I’ve mentioned each of these in other posts but thought I’d compile a separate list, as well.
Thrilled to recommend all of the following:
Dublin walking tour— Dara McCarthy
Cliffs of Moher/Burren private guide and driver — Scenic Ireland Tours (Trevor)
Belfast walking tour— Petra Herrmann
Antrim Coast/Giants Causeway/Glens — Craicntour (John Robbin)
AVOID: Killarney Executive Tours Dingle Peninsula Tour
Happy to answer questions about any of these guides!
Thank you for the recommendation. We used John Robbin at CraicNTour for a day tour along the Antrim Coast to Giants Causeway. He was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the area and was very entertaining. The tour was the highlight of our vacation!
Thanks for letting me know and I’m so glad you also had a fantastic experience with John!
Thank you for these recommendations.
Can you please share what you paid for the Scenic Ireland Cliffs of Moher/Burren guide and driver and how long the tour was?
Thanks again for any help!
I have a 7 hour layover in Dublin and looking for a driver to pick us up at the airport, take a driving tour of Dublin, then drop us back. This is just to get the lay of the land so we can better plan our full trip when the weather is better. Any ideas for private drivers in Dublin? Thanks!
Cindi — we didn’t investigate car and driver tours for Dublin, so I’m afraid I can’t help you there. I will warn you that traffic to/from the airport can be heavy and you should probably count on no more than 4 to 5 hours of actual sightseeing with your 7 hour window.
M&M, I believe you can customize both the length of your tour and to some extent the cost with Scenic Ireland tours. Our day trip with Trevor began at 10:00 and ended by 5:00. (I’m not sure of the exact time we returned). You should be able to connect with him or his dad directly at [email protected]. If you google them, there are a number of companies with similar sounding names— look for the father and son company based in County Clare.
Good luck to you both and enjoy your travels— we absolutely loved our visit this spring!
