We had a wonderful, easy, breathtaking day with tour guide Collin. The small group was most definitely the way to go. Pack a good balaclava if going in cooler temps. Would 100% recommend.

We really enjoyed this trip. We got a private trip for two. It was so nice having the flexibility and to be on our schedule. Andy was our guide and simply put he was amazing. Always sharing stories and knowledge of the sites and the history of his amazing country. Bunratty castle and Cliffs o Moher were breathtaking.

Our driver and guide, Patrick, was very knowledgeable and informative. The Cliffs of Moher were beautiful and worth the long trip. Would have liked a little more time to spend at Dunratty Castle and the surrounding area.

The best tour I’ve ever been on! If you only have a limited time in the country but don’t want to feel like a tour bus of cattle and you actually want to enjoy the experience, this is the tour! Our driver Patrick was fantastic. He was knowledgable and safe and so enjoyable to listen to. Lots of history of the country and he took us on a beautiful tour of the countryside. He was patient and kind and made our trip to the cliffs of Moher and the tour of Bun Ratty castle very special for my sister and I unforgettable. We’ll definitely come back some day for another tour of your beautiful country. Thank you !!

We cannot say enough about how wonderful our tour was with this group! Our driver Eugene made the trip particularly memorable. He threw in several additional ideas based upon our interests which really made the trip even better. Our accommodations were all reasonable, comfortable, and well located. All of them had large breakfasts included. I would highly recommend this tour company for those traveling with families and small groups-they definitely had the personal touch!

We signed up for 2 one-day private tours with Elegant Irish Tours. The first tour was from Dublin to the Cliffs of Moher. The second tour was from Dublin to Giants Causeway. Both tours greatly exceeded our expectations. The places that we saw were amazing, but the 2 drivers we had (Mick & Richie) were so nice and friendly. They knew so much about the history of each of the areas we traveled through and we stopped along the way at interesting photo opportunities. They were so very flexible and gave us a so much as part of the tour than we would have gotten with the larger group tour. I highly recommend the private tour option if it fits your budget. The company is top-notch and communicated very well every step along the way during registration and prior to the actual tour(s) happening. Thank you Mick and Richie and Elegant Irish Tours for providing amazing tours and very friendly and interesting days for us!

I booked a small group tour from Dublin to Belfast and Giants Causeway. There were only 6 of us. James was our driver/guide, and everything was great. I'd love to spend more time at Giants Causeway, but it was a long day and a long drive. Also we all took 'black taxi' option in Belfast ('Titanic museum' was another option) and it was very interesting.

This tour was the highlight of my trip!! We had so much fun & learned so much about Ireland. The pacing of the tour was fantastic and we spent more than enough time at every location. Patrick did an amazing job, and made our trip to Ireland super special!!

We signed up for a small group tour and ended up on a huge bus with a promise of a refund of the difference. Apparently our small group driver didn't show up! Well it is August and we have yet to hear back from Elegant Irish Tours after three emails. Very disappointing!

There were many things wrong, but the most egregious is the driver stopped to pick up a hitchhiker! This was without the consent of 17 paying passengers and potentially put all of us at risk. Driver talked incessantly about his personal life history and the real estate prices in Dublin. He made offensive comments about migrants coming to Ireland. But he gave us little information about Glendalough before we visited, so we had no context for a very interesting place. On the way back to the ship he inexplicably put on religious music without asking the passengers. I found it offensive as did others I talked to.

We did private tours to Cliffs of Moher and Giants Causeway. There was good communication from the office staff in arranging the tours, and our guide was Mick for both tours. Mick was punctual, courteous, friendly, and a wealth of knowledge. I will use Elegant Irish Tours again and ask for Mick when we return to Ireland!

I recently took a private two day tour with Elegant Irish Tour company from Dublin to Killarney, the Ring of Kerry, and Dingle, and it exceeded all our expectations. Our group, which included a 10-year-old child, my husband and I in our 40s, and my parents in their 70s, had an amazing experience. Dan B., our driver and tour guide, was exceptional. His deep knowledge of Ireland and engaging storytelling captivated us all, regardless of age. Dan’s enthusiasm and passion for the country’s history and landscapes made the tour both educational and entertaining. His flexibility and attention to our needs were particularly impressive. He took the time to provide us with information and adjust the itinerary to ensure the tour was exactly what we wanted. His smooth and safe driving also allowed us to fully enjoy the stunning scenery without any worries. He absolutely made our trip! We wish he could have continued on with us for our entire vacation. The tour was perfectly tailored to accommodate our diverse group. The thoughtfully planned itinerary allowed us to explore each destination at a comfortable pace. From the vibrant charm of Killarney to the awe-inspiring Ring of Kerry and the picturesque Dingle, every stop was a highlight. I will admit, I was a bit skeptical since the booking communication is solely through email and not necessarily a “booking site”. However, the responses were prompt, professional and accommodating. Elegant Irish Tour company provided a wonderful experience for our multigenerational group, and Dan B. made it truly memorable. I highly recommend them for anyone looking to explore Ireland with ease and enjoyment.

Alex was a great guide and this tour had great attractions. The castle was brilliant and the cliffs were breathtaking. Top notch small group tour.

Did a private day trip from Dublin to Belfast. Lots of issues - Couldn't get a detailed itinerary before we left (just a list of key places that was in not in the order we did them). No time set aside all day for a meal (just snacks waiting for the next thing - I tried to pre-book a meal on my own and was told not too). No guide with us just a driver who delivered us to places. Vehicle was too small for our 7 people (not the vehicle in their pictures). No ability to customize the trip before leaving (I tried and they said no) but the driver kept offering new options during the drive that I hadn't done any research on to see if we'd like to do (Game of Thrones Studio, visit to Howth).
