★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 112 reviews · 4 days (approx.) · from $603Our pick

Travel by air-conditioned coach from Dublin with a guide such as Danny, Vincent, or Gordon, stopping at Glengowla Mines, Galway, the Cliffs of Moher, Dingle Peninsula, Killarney, and Blarney Castle. Three nights of lodging, two breakfasts, WiFi, and USB ports are included.

“Our Dublin local bus driver and guide Danny was so knowledgeable and lovely. Great advice and very kind. Five stars ***** for Danny!!! Dingle Peninsula and the Slea Head Drive on a spectacular day was better to me than any of the hyped attractions like the Cliffs of Moher and Blarney Castle. The stop at Glen’s farm in Connemara to watch the sheepdog demonstration and the mine tour were such a pleasant surprise. We won’t forget Pip!! Confusion at the first B&B stop and errors with the tour company instructions meant a four star **** for the company.”

“The 4 days tour is quite complete; however some guides are much better than others : Quigg 5* Alex 5* others give too little explanations and are just ´organisers’; some trips have a very early start for holidays and could start later with return later…..the day in Dublin itself would require an ‘organiser’ and not only diy.”

“Rocky start: so we had arrived at the meeting point, electronic ticket on my phone (and receipt) .... And the tour company didn't have our name at all... And didn't have accommodation organised for us at all. So they sent us off with day passes seeing as I had the receipt and tried to organise accomodation for us while we were on the way. Bad news was : all b&b accommodation was sold out, so we had the choice to cut to the 1 day tour, or pay extra for the 4 star accommodation. I didn't have any other accommodation set up to go back to Dublin at the end…”
