From the stunning sights of the Wicklow Mountain and the Monastic Ruins in Glendalough to the sounds of the local Shepherds whistle guiding his dogs to round up his flock and the taste of Ireland with a pint, fish and chips or beef and guinness stew.

Clayton was a great guide! So much to see on this tour 🤩
Our family had an outstanding experience with Pro Transfers Dublin during our trip. From the moment we arrived, they provided seamless airport transfers and maintained excellent communication throughout our stay, giving us complete peace of mind. They also chauffeured us on a fantastic private tour that included Kilkenny, Glendalough, Wicklow, the beautiful Guinness Lake, and a sheepdog demonstration. Keith or driver and guide was friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating, and genuinely invested in making sure we had a memorable experience. What impressed us most was their reliability and flexibility. They were always on time, easy to reach, and willing to adjust plans to meet our family's needs. The service felt personalized, professional, and surprisingly affordable for the level of attention and care we received. We couldn't have asked for a better transportation partner during our time in Ireland. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for dependable, friendly, and high-quality transportation and private touring services in Dublin and beyond. We would absolutely use them again on our next visit!
Thank you Amy!!! What a wonderful review to receive. Thanks for all your kindness and generosity. It was a great please looking after your needs over the 4 days you were here and we are very thankful for your ongoing support.
I cannot recommend Keith and Pro Transfers Dublin highly enough. There were six of us traveling together—three couples in our late 40s and early 50s—and for two of the couples, this was their very first trip to Europe. My wife and I have visited Ireland multiple times, but this was the first time we decided to hire a private driver and guide. Looking back, it was hands down the best decision we made for the entire trip. From the moment Eddie picked us up in Dublin on Day 1, we knew we were in good hands. We had a detailed four-day itinerary, but both Eddie and Keith helped us maximize every moment without ever making us feel rushed. They took the stress out of navigating, driving, parking, and logistics, allowing us to focus completely on enjoying Ireland. For the next three days, Keith was our driver, guide, storyteller, entertainer, and, by the end of the trip, our friend. Not only did he take us to every destination on our itinerary, but he also introduced us to hidden gems and scenic stops we would never have found on our own. Many of those unexpected stops ended up being some of our favorite memories of the entire trip. The vehicles were spotless, spacious, and perfect for our group. Every day they were stocked with water, chocolates, crisps, doughnuts, and other treats that made the journey even more enjoyable. What truly sets Keith apart, however, is the experience he creates. His knowledge of Irish history, culture, traditions, and local life is incredible. Every drive felt like a personal tour filled with fascinating stories, local insights, and plenty of laughs. Keith also happens to be the undisputed king of Dad Jokes, and there wasn't a day that went by without our group laughing hysterically. One of my favorite memories was Keith explaining the roots and stories behind some of the traditional Irish songs we heard drinking in the pubs the night before. By the following mornings, we were singing along in the van—especially my personal favorite, "The Rattlin' Bog." Throughout the journey, Keith seemed to know exactly where to stop for the most breathtaking views, unforgettable photo opportunities, and authentic Irish experiences. He consistently went above and beyond to make sure our trip was special. By the end of our four days together, Keith didn't feel like a tour driver—he felt like family. Every one of us agreed that he played a huge role in making this one of the most memorable vacations we have ever taken. If you are planning a trip to Ireland and are considering hiring a driver or guide, stop looking and book Keith and Pro Transfers Dublin. It will be one of the best investments you make in your trip. Ireland is an incredible country, but Keith and his team elevated our experience beyond anything we could have imagined. Thank you, Keith and Eddie, for helping create memories that our group will be talking about for years to come. Our Tour: • Day 1 – Dublin to Kilkenny • Day 2 – Kilkenny to Killarney • Day 3 – Killarney to Galway • Day 4 – Galway to Dublin
Wow just wow. For our 200th review we could not have asked for a better or kinder one that you have just left us Bryan. Thank you so very much! From both myself and Eddie it was a pleasure showing you and the rest of the group around. Such a fun bunch of people who know how to have a great time. Thank you for your kindness and generosity. See you next time.
Keith was an incredible tour guide and an all around terrific human being! Kind accommodating, funny (dad jokes a plenty) and willing to answer the many questions we sent his way. Highly recommend this experience!!
Thanks you very much for this kind review. The dad jokes are always a big hit even when they are not very good. Thanks for booking with us at PRO Transfers Dublin and showing the trust in us to make your day so special. See you again next year.
Keith was absolutely amazing! He knew so much about the land and the sites, great energy and felt like a friend. Highly recommend!
Thanks Kira. It was a pleasure to show you around and pass on some of the local knowledge and history. Thanks for being such good company on the trip.
Highly recommended. I’d definitely use this service again! Keith was a perfect driver, very knowledgeable and super friendly. The car was very nice and comfortable and every detail was thought of to make it the perfect day!
Thanks Ken. Your review and indeed business is very much appreciated. Thanks for booking multiple trips with us during your time here in Ireland and for allowing us to be part of your experience in Ireland.
If you’re planning a day trip from Dublin, do yourself a favour and book with Keith. He is an absolute gem of a guy—incredibly funny, full of energy and very thoughtful. We were impressed with how Keith tailored the day to our interests. After we mentioned we loved textiles and crafting, he made sure to stop at the Avoca Mill. It’s the oldest working weaving mill in Ireland, and seeing the traditional process and the antique looms in action was a massive highlight for us. His tours often feel more like a road trip with a great mate than a formal tour. Keith is also known to provide a fantastic spread of snacks that keep us going between stunning viewpoints. You won’t find a better guide or a more authentic experience in Ireland. I have hired him several times and I always enjoy the experience. Thank you, Keith, for welcoming us "home" to Ireland and caring for us all so well!
Thanks Autumn. Its always great to meet new people and new clients. But to have retuning clients is even sweeter, it shows we are doing all the right things. As always thank you very much for your continued support! See you again soon.
This was our second trip with PRO Transfers Dublin, Eddie was our driver this time and I am so glad we booked again. From start to finish, the planning, the communication everything was more that I ever expected. See you for trip 3 next year.
Thanks Jo. We love when a client comes back to us. Show we are doing something right. Eddie is a great driver and one of our most popular. Ill pass on your kind words. See you again next year.
Our guide Keith was fantastic We had a great day with great conversations. Keith is easy to talk with and didn't just ride and listen. The countryside was phenomenal viewing with all of the mountains and lakes. Then Kilkenny was a great walking town with lots of shops and restaurants. Keith made our day enjoyed showing us his country.
Thanks Dant. It was my pleasure to show you around. I am still sad that we could not get your wife on the trip due to her illness but I promise we will get her back to Ireland for sure and show her an amazing time.
We had an excellent experience with Keith, who took care of our transfers to and from the airport. From the moment we met him, he was friendly, professional, and incredibly helpful. He made the journeys smooth and stress-free, and it was clear he genuinely cared about making sure we were comfortable and well looked after. Keith went above and beyond for us, and we couldn’t have asked for better service. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful taxi driver!
Thanks Sam. It was a pleasure to have you and all the rest of the gang in the car for your trip away. See you again next time.
