Great Experience
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Being a North American driver this was the best way for me to see as much of Western Ireland in as short of time possible safely.

West Coast Explorer 3 Day Ireland Tour with Rabbies with Tour Guide Dan
This was our first tour with Rabbies and we had an excellent experience with the tour. Our tour guide, Dan was exceptional. Dan was not only kind, good humored and accommodating, but has an incredible wealth of knowledge. His thoroughness of the Irish Gaelic language and history helped bring Ireland’s beauty, people and history to life. He is a great professional but very, very pleasant as well. He ensured that his customers were well taken care and comfortable. He explained every site with great depth of knowledge and patience. My husband and I consider ourselves lucky to have Dan as our tour guide. It was not only our experience but the other members of the tour conveyed the same sentiments as well. I would definitely consider Rabbies for our future tours and would surely refer friends and family to Rabbies for their travel needs especially Dan as their tour guide in Ireland. We have booked two additional tours with Rabbies on our travel to Scotland. Thank you very much, Dan and Rabbies for making our trip to Ireland an enjoyable one.

Wonderful 3 day tour. I recommend it !
My family, including 2 teens, really enjoyed this 3 day tour. It was a great experience to leave Dublin and to see the beautiful West coast of Ireland. The stops were often and yet we still had enough time to explore and walk around. Our driver & guide, Ian, was an excellent driver. He was very friendly, told great stories, and answered all our questions. We thought that all the attractions were included with this trip. Know that you'll be paying entry fees at several stops including a 30 Euro/ pp entry to a disappointing whisky tour. The whiskey guide was barely intelligible with a strong French accent and very poor presentation skills. Overall, I do recommend this tour!

Insanely beautiful island. Something for everyone, history, hiking, shopping
A beautiful trip to the west coast of Ireland. The landscape is unique, our guide Stephanie was outstanding.

Great Tour
Our tour guide, Stephanie, was wonderful. She was knowledgeable, accommodating and friendly. Our small group tour ended up very small and we were able to have a lot of input into what we would enjoy spending time doing and what could be cut short.

Great weekend Trip
Did this trip with my mum the weekend of 17th September 2021 with Rabbies. It was a very enjoyable trip, saw lots of beautiful scenery and amazing places like the Cliffs of Moher and Kylemore Abbey. The guide Warren was great, full of amazing history, information and stories. He was a lovely guy, friendly and helpful. The group on our coach were also great. I would highly recommend this trip as you get to see a lot of lovely places in Ireland on a very comfortable mini bus, and the accommodation they booked for us was also first class. Stella and Liam who ran the Consilio B&B could not have been nicer. Also highly recommend.

Our Trip to Ireland
We had a fantastic tour. Seamus was our driver/tour guide. He was a wealth of information regarding Ireland's history, geography, music & topography. He kept us entertained and informed. My wife and I really enjoyed every minute. Superb job Seamus. . . .we will definitely recommend your company to many more!!!

Best ever Tour Service in Dublin
Rabbie's West Coast Explorer - 3 day tour Review (13 - 15 SEP 2019) (and Rabbie's Boyne Valley (16 Sep2019) For starters we were visiting Ireland for the first time and normally we do not do tours. This being said since we were a blank sheet of paper of what makes Ireland special we opted to do the Rabbis West Coast explorer tour. We were more that smitten with the experience. Our tour guide Shamus was a unending resource of inspiring Irish narrative on not only the sites we were taking in, but on all things engaging about the Irish culture and well Ireland itself. We discovered the most spectacular sites from Fiords, to Ruins and landscape vistas that took your breath away. Not only did we enjoy the The Burren, The Cliffs of Moher - evenings in Galway City, Kylemore Abbey, Connemara National Park, Clonmacnoise - and a Distillery tour, Shamus through in many other places that were never listed on the tour guide! All this was done with such ease and laid back style by our amazing tour guide and never rushing us to "...be back on the bus by..." edicts! If you like me have a wonderment about history, ruins, spirituality great food choices or just plain every day life, this is the tour for you! You can't beat the priced and will not ever regret it!

Fantastic short trip!
My mum, sister and I had a very enjoyable trip to the west coast of Ireland. Seamus our tour guide was the perfect host, he was very knowledgeable and we were learnt a lot about Ireland’s history, culture and land as we drove between destinations. The B&B accommodation in Galway was excellent too. We saw a lot in such a short time, it has given us a taste of Ireland and we will definitely be returning. Couldn’t have wished for a better way to explore Ireland and will be recommending the tour to our friends. Thanks!

Excellent tour- 3 Days in Galway/West Ireland
This was a great tour! Our guide was Seamus who was extremely knowledgeable and professional. It had a nice balance of historical sites and natural scenery. We had a good amount of time at each stop and still managed to fit in a lot. The bus was very comfortable. I would recommend it highly!
