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.

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.

I truly cannot say enough, good things about Fergus, Lally, and Celtic chauffeur services! Fergus was truly fantastic. After he had dropped us off at the hotel, everyone in my party knew about our fantastic driver, Fergus. He picked us up in Galway and recommended us to local spots that I would never have known about, sharing his extensive knowledge about the area. His friendly and easygoing nature made our time together enjoyable and relaxed. I was so impressed that I recommended him to my parents, who ended up booking him for wonderful experience on a half-day tour. Fergus truly goes above and beyond to ensure you have a memorable visit to Ireland. Highly recommend him for anyone looking for a personalized touch and such a friendly and good natured person to guide you along your way of Ireland!

Mr Peter Rafferty "Raf"was amazing. I think he knows everyone in western Ireland. We were constantly entertained and enlightened about the culture and history of the areas we visited. We made some alterations to our itinerary due to his guidance and never regretted it. We laughed a lot. He can take a joke as well as deliver one. We would highly recommend Raf to anyone looking to have a great time while touring Ireland. When we come back we will reconnect with Raf.

Our son booked a day with Celtic Chauffeur Services for a trip down the Wild Atlantic Way out of Galway. Our guide, Ann Marie, so exceeded our expectations it's hard to describe.

She explained the landscape, the history, interesting facts about the culture, the people, and the language so fully that we felt part of the surroundings. Everything came alive, and her stops along the way (chocolatiers, cheese mongers, border collie demonstration) only served to enhance an already exceptional experience.

And watching her navigate the country roads so skillfully was an additional treat!

Thank you, Ann Marie, and thank you Celtic Chauffeur Services!

We cannot recommend Celtic Limo enough!

Barry took my siblings and me on a day trip to the Cliffs of Moher. He stopped at other attractions and coffee shops along the way, and was incredibly knowledgeable about everything we saw. Once we got to the cliffs, he provided us with umbrellas and extra jackets for warmth. He was incredibly charming and really elevated the entire experience. He then finished the trip by bringing us through Galway City and Salthill recommending his favorite pubs and restaurants. When we got to our hotel, about 5 of the staff came out to greet Barry, which shows how well liked he is in Galway!

We also used Celtic Limo for our very early drive from Galway to Dublin on New Years Day. Fergus was our driver and was incredibly kind and engaging. The car was very comfortable (with head PILLOWS and heated seats!), and fully stocked with water. We really enjoyed our ride with Fergus - even though it was early, we preferred to stay awake and chat with him instead of sleeping! He was also incredibly knowledgeable and we loved learning more about Irish culture and history on our drive.

Overall, both experiences were above and beyond our expectations and better than any other private driving service we've ever had. We would give these guys 100 stars if we could. Well done, absolutely brilliant!

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!

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!

We had the most amazing two days with Tom as our guide and driver. Tom is so friendly and knowledgeable! He greeted us with a smile and was energetic right off the bat. He was able to provide so much color about all of the places we visited; it was like he was weaving us a story with each place we visited. We loved that he not only took us to the places on our itinerary but also pointed out smaller attractions that we certainly would have missed on our own. In addition, he was thoughtful about suggesting places to stop and stretch, use the restroom, shop for souvenirs, or simply get a fantastic view.

Tom was also wonderful with our six-year-old son. He was engaging, kind, and patient with him. Our trip to Ireland was so memorable and special and Tom contributed to that!

My wife surprised me with a quick trip to Dublin and then Galway. Ann Marie picked us up in Dublin for the ride to Galway and gave wondering and interesting commentary on all things Ireland. Truly felt like we were traveling with a family member. She also took us to Connemara National Park and gave my wife enough assurance that she would safely reach the top of Diamond Hill on our hike! Unfortunately we had to cut our trip short and I had to get back to Dublin for an early morning flight and Fergus picked me up at 4AM in Galway and got me back to Dublin in plenty of time for my flight. A wonderful experience overall and we would highly recommend.

Fergus deserves more than 5 stars. I rarely post reviews but Fergus' exceptional service deserves mention. Spotless car. Expert driving inspired confidence on the narrow rural roads. Extreme attentiveness to our needs (limited ability to walk too far). We went on a day trip to various sites -Aughnanure Castle, village of Cong. Fergus had tremendous knowledge of Galway area generally, the sites throughout the region, places to eat, even the tour guides at the Castle, etc. He was, in effect, a tour guide himself, not merely a driver. Well worth the price.
