…could not have been more helpful and responsive!
"Alison could not have been more helpful and responsive. I greatly appreciate her willingness to accommodate our need for a driver just for one day. She also went "above and beyond" to allow us to be able to see Trinity Island, Co Cavan. Tom McHale, our driver was great. He provided lots of good advice and directions. He was timely and courteous."

Ireland Chauffeur was fantastic! – June 2024
Wonderful company/Driver ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Ireland Chauffer was fantastic! Sam was amazing in helping with working out an itinerary that best fit our needs! No matter how many questions or adjustments we made he was courteous and patient!
Siobhan was our driver! She was prompt, personable and had great suggestions for places to stop to just get out and move around or get a coffee or lunch whatever we needed! She had great suggestions for photo ops too! What a wonderful drive! It was so nice to not to have to worry about directions and driving on the left side of the road! If you’re going to invest in a trip like this, I suggest you get a driver! It’s less stressful and you are able to enjoy the ride!

The Best Way to see Ireland ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – June 2024
The experience my family and I had with Ireland Chauffeur Travel was terrific from start to finish. I spoke with Sam and he was very clear, kind and patient and offered some good information that helped me to decide a more precise itinerary for the trip. I sought quotes from several companies and IRT’s rates were competitive. Our driver, Podge reached out to me the evening before pickup to discuss what we were looking for in our travels and to confirm our schedule. By the end of our trip Podge felt like family! He communicated well and he shared so much of Ireland’s history, culture and beauty with us, along with some great personal stories. We had a 6 year old child with us and Podge treated her royally and did his best to make sure her experience was fun and enjoyable. We could never have navigated the road on our own without issues. He delivered us to our “must see” locations. We felt safe in our 9-seater Mercedes Sprinter. It was very clean and comfortable and there was plenty of cold water in the refrigerator for us. We will absolutely return to Ireland one day and will not hesitate to hire this company again and will be sure to request Podge as our driver!
Great Touring Company – We had a phenomenal time! April 2024
Great Touring Company. We had a phenomenal time. Sarah planned an amazing itinerary tailored to my family and our preferences. Tom was a great tour guide and driver. He was extremely knowledgeable in the history of Ireland especially the areas he drove us to and very helpful in getting where we had to be once we arrived at the museum, castle, or gardens. This company is highly recommended.
