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.

Based on a friend’s recommendation we got in touch with Ireland Chauffeur Travel for a personalized tour on the last five days of our ten day trip to the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. We did the east coast from Dublin on our own, but didn’t want to miss out on the spectacular scenery in the west. We worked with Alison Lonergan who gave us a very complete itinerary adding to our plans some additional sites worth seeing that really enhanced our trip. Initially we requested four days, but after seeing how “crowded” our itinerary was going to be, we added the fifth day. Alison and her team quickly modified things to give us additional ideas. They were rapid in their response and extremely professional, even when we had to change our pick up location to Kerry at the last minute. Our driver/guide was a really great guy who added so much to the personal nature of our travels. He gave us great commentary, made some recommendations on additional stops, and always pointed us to great places to eat. The fee was not unreasonable at all, especially when you consider the personalized nature of our tour and the fact that we had our driver/guide for eight hours every day. We can’t say enough about this company!

We had a great 5 person, 10 day trip with Ireland Chauffeur Travel, starting and ending in Dublin, plus Kinsale, Dingle, and Galway. This trip was delayed twice because of Covid, but the communication and trip planning was consistently professional. Our driver, Bob, was excellent. He was very knowledgeable about history, culture, pubs and restaurants, and even geology. It was apparent he emphasized safety, as well as convenience. He also presented us with options for places to visit if we decided we wanted to deviate from the planned itinerary.
One place which may not be well-known by U.S. visitors was the national Famine Museum in Strokestown. We found it to be very worthwhile.
I highly recommend Ireland Chauffeur Travel.

This company has been great to work with. I’ve used them twice to plan our trios to Ireland. Each time I told them where we wanted to go and they set up the itinerary for us. The drivers were both excellent. Very friendly and knowledgeable. This is the way to visit Ireland!

We traveled with Ireland Chauffeur Travel September 10-17, 2022. I had taken prior trips to Ireland with a private driver and a CIE bus tour. Both were terrific and I had a good idea of places that I wanted my husband and friends to see. I chose Ireland Chauffeur Travel because they seemed to be very flexible about rescheduling a future trip if we were unable to go this year due to Covid or other reasons. They use comfortable Mercedes SUV’s for touring.
I gave a list of places I wanted to visit, experiences I wanted to have, and dates of travel to my contact, Michelle Lee. She developed an itinerary and suggested additional activities to include in our trip. Michelle was terrific to work with, responded promptly and kindly to my emails as we developed our tour. The hotels we stayed at were all 4 star and were centrally located for walking to restaurants and attractions in the evening.
John Healy, our Driver/Guide, was a perfect match and related well to each of us. He was very professional, always prompt on our 10-6 daily tour, well traveled internationally, had good historical knowledge of all the places we visited and took us to many places that weren’t on our itinerary that we enjoyed immensely. He suggested pubs and restaurants that previous clients enjoyed and made reservations for us. We had time to walk around several small towns and do some shopping. We saw and experienced an amazing number of places in our 8 days of touring. Our friends and my husband sing praises for John and all the wonderful experiences we had on our tour.
5 stars for Ireland Chauffeur Travel, John Healy and Michelle Lee!

My family of four had a wonderful week in Ireland with our driver Frances. We had a round-trip tour starting and ending in Dublin, heading to the west coast and back. It made it so special to have a tour guide that could recommend the best places to visit and eat with two children (6&11). So much less stressful and enjoyable than renting a car and self-guiding, worth every penny!

Alison did a fabulous job helping us plan a 12 day visit in Ireland. We went with 7 other couples so the planning was fairly complex in terms of scheduling events and dinners. Her recommendations were all very good concerning places to visit, hotel accommodations and restaurants. I would be remiss if I didn't comment on our tour guide Bob who made the trip so memorable. Funny, very knowledgeable and thoughtful about how he supported us in our travel adventure. Highly recommend Ireland Chauffeur Travel!!!

Just returned from our second private , guided tour that we have booked with this company. First time was about 5 years ago when we flew in and out of Shannon and toured the West and Dublin.
We booked again with them as we very much liked their work and service the first time. This most recent time we flew in/out of Dublin from the USA. We did Dublin for first three days and took attend Northwestern v. Nebraska at Aviva(Landsdowne.) Cats won!
We did the north for 5 days after 3 days in Dublin. Our driver/guide Mr. Bobby Walsh was excellent! He is skilled experienced driver and friendly, amiable and very knowledgeable of history. Had excellent tours on way to Belfast from Dublin in spacious , comfortable and clean Mercedes van. All passengers, ( me, my wife and two adult children had all needs met regarding travel, sites, dining. Mr. Walsh gave a great tour of Belfast to include Falls Road and Shankill Road (‘political tour.’). Did Giants Causeway, Bushmills Distillery, Derry/Londonderry with extra tour by Dermot McCluskey. Stayed in Donegal Town. Slieve League , Marble Arch caves. Saw all the counties of Ulster ( both in Northern Ireland and the Republic )with much detail. Ate local always with spot on recs from Bobby.
Always ask for Bobby Walsh if you tour Ulster. He literally and figuratively goes the extra mile!

Perfect trip! This was my second time to use Ireland Chauffeur Travel. The first was with our two children in 2014. This trip we joined 4 other friends. We opted for a 10 day trip and let Ireland Chauffer Travel (IRC) plan all the details. The itinerary they proposed was perfect: Dublin to Belfast and then down the western coast. We had opted to treat ourselves to the nicest hotels and each property was amazing. Our schedule was full and we were tired at the end of each day, but our driver guide was more than willing to edit the schedule at our request when we needed some down time. Driver/guide Bob was excellent. His attention to detail, informative narrative and regard for our safety was "five star": He was prompt, courteous, well-informed and he was full of tips which helped us enjoy our trip. The travel planners took care of every detail. All agreed that the trip far surpassed expectations. I don't know if IRC could take credit for the weather, but we found the pot of GOLDen weather. Has anyone else ever gotten a tan in Ireland?

We've never traveled by private tour, but I'm so glad we did and that we chose Ireland Chauffeur Travel. We spent 10 days in Ireland in late July/early August, 7 of which were on tour with Bob, and we are still filled with gratitude for the wonderful memories he helped us create. On the front end, we worked with Alison to create a basic itinerary that would accommodate our family of 6 ranging in age from 18-75. She made sure that we had fantastic lodging, convenient airport shuttles, wheelchairs, and a route that allowed us to visit family. Traveling by van was comfortable and allowed the 6 of us to be in one vehicle and see the sights together as a family rather than being in separate cars and worrying about navigating unfamiliar roads. The real star of the show was our tour guide, Bob, who constantly strove to make sure we had the best experience possible. Before the trip, I had never considered how important the guide's personality and experience might be. Within 5 minutes of meeting Bob and seeing how he dealt with all of our special needs, I realized how critical they are and how lucky we were to have someone so patient, caring and knowledgeable. Bob made sure everyone on the trip was happy and would work to fine-tune the details of each day to our needs. He made great reservations for us and worked behind the scenes to smooth out any wrinkle no matter how small it seemed. He went above and beyond by talking to our relatives and making sure the schedule worked for an extended visit. I could go on and on about Bob, but in the end, we felt we had traveled through Ireland with a friend and will always cherish these memories of our trip of a lifetime.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review and taking the time to write it. We are so happy that you had such a great time and created some brilliant memories. Bob will be so pleased that he added so greatly to your trip and that you enjoyed his company so much. We always believe that although the big sites and seeing them are so important, it really is the smaller details that make a trip so special and memorable so are so glad that you felt the trip ticked all the boxes for you.

This was absolutely the perfect way to see Ireland and Northern Ireland. Before the trip Alison made the planning easy and handled all of our reservations. She was very accomodating. Upon our arrival in Dublin, we were met at the airport by our tour guide Tomas. There was plenty of room for our group of ten plus all of our luggage in the minibus. We were fortunate to have Tomas as our tour guide for eleven days. He was great!! Our group of eleven included 19 through 30 year olds and four in our 50's. Tomas figured out quickly that our group was active and loved to be off the beaten path. He also knew that we wanted to see as much as possible, and he made that happen. We made it around the entire country. Tomas exceeded our expectations and we were sad when we had to say good bye.

Hi Jackie, Apologies for the delay in seeing this message. We can offer this service depending on availability due to our usual commitment to longer tours. If you are still seeking this service, please let me know your dates and we can investigate.
What would it cost to hire a driver to take 3 or 4 people around the country for 17 days. Itinerary and hotels already booked but now thinking it would be better to hire a driver vs. Renting a car.

Hi Charles, all quotes are based on individual itinerary requirements. A general rule of thumb would be approx 700 per day for driver guide, luxury Mercedes-Benz’s and all related expenses for vehicle and guide including overnights. Hope this helps.

Hi there! I am very interested in hiring a chauffeur for part of our dream trip to Ireland. Our plan is to spend either 2 or 3 days in Dublin and the head south/sw. Our family enjoys the sights but would also like to do things outside of the vehicle such as spend a day in bikes exploring, maybe fishing and of course shopping. Here is my question: what is the chauffeur doing while we are off doing these things? Am I still paying for services even though o may only use them for a 2 hour drive that day? I'm so unclear on how this all works. It was our intent to hire a chauffeur for 6 days however I truly think that so much of that time would be "down time" for the driver. Can anyone speak to this or advise?
ICT_Management
Cashel, Ireland59 contributions
Hi Lori,
Thank you for your question. The way the pricing works is that the chauffeur service is booked for a period of time that is the requirements for your group. You will have the disposal of the chauffeur for the full touring day/s if it is booke dby the day or period of days. If you prefer to not have a chauffeur for the duration you have request a quote for touring on the days that you require touring, transfers on the days when no touring is required and if you require "down days", these will not be factored in the pricing. Hope this helps. Shane
