Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Celtic Chauffuer Services was absolutely AMAZING!
We had a wonderful trip scheduled to Ireland on May 23rd and due to the Coronavirus had to cancel. We were looking forward to a wonderful trip with a wonderful driver Fergus Lally. From the very first contact Fergus assisted us in securing a spectacular itinerary and followed up numerous times with calls and emails to ensure everything was in order. So it’s no surprise that when I reached out to them regarding our cancellation, they were very understanding and accommodating to our needs. Without question or hesitation they proceeded to reimburse us 100% and with no booking/cancellation fees (something unheard of these days).
Although disappointed with having to cancel, our prayer is that the Coronavirus is soon over so that we can reschedule this long life dream of visiting your beautiful Country.
Thank you Fergus and Celtic Chauffuer Services for working with us! We hope to meet up someday very soon! As they say in Texas ....Be safe Y’all!!

The four of us had an absolutely FANTASTIC 3 days with Tony and Fergus! They both have encyclopedic knowledge of all the areas we visited, from Galway to Ballina to Cong then on to Dublin. Not wanting to drive in Ireland, using Celtic Chauffeur was not only the perfect solution, but the pricing was comparable to renting a car - without the aggravation of driving. We were also treated to some local flavor by stopping to watch and learn how the dogs herd the sheep. Amazing! Thanks again Tony and Fergus for giving us a grand tour!

Anne Marie and Fergus were terrific to work with! They helped us set up our 6 day itinerary, and arranged transportation from our hotel in Dublin to Cork and Galway along with day trips to the Ring of Kerry, Cliffs of Moher, and Connemara. Their Mercedes van with attached trailer (for golf clubs and luggage) was comfortable and roomy enough for our family of 5. And, our drivers, Raf and Tom, were first rate! They were polite, professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and flexible. We enjoyed the many stories they told of Irish history and lore. We learned a lot and shared many laughs. We would absolutely recommend Celtic Chauffeur Services and hope to have another opportunity to use their services one day.

We recently used Celtic Chauffer Services for a company day trip though Connemara. Their service was excellent. Our driver was on time, friendly and very knowledgeable on the history of the area. We had a full itinerary for the day and we got to each location very comfortably (even when making a few detours to see some sights that weren't planned... bonus!). If I could give this company 6 stars, I would.

We arranged a return pick up from Dublin Airport and a (originally half day) tour to the Connemara National Park with Fergus - what a fantastic experience!
Fergus was friendly, professional and drove safely. He shared a lot of local knowledge and tips with us for Galway and always made sure we had a wonderful time. The car was very comfortable and stocked with complimentary water and santinising wipes.
On the tour to Connemara, he brought us to this amazing fjord in the countryside for a sheepdog demonstration and then suggested a great spot for lunch - the freshest mussels with a beautiful view!
I would highly recommend anyone looking for airport pickup or local private tour in Ireland to contact Fergus at Celtic Chaffeur!

Booked through Fergus for multiple legs of a trip through Ireland and couldn't have been more satisfied. Comfortable Mercedes sedans driven by prompt, friendly professionals who are more like Blue Badge tour guides. Peter Rafferty, in particular, went the extra mile during our transfer from Ashford Castle to Kinsale, suggesting stops at unique landmarks and running into a restaurant to ensure they could accomodate my celiac wife. The best way to see Ireland.

Fergus Lally was our driver and guide from Celtic Chauffeur Services and he was a wonderful addition to our Ireland adventure. He provided value-added experiences beyond our expectations. Fergus wiskedd us safely through airport traffic and delivered us to our hotel. Our transportation was always safe and comfortable and colored with his extensive and scholarly knowledge of local customs and history. He loved his work and made our time with him informative and enjoyable. Our tours with Fergus took us to the breathtaking Cliffs of Moher and wound through the Wild Atlantic Way. We visited Canberra and the sites around the filming of the "Quiet Man". We visited a sheep farm where we watched a sheep herding dog flawlessly perform. We felt enormously comfortable and pampered by Fergus. We would highly recommend this company for transport and touring!

Thanks to Anne Marie, we had a beautiful day touring from Galway to Cliffs of Moher and back. On the way and on the return, we learned a lot about the areas, made fun stops and had a fun lunch in Doolin. Since our trip consisted of rain, sun, hail and wind, lots of wind, every stop was an adventure and Anne Marie was always there with umbrella in hand, adjusting temperatures for us and ready to give us anything we needed with a smile. I highly recommend Celtic Chauffeur Services!

Anne Marie has a magnificent 'touch and feel' for the exact mood of your trip, and shares her lifelong passion for travel and hospitality in County Clare. We were met at Shannon Airport and whisked off to Galway City in a beautiful Mercedez SUV with more than enough room for the 4 of us and our luggage. The next day we had a wonderful day trip to the Cliffs of Moher! Anne Marie is fabulous - she shares interesting and educational insights and stories along the Wild Atlantic Way, as well as recommendations for the best restaurants, pubs and stores in Galway City. She and her husband are both from Galway and have raised their family there as well, providing that important local, insider's view of the city and the coast. We highly recommend Celtic Chauffeur on your next trip to Ireland! The McDermotts

From the moment Fergus picked us up at the airport in Dublin we were certain we were in the care of the best of the best. His friendly, warm demeanor was delightful even through our jet lag haze. Fergus picked us up upon our arrival in Dublin and drove us to Galway. We stopped at historic Clonmacnoise along the way, and when we arrived in Galway, Fergus recommended an excellent restaurant for lunch, Ard Bia at Nemmos.
On our second tour day, Fergus took us to see the Cliffs of Moher and the Burren. Along the way, he stopped at several local places, including Hazel Mountain Chocolate (delicious and wonderful!) and the Aillwee Cheese Shop. After the Cliffs, he took us to lunch in Doolin and drove along the Wild Atlantic Way, the coastal scenic road of Ireland.
It is clear that Fergus is incredibly knowledgeable about Ireland. He not only gave us great context of what we were looking at and why it was important, he also regaled us with interesting stories from his time doing tours. His love of Galway and the surrounding area as well as the country as a whole was infectious.
We requested a guide that would show us the local spots and places that are “off the beaten path,” and Fergus did just that with a smile and a great sense of humor. We never felt rushed or pressured to move along. He encouraged us to take our time at every stop so we were able to explore at our own pace.
At all of our stops Fergus seemed to know the people who worked there personally so he was able to get us set up with mini tours and explanations of the food or services. You could tell everyone was excited when Fergus came in the door.
His car was very clean and well equipped with beverages, umbrellas, and ponchos which were so appreciated.
We had an amazing trip from start to finish. We saw incredible landscapes, ate delicious food, slept in wonderful hotels, and enjoyed as many Guinness' as we could, but the highlight of the whole week was Fergus. If we could take Fergus on every trip, we absolutely would!

I am interested in a private driver/tour guide for a 5 day trip with my family. We are 5 people, my husband and I with our three boys (ages 21,19,16) We will arrive in Dublin July 29 and would like to tour a loop like Kikenny, Killarney, Galway for 5 days. We will be dropped back in Dublin for the last two days to spend on our own, and fly out of Dublin on Aug 5.
We have booked B&Bs. What would the cost be per day for such a chauffeur?
