Highly recommend Wild Rover Tours! We did two tours, our first tour was to Wickelow and Kilkenny, amazing day even though it was pouring and cold. The sheep farm was an absolute highlight as well as Kilkenny, our guide Dave was so much more than just a guide, he is a gem, he even sings traditional Irish songs :) Our driver Lisa was super safe and courteous. Tour was amazing!
On day two we went to the … More Cliffs of Moher and Galway. It is quite a drive, especially in the morning but our guide David and our driver Stephen were absolutely great! David shared a lot of Ireland’s history with us, he is a lot fun and really funny too. He kept us entertained. We are very happy we chose Wild Rover for our tours. 1000% satisfied 🙂

My mom and I did the bundle with three trips. Our first trip to Cliffs of Moher and Galway was with Dave & John, our second and third trips (Kilkenny/Glendalough and Belfast) were with David & Krishna.
We had a really great time exploring with both of our guides; they were really fun & outgoing and definitely made our first trip to Ireland worthwhile.
The trips themselves were also great! … More Of course, doing three trips three days in a row was heavy, especially on my mom, so if I would change anything, I would just space them out a bit more. There was always something to do in each of our stops. We are big fans of more self-guided tours, but we took a chance on the Black Taxi tour in Belfast and I'm so glad we did. Ireland has such a rich history so being able to hear about such a significant part of it through someone who experienced the troubles made so much of an impact.
Overall, I'm really glad we found this tour company! The coaches were well taken care of and we felt safe through all of our journeys. Additionally, our guides were very well-informed and made great suggestions for places to hit up in Dublin and in the cities we visited!

I had an amazing experience on the Cliffs of Moher and Galway tour today with Niamh as our guide and Paolo as our driver. Niamh was absolutely fantastic — she shared so many great nuggets of history, culture, and local stories throughout the day, and her energy made the trip even more enjoyable. Paolo was an excellent driver, keeping everything smooth and safe the whole way.
The tour was well-paced, … More informative, and genuinely fun. My only recommendation for future travelers: if you’re planning to visit Galway anyway, consider doing this tour as a one-way trip and letting them know ahead of time, so you can spend extra time exploring Galway and take the train back another day. It’s a great way to make the most of the experience.
Highly recommend this tour, especially with Niamh and Paolo!

Kevin and Joe were great! We don’t often do bus tours but chose this one and absolutely loved it. Cliffs of moher was beautiful and we were there the perfect amount of time to do everything. Kevin shared a ton of interesting facts and kept us all very engaged during the drives. Galway was also wonderful. Highly recommend!

The tour was very well organized and truly enjoyable. It was interesting, informative, and a great way to discover both the Giant’s Causeway and the city of Belfast.
Darren and Una were excellent guides: very kind, friendly, and always helpful throughout the experience. During the Belfast walking tour, Aaron accompanied us and gave detailed and engaging explanations about the city’s main points of … More interest. Highly recommended!

We did the Kilkenny, Wicklow Mountains & Glendalough tour today with Wild Rover Tours, and we enjoyed it so much!
Our favorite part was the sheep farm - watching the sheepdog Spot gather the sheep was amazing and really fun to see.
Our guide John was outstanding. He has a great sense of humor, explained everything clearly, and made the whole day interesting. He also had a very personal approach … More to each of us.
And our driver Pete did an incredible job on the Irish roads - so smooth and confident, it was impressive.
Thank you for a wonderful day! We would definitely recommend this tour to others.

The high score is more than deserved.. apart from some communication issues with the booking (they should send a text message instead of calling) for the confirmation because I was at a concert and couldn't respond.. I almost missed the tour. But other than that the day was made up for in a big way. Our driver Marcel (I'm not sure if it's spelled like that) was very cheerful and kind. … More An excellent guide, he made us feel safe. Our guide Steven was the best. He was truly very nice. Kind and he really engaged us with his passion for history. Very willing to listen to our needs. He was an angel. I highly recommend this trip. The place was stunning. Magical. No disappointments. I will definitely return to Dublin and book another adventure :)

Booked the *Dublin to Cliffs of Moher, including Wild Atlantic Way and Galway* tour through Viator.
We had such a great experience! Richard was a fun tour guide and the views were spectacular (despite the wind 💨). Galway was also a fun time! I really liked the entire day’s itinerary and we even got to see a donkey - Fred! I definitely recommend this tour. Thanks for the unforgettable memories!

Did the Belfast, Giants Causeway tour today and it was jam packed! Fabulous scenery all along the coast. The Titanic museum was spectacular. Maurice, our guide was full of great Irish information, stories and jokes. Paulo, our driver was excellent in the coastal wind storm…it is December after all. Lovely pub lunch at Giant’s Causeway. Great value for the money…but a super long day that started at … More 7am and ended at 8pm.
