Excursão privada de dia inteiro à Irlanda

We were so fortunate to have Eoin (pronounced Own, or Owen if you are from US). Always prompt and respectful and so knowledgeable of everything we saw. Eoin made wonderful, very polite, suggestions that enhanced our trip tremendously. One day highlighted his impact to our visit. We were to drive the Ring of Kerry; would have been 5+ hours in the car. Instead, without any pressure, Eoin suggested an alternate itinerary that involved a number of stops with beautiful walks through the forest to the Torc waterfall, a quick stop at Ross castle, shopping and lunch at the town of Kenmare and, ultimately, through Eion's connection, a spectacular carriage ride to the Gap of Dunlow. One of the best, if not the best, day of our 10 day visit. You will be lucky if Eion is your tour guide for any area of Ireland. Words cannot describe how thankful we are; thank you Eoin!!!!

We had the most lovely day tour of Connemara thanks to Eoin and Peadar of Galway Chauffeurs. For our first visit to Ireland, my husband and I had a lot we wanted to see in a short amount of time. While the major tour providers have options for the most popular and historical sites, we were looking for a more custom experience that would take us a bit deeper into the countryside, without having to rent and drive a car. As a knitter myself, a wishlist item was to connect with the rich history of Irish wool processing, and not just pet the pretty Aran sweaters in the city shops. Eoin helped us create a bespoke itinerary that hit all of our key interests for the day in the Connemara area, including a sheepdog demonstration at Killary Sheep Farm, visiting the Connemara Sheep & Wool Centre, and exploring the stunning Kylemore Abbey. Peadar picked us up from our hotel in Galway and we were immediately put at ease by his friendly composure. He had great suggestions about flexing the order of itinerary points for our day based on the timing windows for the sheepdog demonstration and the operating hours of our other stops, so we wouldn’t be rushing any part of our day. We were blessed with clear skies and the drive to Killary was gorgeously scenic - the whole way through, Peadar was great conversation and had fun facts to share about the views and area. Throughout our day, there were thoughtful moments that really made our experience so much more comfortable - at the farm, I had left my rain jacket in the car thinking the great weather would hold (ha!), and of course some sprinkles started to roll in. Without being prompted, Peadar was there with my coat. Later at Kylemore Abbey, he encouraged us to take our time exploring and he’d be there for us when we’re ready. This time the rain came on much heavier, and Peadar spotted us making our way back to where he had parked and quickly pulled up to meet us so we wouldn’t have to walk as far. Top notch service! We had such a special day making memories to last a lifetime - thank you Peadar and Eoin for making it happen!

We hired Galway Chauffeurs to take us from Dublin to Galway with customized stops along the way. It turned out to be the best day of our trip! Our driver, Sharon, was coincidentally from the town we wanted to investigate (our family came from that town). Sharon added so much to our adventure with local lore and history. At her suggestion, we also stopped at Sean's Bar (oldest pub in the world) for an Irish coffee. It was so lovely. Yes, you can travel from Dublin to Galway for less by bus or train, but you'd miss all the gorgeous things between the cities! Worth every penny and more.

We needed to get from Galway to Doolin for a wedding but wanted to see as much as possible. I had a plan in mind which Owen was happy to do, but he gave us the pros and cons and other suggestions. We went with his suggestions and are so glad we did. It was the best day of our trip. He customized the day to our needs. Communication was great and pricing was reasonable. Conversation in the car was just right. If we ever return to Ireland, we will use him again. We highly recommend this company.

Eoin (pronounced Owen) Cusack toured us around Galway for 2 days. We enjoyed good weather the first day, but the second day was a constant deluge of rain and wind. Nonetheless, we had a fabulous time. Eoin was flexible and took us where it made sense based on the weather, and we got see everything we wanted to, from the Cliffs of Moher, to castles and abbeys, to the gorgeous countryside. He had great recommendations for shopping and dinners, and he was great company with tons of Irish knowledge to share. Absolutely recommend touring with Eoin.

We had a fabulous time in Ireland. Our first day in Dublin was on our own, seeing the sights and drinking the Guinness. The next two days, we met up with Owen, our Galway Chauffeur, who, in our opinion, is the best. Owen is very friendly and easy to converse with. He had plenty of water to keep us hydrated and plenty of information about the sights he drove us to. Owen is kind and considerate. The first day, we were supposed to see the Cliffs of Moher, but since it was a very rainy day, he suggested we flip the days and visit the other sights. One of which was Kylemore Abbey, which was an incredibly beautiful building. Unfortunately, the rain got heavier, and we all got wet. It was Owen who suggested we make a 20-minute stop for us to change into dry clothing, so we did. He then dropped us off in Galway and suggested we visit McDonagh's (Quay St) for the best fish. The cod is delicious, and the chips were plentiful. We then ended up in Taaffe's pub, where we mingled and drank Guinness with the locals. Our next day with Owen was especially good due to the excellent weather. This was the day to see the Cliffs of Moher, but also to make stops along the way, taking in more sights. Due to the wet time of the year, Owen wanted us to see Aasleagh Falls, which flows into the Killary Fjord (Ireland's only fjord). We stopped in Connemara at a quaint cafe for a yummy bite to eat. Owen waited in the van, checking emails, while we ate. Once done, we continued our tour, making a few more stops before the cliffs. One at the Hazel Mountain Chocolate factory, where the chocolate was some of the best I've tasted. The next stop was to see Saint Brigid's Well, one of the most visited Holy Wells in Ireland. Owen didn't assume our religion; he asked before stopping, and we were all in. From here, we went to the Cliffs of Moher. The cliffs were amazingly beautiful and very, very windy. We left the cliffs for Owen to then drop us off for dinner, where he suggested, and we loved. The atmosphere in Gus O'Connor's Pub was happy and fun. Two groups of musicians played on opposite ends of the pub, and a small family near us had young boys playing Irish music on their flutes and penny whistles. It was delightful. The portions were large and delicious. Once done, we texted Owen, who then came to pick us up to head back to Galway. Owen traveled along the coast to see great scenery and a couple more castles. Sadly, Owen had to drop us off at the train station so we could head back to Dublin to conclude our trip. It was such a fun trip with Owen; we left him wanting to be his best friend. If you want a good time while seeing Ireland, call Owen! He's the Best tour guide in Ireland.

My wife and I did a 5 day tour with Eoin, from Ashford through Kenmare, Killarney, and Dingle, to Dublin. His knowledge of the country and its history was fantastic. He was super pleasant and funny, and made our trip complete. He knew the best places and sites to go in all of the towns we went to and made sure we hit the best spots. When I come back to Ireland I will make sure to only come when Eoin is available. Five star service on all levels.

Add this to your Ireland trip! Incredible experience all around. Eoin was wonderful to communicate with to set up the tour. Sharon was an absolute delight, taking my family all around the island. Friendly, fun and professional. Highly recommend.

Our family spent a fantastic day with Sharon touring the Castlebar region. We were on an ancestry hunt and Sharon went above and beyond helping us find links to our past. She was an absolute delight - funny, charming and very knowledgeable about all things Ireland. We learned things from her that we’d never have gotten on a standard tour. Both Sharon and the company come with our highest recommendation. Thank you for a perfect day!

My family and I booked two days of private touring with Galway Chauffeurs and we were quickly contacted by Eoin who offered us an itinerary that fit our needs for the two days. From the beginning of our conversation, we knew we would be in GREAT hands! From start to finish, everything was easy, professional, and truly perfect. Our driver for the two days was Sharon, who is extremely knowledgeable about everything that the tour involved! She is so friendly, social, and funny and made our two days *outstanding*!! Our itinerary involved the blarney castle/stone on one day, and the cliffs of Moher on the second day (with so many amazing cool stops along the way…stops that we would have never been able to plan or even know about ourselves)! We will absolutely use this company again ! Eoin and Sharon are the best !!! Thank you guys so much for making our time in Ireland so special ! ♥️
