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.

I booked Galway Shuttle late at night (in the US) and last minute, as my daughter was already on her flight over the pond. We had made other plans, but things took a dramatic turn when she accidently broke her ankle a few nights before her big trip. But that I night, I realized that she was going to need a ton of help to get from Shannon Airport to where she was going in Galway. I went to the airport's website, stumbled upon Galway Shuttle and booked them immediately without even checking reviews. (Something I never do!) I texted her that I hired a car, but she didn't get the message as her phone was on airplane mode. Not much later and about an hour before she was to land, I called Galway Shuttle to make sure they knew that she was on crutches with a broken ankle. I couldn't sleep, I was worried sick. I was kicking myself as I hung up and realized that I forgot to tell him that she was unaware that I hired them! All of my fears were relieved, however, when my daughter texted that she was safe at her apartment. The driver went and FOUND her at the airport, helped her with her heavy luggage and took her safely to Galway. Not knowing that I had already paid by credit card from the States, she paid him there. I was disappointed to hear that, but I figured it was my fault for doing this last minute. About 45 minutes later, he realized his mistake, went back to her apartment and RETURNED her money to her!! I am blown away. I am SO grateful to Galway Shuttle for not only seeking out my daughter at the airport and getting her to her apartment safely, but for also their honesty and integrity. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this car/shuttle service after this experience.

We needed transportation to Bunratty and Galway Shuttle had a good price. They were prompt picking us up and we made to Bunratty in good time. Driver was not overly friendly. and the vehicle was a bit beat up inside. But I guess all we hired him to do was drive us there and that he did.

My friend and I used Galway shuttle to take us to Galway from Shannon Airport. We also used the company to take us from Galway to Limerick so that we could spend our last night there before flying out of Shannon to Boston. Both drivers were courteous and friendly. They shared information about the areas we were traveling through to give us "the lay of the land." As well as things to do in the area. Fantastic service!

Booked online and got an immediate confirmation. The mini bus arrived a little earlier than expected and got us to Shannon Airport in good time and with no fuss. The driver was friendly and polite. We would definitely recommend them.

Quite simply, Galway Shuttle delivered as promised! The website makes it easy to book the shuttle. The price for round trip saved us over 80 euro over taxis. The driver was waiting at Shannon with the sign, and whisked our guests to Galway in an hour and 15 minutes. The return was also easy - Galway Shuttle confirmed the return, and pickup was on time and delivery efficient. Who could ask for anything more?

Email communication was prompt and it was easy to schedule transportation. Our trip was seemless. Marcin was waiting for us with a sign at Shannon Airport. He led us quickly to a van and before we knew it we were on our way. Marcin was quiet but answered every question we asked. This was transportation and not a “tour”. He was punctual, polite, professional, safe, and efficient. He knew exactly what we booked no questions asked. We stopped at Cliffs of Moher, we paid our entrance fee at the parking entry, and Marcin patiently waited in the van. We did not take the full 2 hours allotted because it was chilly, the trail was muddy, and we were tired. We continued to Galway. As we drove by the Burren he offered a photo stop (possibly b/c we didn’t take the 2 hours at the Cliffs) which we declined. He dropped us off directly in front of Eyre Square Hotel, he unloaded our bags, and we paid the agreed upon cash fee. Effortless. Therefore if your time is limited and you do not want to exhaust an entire day to see the Geat Cliffs this was an efficient way to do it! Like other reviewers stated, the van was not new. However, it was clean and we were perfectly comfortable. Thank you Marcin and Galway Shuttle for making our first day in Ireland go so smoothly!

We were a pretty big group, 12 total, arriving in Shannon Airport, very early in the morning. The driver, Marcin, was patiently waiting for us the moment we arrived. He was courteous, helpful and very kind. Our ride was so seamless; we decided to book the van for two more journeys: Cliffs of Moher and Kylemore Abbey. Marcin continued to go out of his way to make our trips enjoyable. He made stops as frequently as we wanted and offered great suggestions about places to see and eat. It was an amazing experience for our family and a very worthwhile expense. I highly recommend Galway Shuttles. It was 10 out of 10 experience! And, I'd like to offer a special thank you to our driver, Marcin! All travel experiences should be this seamless.

The shuttle bus has a stop outside the Maldron Hotel sandy road and arrives every half hour to Eyre Square.

Used on two occasions, one with college students traveling abroad and the other for an adult needing transportation to the airport. They were great in both cases !!

I will be in the Galway area from about 13:00 on Tuesday, March 15 - 15:00 on Friday, March 18th. I will not have a car. I will be flying into Shannon from London and returning to London on the 18th. I would like to take the Cliffs of Moher tour and the Ring of Kerry with Killarney National Park but don't know if I can do back to back tours since once is out of Galway and the other is out of Killarney. Is there transportation in the evening to go back and forth?
I'm traveling by myself and would like to stay in a hostel or B&B. Any recommendations?
Thanks, Barb from Minnesota
