The trip was great! The driver (who's also guide) is very friendly, told us stories about surroundings and let us sleep :) When me and my boyfriend came there were no sits for a couple, so driver orginized single travelers to sit together and gave us double sit. Bus was comfortable, we stopped for several times for coffe and loo. Spend about 1 hour 30 on the cliffs (i prefer it might have been longer), then 1 hour on lunch in Doolin. Our way back was with hour and a half stop in Galway (enough to walk in city centre) and on the way to Galway we stopped on the bautifull cliffs (mb it was mini cliffs of Mocher im not sure) to make some pics. Our driver by the way was good photographer btw, i won't be surpriced he photographs on his free time. Back to Dublin we felt tired, but it's fine price for these bautiful views. Totally recommend the tour if you have only one day for such trip and have no opportunity to spend nights in Doolin to visit cliffs as long and you want.

We took the Wicklow mountain tour last week with Noel. Noel was engaged and informative and provided an amazing tour of Wicklow. The highlight of the tour for my three young children was a stop at a local mountain farm. My nine year-old got to hold a 2 day-old lamb and we all got to see a lamb being born. The farm visit also provided insight into cattle farming and included a sheep dog demonstration. The mountain views are gorgeous and our hike through Glendolough was stunning (even despite the windy, rainy weather). We would highly recommend this tour in order to gain appreciation of this beautiful part of Ireland, just a short bus ride away from Dublin. This was also a very family friendly trip.

In November this year I did several day tours with several different companies from Dublin. I did a day tour to Rock of Cashel, Blarney Castle with Irish Day Tours and was so impressed by the knowledge of Irish History that Rob our tour guide had and with his personality that I talked to him about a personal tour when I came back. I wanted to see the Ring of Kerry an Dingle Peninsula on a more personal level than a day tour. I wanted Rob to be my tours guide so I contacted him and he worked with me on a agenda and off we went. The views and landscapes were so amazing. Rob took me down backroads and we saw historic sites that most peope never get to see. Irish Day Tours put me in the nicest accomadations. Everything was perfect. I would highly recommed the money for a personal tour of these areas and when I come again to eplore another area I will request Rob as my guide. As he told me many time "It's not the destination..........it's the journey! Thanks Rob for one of the best experiences of my life.............

My husband and I booked the Wicklow & Glendalough Tour for 6 June. The departure time was supposed to be 8:30 am, but by 9 am, no one from Irish Day Tours had showed. I called their office, but no one answered the phone. Their office was a short walk from the meeting point, so my husband and I walked there to find out if the tour was still on. It turns out the guide had tested positive for Covid that morning, so there was no guide. They were still deciding whether or not to try and find a new guide or cancel the trip. One of their office workers, Susie, volunteered to act as the guide, even though she had never given the tour. They were trying to contact their boss for instructions, so we went back to the pick up point and told the others waiting for the tour what was going on. We heard nothing after waiting another 30 minutes, so started walking back to the office to ask for a refund when one of their employees met us and said Susie would give the tour. Meanwhile, the bus driver (Daniel) got tired of waiting and left with the bus. So we had to wait until just after 10 am until they were able to get the bus to come back and start the tour.

The tour itself was okay. Unfortunately, Susie really didn’t know much about the places we we were visiting and the driver took a few wrong turns. The first stop was the working sheep farm where we got an amazing sheepdog demonstration; highlight of the trip. The farmer, Michael, was surprised to see us, as we were so late. Next stop was Hollywood, where we were supposed to get a walk through the valley with the guide. Instead, we got dropped off at the cafe for a short coffee break. Then we were supposed to stop in Laragh Village, but we skipped that., then stopped for about 10 minutes at a scenic point in the Wicklow Mountains. The last stop was at Glendalough, where we got 2 hours to explore the ruins and walk the trails. We arrived back in Dublin before 6 pm, after leaving for the tour almost 1 1/2 hours late, so we definitely didn’t get the full tour time.

To top it off, I left a bag with a shirt I had purchased for my grandson in the overhead bin of the bus, which I discovered about 5 minutes after we got off. We ran back to the bus, but it had already left. We immediately went to the tour office to report this and spoke to Martin, but were told the driver would not be back in Dublin until June 8. They said they would try and contact Daniel the driver and I could check back on the 8th. I got a call this morning (8 June), that they could not locate my bag. I don’t believe anyone on our tour took it and it didn’t disappear, so I at least hope a bus or Irish Day Tours employee is enjoying my grandson’s shirt.

Due to the disorganization of this trip, the employee’s complete failure to inform the passengers as to the trip delay, and their indifference to helping me get back the item I left on the bus, I do not recommend Irish Day Tours. Many other companies offer this tour; I suggest you choose one of them.

Such a lovely tour with a "best of" vibe. Will definitely make plans to travel with them again. Our guide Mac was great! He went the extra mile to make a tour inside a tour with optional walking tours and pointing out sights along the way.

This a review for the tour services, not the sightseeings.

We begun our tour at 6:30. There was an one-hour stop at Carrick-a-Reed. We then headed north to the Giant's Causeaway, where we stayed for a good one and a half hour and then we went to Belfast, where we had almost two hours to explore the city center.

Although I could stay for a whole day in each of these destinations, I can understand that the time is valuable. We spent many hours in the bus but that wasn't boring at all. Our driver mr Jim McArdle was not only a very good and smooth driver but an awesome narrator as well. He would give information about all the things we passed with some interesting details. When there wasn't anything particular on our way, mr Jim would tell us stories and I swear I could listen to him the whole day.

The bus was comfortable and clean. The stops we made were enough for us to stretch our legs and maybe grab a coffee or use the loo.

All in all a great experience. Thank you mr Jim for the tour. Many people can be tour guides. Not so many can narrate a good story like you. Cheers!

For the third consecutive time, in our third year of vacation in Dublin, we confirmed this choice!
The tours are organized in every detail, punctual and professional guides / drivers. Excellent organization! From departure from Dublin city center (easily reachable on foot) to lunch, to the places of interest to visit upon return. All marked by perfect times! A day dedicated to true Ireland!
Lots of choices and destinations! Highly recommended for anyone, friends, family, couples! Guaranteed fun!

We booked the Wicklow Tour very spontaniously the day before and were not sure what to expect. Our Tourguide Noel was very on time and super welcoming and nice. During the drive he told us so many interesting things and we really enjoyed ourselves. The stops he made were extraordinary beautiful and he always had a great story to tell. This was such a magical experience, we think mostly because of Noel :) Thank you for this wonderful tour!

We booked three day tours on three different days and the experience was amazing on all three days! The bus drivers were knowledgeable and very entertaining. The bus was comfortable. The stops were beautiful and definitely worth the money. Highly recommend!

The Only thing I wish for, that driver and tour guide wouldn't be the same person. Jonathan (I hope I remember the guys name correctly, since the trip was more than two month ago) had so much to tell, but I could feel that driving was taking his attention away. Other than that, we had a grate first day of the year out.
