My husband,three teenage grandchildren and i had a lovely vacation in Ireland this summer. Tina was very helpful with her suggestions and bookings for us, and Goirish provided a driver and van for us. Dennis was our driver, and I doubt you could find a sweeter and more accommodating man in all of Ireland.

My husband and I just returned from a 10 night trip. We flew into Dublin and did a self driving tour staying in many places. This trip was planned in 2019 prior to Covid. We were so excited to finally go and it did not disappoint. Every accommodation was fabulous and the scenery on the drives was amazing.

Our family just completed a weeks tour of Northern Ireland. Go Irish Tours did a fabulous job of planning our trip. Tina had everything ready for us and Pat our driver completed a perfect vacation. We are very comfortable recommending them for any trip to Ireland that you are thinking about.

The Best Tour Companies in Ireland

Ireland . It’s a scenic country full of rolling green hills, photogenic cliffs, impressive castles, cozy Irish pub, friendly locals, and a lot of Irish charm.

I’ve loved every part of my experiences in Ireland .

My first trip was a quick 24-hour visit to Dublin , but, I loved it so much I’ve gone back about four times since. Ireland has a special magic to it that makes every visitor fall in love. (Ok, not everyone, but most people love it here!)

While the cities are incredible and have a lot to offer, Ireland is best seen by car so you can get off-road and visit the small little villages, castles, and parks that dot the country.

However, if you’re like me, and not a fan of driving (especially driving on the left!), the next best thing to driving or just city hopping on buses is going on a tour in Ireland. Given the country’s small size, you can see a lot of it in a little time and a tour can be a good way to pack it all in without the hassle of organizing all the details yourself.

There are lots of tour options here — from walking tours in Dublin to multi-day tours around all of Ireland. Here is a list of my favorite tour companies in Ireland, each of which have something unique to offer:

1. Historical Walking Tours of Dublin

The city of Dublin is such a fascinating place to explore, and it’s full of historical spots that you might just wander past if you’re not with a guide from Historical Walking Tours of Dublin . They’ve been operating tours since 1986 and one of the reasons they’re so good is their guides all have postgrad history qualifications – but also know how to lead a tour with a good Irish sense of humor.

Each walking tour is just over two hours long and they start from the front gate of Trinity College at 11am every day, with an extra tour at 3pm from May to September. They’ll take you to many of the highlights of Dublin like the House of Lords, Temple Bar, Christ Church Cathedral, and Dublin Castle and you’ll end up with a great overview of Irish history. Tickets are 14 EUR.

2. Paddywagon Tours

An Irish born-and-bred tour company that started in 1998, Paddywagon Tours offers both day tours for lots of popular tourist attractions in Ireland as well as multi-day tours ranging from two to nine days long, with accommodation choices ranging between B&Bs and hostels.

If you’re time-pressed and looking for some day trips from Dublin to quickly see a bit more of Ireland, Paddywagon has trips to places like the Cliffs of Moher, the Ring of Kerry, and even up to the Giant’s Causeway and other highlights of Northern Ireland. Costs range from 45 EUR to 65 EUR for these trips. They also run day trips out of other centers like Belfast, Limerick, and Cork.

Paddywagon’s multi-day tours range from 149 EUR for a two-day trip up to 689 EUR for their All Ireland nine-day tour, with backpacker accommodation (or 999 EUR if you want B&B stays). Even though you could easily spend a month in Ireland, given its relatively small size you can actually get a lot out of nine days. If you’re a student they also run some student special trips at even lower costs so keep an eye out for them.

3. Shamrocker Adventures

Shamrocker is a great option for budget travelers looking for multi-day tours of Ireland. Their approach is to try and combine the best of independent travel and group trips. That means they give you choices like different levels of accommodation and you can self-cater when it comes to food. They also have great guides who are passionate Irish storytellers — even their bus drivers have a great sense of humor!

Tours range between three and seven days, with the shorter trips focusing on just one part of Ireland — the south or the west — and costing around 300 EUR per person. Shamrocker’s seven-day trip covers all the main sights like the Giant’s Causeway, Cliffs of Moher, Galway , and Blarney Castle and is 609 EUR for adults and 589 EUR for students.

4. Wolfhound Adventure Tours

Wolfhound Adventure Tours is a boutique tour company run by Trinity College history-graduate Dave O’Connor. Tour groups have a maximum of 12 travelers and tours include some biking and hiking, which are optional but definitely a big part of the fun.

Tours range between five and ten days — the shorter tours give you an option of going to the north to the Giant’s Causeway or heading west to see the Cliffs of Moher and the Aran Islands, both of which are 985 EUR. Wolfhound trips can include kayaking, horseriding, whale watching, and even surfing lessons and are a great choice for anyone looking to get active!

5. Vagabond Tours

Vagabond Tours is an Irish company and offers two kinds of small group tours, Driftwood Tours if you want to take it easy, and Vagabond Tours which include activities like hiking, sea kayaking, and cycling.

Tours range in length from six to eleven days, and in price from 1,550 EUR to 2,900 EUR per person. They have some of the common itineraries such as a Northern Ireland tour taking in the Giant’s Causeway and Belfast and the Giant Irish tour which circumnavigates the country, but they also have a few specialty trips like a foodie tour, an adventure trip which includes a visit to the Skellig Islands, and a tour for history buffs focusing on castles and kingdoms.

Rob Rankin, co-founder of Vagabond Tours, is a huge advocate of responsible and sustainable tourism and the leader of Ecotourism Ireland, and Vagabond Tours has been eco-tourism gold-certified since 2017.

6. Extreme Ireland

Extreme Ireland offer adventure tours around Ireland, with several Wild Atlantic Way trips available, ranging from six to 12 days long. They take small groups (a maximum of 16 travelers) led by skilled guides who have all the skills necessary to help you have a safe and adventurous tour.

Their 12-day trip will take you all over Ireland — it doesn’t just show you the regular sightseeing highlights!. The tour also includes several bike rides, a stint of stand up paddleboarding, hikes along sea cliffs and wild coastlines, kayaking, and surfing. This one comes in at 2,200 EUR while their shorter tours start at 1,100 EUR.

7. Intrepid

An Intrepid trip is always a good option — they’re my go-to multi-day tour company no matter where in the world I’m heading. With small groups (a maximum of 12 travelers for Ireland), carefully-hired local guides, and a relaxed pace, Intrepid tours really can’t be beaten. They offer just one trip in Ireland but it covers all the major sights and attractions, an eight-day adventure that spans from Belfast in Northern Ireland to Killarney in the south-west.

Their Ireland tour will take you through Dublin and Galway and includes sightseeing hotspots like the Cliffs of Moher and the Giant’s Causeway, as well a chance to explore the Aran Islands. Accommodation is in a mix of hotels and hostels, with breakfast included. The tour costs 2,300 EUR per person.

From walking tours to help you understand the history and culture of the great city of Dublin to multi-day adventures circumnavigating the whole of the island, taking a tour in Ireland will make sure you get to know lots of interesting locals and learn more about what makes the Irish tick.

Whether it’s the crazy ritual of kissing the Blarney Stone, exploring the incredible landscapes in Northern Ireland Game of Thrones was filmed, or simply knowing which pub in Galway is the best spot for a Guinness, these Ireland tour companies will help make your Irish experience the best it can be!

Book Your Trip to Ireland: Logistical Tips and Tricks

Book Your Flight Use Skyscanner or Momondo to find a cheap flight. They are my two favorite search engines because they search websites and airlines around the globe so you always know no stone is left unturned. Start with Skyscanner first though because they have the biggest reach!

Book Your Accommodation You can book your hostel with Hostelworld as they have the biggest inventory and best deals. If you want to stay somewhere other than a hostel, use Booking.com as they consistently return the cheapest rates for guesthouses and cheap hotels.

Don’t Forget Travel Insurance Travel insurance will protect you against illness, injury, theft, and cancellations. It’s comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong. I never go on a trip without it as I’ve had to use it many times in the past. My favorite companies that offer the best service and value are:

• Safety Wing (for everyone below 70)
• Insure My Trip (for those over 70)
• Medjet (for additional repatriation coverage)

2. Vagabond Tours

Vagabond Tours offers two different types of small group tours and is one of the 7 tour companies in Ireland that you should consider.

One of them is called Driftwood Tours , which is a guided tour but with the option to veer off the beaten path every now and again.

Such tours included a tour guide, transportation by coach, a variety of low-key activities, and plenty of free time.

Driftwood Tours can last anywhere from 6 to 11 days.

By contrast, the Vagabond Tours are for those who want the ultimate adventure in Ireland. That includes exploring the sights but also getting involved in activities like kayaking, surfing, hiking, and cycling.

The company’s 7-day Magnetic North Adventure Tour is a great example of a high adventure tour.

This one starts in Dublin and takes in many of the popular attractions in Northern Ireland, including the Giant’s Causeway in County Antrim, day trips to Derry and Belfast , kayaking around the Inishowen Peninsula in County Donegal , horse riding on a beach in County Sligo and cycling on the Great Western Greenway in Co.

If you’re interested in taking a multi-day tour with Paddywagon Tours, there are several to choose from, including tours lasting 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 9 days.

Tours fall into two categories, Backpacker and Economy, with the chance to stay in a hostel if you're on a tighter budget or in a B&B/guesthouse if you choose the economy rate.

Accommodation, admission to the various attractions, and breakfast each day are all included in the price.

5. Trafalgar Tours

Like CIE Tours, Trafalgar has been in the travel business for a long time – since 1947, in fact. So, you can expect them to deliver top-quality tours around Ireland and across the world.

While Trafalgar Tours are a bit more expensive, there is also a lot of value that you’ll get from booking a tour with this company.

In addition to the daily breakfast that you’ll get on a Trafalgar tour, some packages also include dinner.

Keep that in mind when deciding which tour company to choose for your trip to Ireland.

You can book anywhere from 6 days to a 23-day tour with Trafalgar.

The company offers a number of tours including guided vacations, private chauffeur-led trips, self-drive tours, locally hosted rail trips and lux self-drive tours.

The Sparkling Gems tour includes transportation (either by train or private vehicle), accommodation, sightseeing and breakfast daily.

7. Gate 1 Travel

Gate 1 Travel is known for its wide-ranging package tours to destinations around the world, including Ireland.

I've personally taken a number of Gate 1 package tours to other countries and can highly recommend them.

You can find lots more Ireland vacation packages with Gate 1 on the company's website .

Tips for Choosing the Right Vacation Package

• Book with a small group, if possible. If you travel in smaller groups, the chances are you’ll get to experience the more authentic side of Ireland . Plus, the tour company may be able to secure a nicer hotel with a smaller group.
• Try not to book tours where you’re frenetically going from one place to another. Instead, opt for tour companies that give you the chance to stay in one destination for two nights, for example, instead of one.
• Check out the location of the hotel you’ll be staying in. It’s much better if your tour company has you stay in accommodation that is located in the middle of a town or city or at least very close to it so that you can do some exploring by yourself.
• Before you pay, check to see what’s included in the total cost. In addition, ask if that price is set once you make a deposit or pay in full.
• If there are some things that you’ll need to pay extra for, make sure that is detailed upfront so there are no surprises.

International travel website recommends Galway over Dublin for those visiting Ireland

A world-leading travel website based in the US has warned tourists who are planning to travel to Ireland this summer to avoid Dublin and consider heading west instead.

The Travel Off Path website published an article called 4 European Capitals To Avoid This Summer And Where You Should Go Instead! and it is very clear from the get-go that the writer is not the capital’s biggest fan.

Today's top videos

Story continues below.

Journalist Vinicius Costa started his piece by stating: ‘Capitals are often considered the unmissable, number-one destination across most European countries.’

‘That is because they have usually been at the forefront of their history and development as states, and they just happen to have accumulated the most cultural value.’

The travel writer continued to explain that, having been to every European country, he had four capitals on his list that he would not recommend visiting in the near future.

Shockingly, the writer placed Dublin in the top spot, urging tourists to avoid the Irish capital if they can.

‘Don’t get me wrong, I am absolutely obsessed with Ireland as a country, but there’s no love lost between Dublin and I: bar a couple of historical buildings, with Dublin Castle and Trinity College , to name a couple, it’s not exactly the most exciting of capitals,’ he said

He explained that Dublin was a ‘rather flat’ city and lacked any major iconic landmarks that you would promptly identify as being Dublin’s—the same way the Eiffel Tour is associated with Paris or London and Big Ben.

He also took a swipe at the iconic Temple Bar , complaining that the minimum spend for a night out is over €90.

‘Luckily for the odd Bohemian out there, like me, Dublin is not Ireland’s only cultural offer, and certainly not the only city where you can dive into the subworld of Irish pub-crawling and sing-alongs: my top pick would be Galway, on the West Coast of Ireland,’ he said.

The travel writer also commented that Galway isn’t exactly cheaper than Dublin, either, stating that the west of Ireland is ‘weirdly pretty expensive’ to travel around. Despite this, he complimented the city’s colourful Latin Quarter, which he describes as being flanked by traditional pubs and bars.

Taking yet another swipe at the capital, he said that Galway feels more authentic, with traditional pubs and bars rather than the ‘godforsaken Temple Bar.’

Locations such as Tigh Neachtain and The Dail Bar received special mention while the size of the city ‘is more compact, far more quaint, and safer than the crime-ridden capital.’

Against the otherwise uniformly tall skyline, Galway Cathedral is a striking example of ‘a marvel of the Renaissance Revival order’. Meanwhile, remnants of Galway’s medieval past can be seen almost everywhere.

While the American travel journalist has a clear favourite, both cities offer plenty, and tourists coming to Ireland should definitely take the time to explore both and the rest of the spectacular sites that Ireland has to offer.
