Very well planned but with enough flexibility to keep a large group happy
“Very well planned but with enough flexibility to keep a large group happy. Saw highlights and still had time to explore the towns we were in. Great recommendations of where to go for dinner or a pint. Breakfasts at all accommodations made mornings so much easier. Highly recommend” Lynne Ryan June 2024

…could not have been more helpful and responsive!
“Alison could not have been more helpful and responsive. I greatly appreciate her willingness to accommodate our need for a driver just for one day. She also went “above and beyond” to allow us to be able to see Trinity Island, Co Cavan. Tom McHale, our driver was great. He provided lots of good advice and directions. He was timely and courteous.” Eileen Dohmann June 2024

Thank you for an excellent intro to Ireland!
“For such a short time, we packed a lot in and loved it. I especially loved the sheep herding dog show! So good and such a cool place too. Loved all the sites we saw and the pubs, restaurants and hotels. Felt very safe with Tom at the wheel and was entertained and informed as well! Thank you for an excellent intro to Ireland!” Catherine Schnarr – May 2024

Ireland Chauffeur was fantastic! – June 2024
Wonderful company/Driver ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ireland Chauffer was fantastic! Sam was amazing in helping with working out an itinerary that best fit our needs! No matter how many questions or adjustments we made he was courteous and patient! Siobhan was our driver! She was prompt, personable and had great suggestions for places to stop to just get out and move around or get a coffee or lunch whatever we needed! She had great suggestions for photo ops too! What a wonderful drive! It was so nice to not to have to worry about directions and driving on the left side of the road! The countryside is breathtaking and we loved our time with her! She was personably and had such great suggestions and places to see! If you’re going to invest in a trip like this, I suggest you get a driver! It’s less stressful and you are able to enjoy the ride!

The Best Way to see Ireland ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – June 2024
The experience my family and I had with Ireland Chauffeur Travel (“IRT”) was terrific from start to finish. When I initially reached out to IRT I spoke with Sam and he was very clear, kind and patient and offered some good information that helped me to decide a more precise itinerary for the trip. I sought quotes from several companies and IRT’s rates were competitive. We hired a driver for the trip from the airport to our hotel in Dublin and he was professional, courteous and a good, safe driver. After a couple of days in Dublin we were picked up by our main driver, Podge, for the rest of our travels to the west coast. He reached out to me the evening before pickup to discuss what we were looking for in our travels and to confirm our schedule. By the end of our trip Podge felt like family! He communicated well and he shared so much of Ireland’s history, culture and beauty with us, along with some great personal stories. We had a 6 year old child with us and Podge treated her royally and did his best to make sure her experience was fun and enjoyable. He gave all of us (a group of 8) the most amazing experiences! We could never have navigated the road on our own without issues and are extremely grateful for Podge’s expertise. He delivered us to our “must see” locations and got us to other beautiful places we would otherwise not have visited had we driven ourselves. When we shared one specific location we were looking to see and one restaurant where we thought we would eat, he made alternate suggestions that proved to be amazing! At all times we felt safe in our 9-seater Mercedes Sprinter. It was very clean and comfortable and there was plenty of cold water in the refrigerator for us. We will absolutely return to Ireland one day and will not hesitate to hire this company again and will be sure to request Podge as our driver!

Family Trip of a Lifetime ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐- June 2024
We had a large group of 13 aged from 9 months to 81 years. Alison was amazing with helping us plan our trip. Everything was seamless. No matter how many questions we asked (and changes we had made), she was very accommodating. Our tour guide Bob Noonan was incredible. Given this group, a lot of flexibility was required and Bob was the perfect host. He went above and beyond to make sure we were all comfortable and enjoying our trip. Bob was very helpful with suggestions of where to eat, shop or visit. He helped us find evening activities that were suitable for all. Bob shared his knowledge of Ireland’s culture and history. Mr. Noonan made our trip all that it could be! Overall it was the perfect family holiday with a great guide scheduled by top-notch travel company. We will be back.

…deserves the highest rating and strongest recommendations – May 2024
Don’t frequently write reviews, but the outstanding service provided by Ireland Chauffeur Travel’s Alma Creed and the driver/tour guide Thomas McQuinn deserves the highest rating and strongest recommendations. Our family trip included multiple generations with different interests, even arriving and leaving at different times. Alma Creed was very responsive and put together a great tour that had something for everyone on our trip and included bike trips through the Burren and the Waterford bike path, great hotels in Dublin, Kilkenny, Killarney, Cork, Ennis and Galway, all with breakfasts for the six of us included The Great Southern in Killarney town center was a standout. Even the final night in the Portmarnock Resort before departing Dublin airport was perfect–delightful beach, beautiful walks, relaxing and easy access to the airport. The best part about the arrangements made for us was our driver, Thomas McQuinn. Spending eight days with a stranger was a bit daunting initially, but Thomas was delightful and quickly became a family favorite. He was very knowledgeable about every area we visited, shared stories and history along the way and added enormously to the trip experience. He was flexible and every recommendation he made regarding sights, pubs, dining and entertainment turned out to be great. Thomas seemed to know someone in every town and made sure we were not visiting sites at the same time tour ships were unloading and busing in visitors. He arranged for us to have front and center seats for a fantastic Irish trio in a crowded pub in Kilkenny at Kyteler’s Inn. Every where we went, Thomas seemed to have a contact who looked after us and added to our experience. We frequently adjusted our original travel plans as we discussed options with Thomas or found that we wanted to spend more time at certain places. We cannot rate Thomas as high as he deserves and we wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone visiting Ireland. Reviewed by O5787XTtheresab 30 May 2024

Impeccable Service!! – May 2024
From the beginning to the end our trip to Ireland was amazing!! Sarah was very helpful and planned a perfect trip. Donal McGrath was our tour guide. Donal was the perfect guide for my husband and I. He was so patient and a perfect gentleman. He made sure we were always comfortable and did not lack anything. He took us to so many beautiful sites, shared history and told us stories along the way. He was also a great photographer! Every detail was well planned by this company. Every day built up to a better day than the last. The hotels were perfectly matched to what we requested (4/5 stars). We fell in love with Ireland and hope to return really soon. Thank you Sarah and Donal for providing impeccable service!!

Great Tour of Ireland …Personable, knowledgeable, flexible – May 2024
Great tour of Ireland – 5 stars Martin was excellent. Personable, knowledgeable, flexible. Fun narration while leaving Dublin, showing various neighborhoods and pointing out where Bono, Enya live. Took the initiative to show us Dingle Peninsula — the Wild Atlantic was spectacular. Also guided us through Kenmare, fun to experience that town in depth. Lots of lovely scenery for sure — lakes, verdant vistas, baby lambs. – Richard, May 2024

…let them plan a tour that will knock your socks off! – April 2024
Seeing the West of Ireland with the best – Sarah’s tour arranging and Martin’s driving made our 8 days in Ireland an outstanding experience. We saw five times as much in far less time than it would have taken us had we been doing this on our own. Martin was such a great guide; he was constantly picking out the thing really worth seeing as opposed to the thing the tourists flock to see, and determining the way to go to get where we wanted to go that would be the most beautiful and interesting. We really appreciated the way in which he figured out our general interests and then made suggestions that allowed us to satisfy them—in a very relaxed way! After a few days into the trip we had a new friend. Give Ireland Chauffeur Travel an idea of what you’re interested in and let them plan a tour that will knock your socks off! – Tom, April 2024
