of the Irish Coast!

    Paul_R, Sep 2023
    Hugo was an excellent guide! Personable, knowledgeable, and flexible. Truly a delight. Great driver as well. Safe and smooth!

    Wonderful day with Sean / Connemara Chauffeurs

    Phil_M, Aug 2023
    We really enjoyed our day with Sean. He was a very dependable driver and great for conversations. He picked us (3 couples) up in Galway and drove us all over the area. We had a great time and would highly recommend using Connemara Chauffeurs.

    Great day touring western Ireland

    mike_s, Jul 2023
    Great driver adjusted schedule to our needs and very knowledgeable also gave a great dinner recommendation

    Best private driver tour in Galway

    Chris_K, Jul 2023
    We started our day in Dublin taking the train to Galway. Bogdan picked us up right on time at the train station and we began our journey around Galway and County Clare. Bogdan had a great love for the area and a very extensive knowledge of the history that he was only too happy to share with us. We stopped at Dungaire Castle to learn about the tower houses that litter the area. From there we travelled through the Burren discussing the famine walls that crisscross the landscape. Our afternoon was spent at the Cliffs of Moher and the Wild Atlantic Way, exploring the beautiful city of Doolin and the views of the Aran Islands, stopping at McDermott's Pub for a pint before continuing on back towards Galway. At Bogdan's suggestion, we enjoyed a fantastic meal (and a couple more pints) at An Pucan before walking back to the train station for our journey back to Dublin. If we had it to do over again I think we would spend an extra day or two exploring Galway town.

    Give them a try, you won’t be diisappointed!

    Patricia_L, Jun 2023
    Bugdan knew everything and was very personable. We loved him and the full day experience. He took us where we wanted and knew all the pubs for a great pub crawl.
