Hello! We are traveling from Doolin to Kinnitty Castle in Birr then from there to Ballymore Eustace to Russborough House. We will not have a car and would like to hire a taxi or a driver to take us between these places. Can anyone recommend a driver or taxi service?

Tony McGann
Doolin Taxi
We hired him several years ago for half-day and several full-day drives. He was punctual, kind, and responsible, along with a great sense of humor. A year to later, we recommended him to friends, and they also adored him.

Thank you very much, Maggie! I've contacted Tony to inquire and hope to hear from him soon.

Maggie,
Could you give me an approximate cost per day to hire a driver in Ireland?
Thanks,
Molly

Maggie has recommended Tony McGann to us also and we'll use him in October. She says he's the best!

Molly (and any others curious),
I would hesitate to quote the price we had (I think it was) six years ago, as it would only be expected that costs would have increased over that time.
Best thing to do is to contact Tony (or other drivers) to get current rates.

We visited this past July and used a few different guide/drivers. We had great experiences with each one. For your particular destinations I would recommend Peter Mooney Tours. Off the top of my head, I think the price was 350 euros for a full day of touring.

Also, highly recommend Paul Brown - http://www.kenmaretaxitours.com/about-us.html
and Gillian Weldon - http://killarneyprivatetours.com/your-driver-guide/,
I think they stay more to the southwest, but you could still check with them.
Pricing was comparable for all of them.
