What other guests say about our tours and locals

Very Generous in knowledge, time and fun!!

"We have taken a private tour of Dublin with Eamon; we were interested in history, Irish culture, urban stories and recommendations on things to see/do. We had that and more! From the first 5 minutes we felt as if we were touring the city with a friend; we laughed, asked lots of questions, exchanged ideas. Eamon adapted the tour to our questions and needs as we went; we enjoyed his very rich culture, his sense of humor, the personalized exchange we had with him, the generous time and attention he gave us… we never wanted the tour to end. The day after we felt like giving him a call to thank him for all the recommendations he gave us because it was spot on!! Thank you Eamon for the unforgettable experience! "

local Eamon

Don’t miss exploring with Ruairi!

"We enjoyed a wonderful morning walking around Dublin with Ruairi. He introduced us to history, funny stories, and folk lore. His tour is a great way to introduce yourself to Dublin quickly and know where to go while you continue your journey. He was so interesting, knowledgeable and fun, our time flew by too quickly. Great value and so much better than the big tours. "

local Ruairi

Best tour I've ever been on

"I have had the opportunity to take numerous private tours and all of the tour guides were great, but David stood out as the best. My 14 year old son and I had a wonderful time wandering around Dublin with him. David was knowledgeable, professional, engaging, and entertaining. He offered the knowledge and expertise of a local historian along with the experience of being a life-long resident of Ireland. He did this all while delivering the tour like a friend who was proud to show off their city. I highly recommend anyone traveling to Dublin to take a tour with Ryan."

local David

Great time!

"We had a great time exploring Dublin with Ruairi. He had great stories and the food choices were fun and tasty! Would highly recommend!"

guest Eileen

The Best Dublin Tour Guide

"David was an awesome guide!. He was super friendly and welcoming. He was so knowledgeable about Dublin and Irish history and led us on a tour around the city with so many great historical insights. Truly one of THE BEST guide experiences that we have ever had. I would highly recommend David to anyone visiting Dublin. He went above and beyond with our experience giving us local tips on places to visit and restaurants in the area. We could not have asked for a better experience and guide!"

guest Rob

Had a great time!

"Derek was very knowledgeable about the city and the history of Ireland. But it was certainly no boring history walk. We had a lot of laughs and Derek was also able to point out a few excellent pubs so that we could avoid the tourist traps. Highly recommended!"

local Derek

Fantastic tour with Ruairi!!!

"Ruari was prompt, easy to talk to, knowledgeable about the city, the food and the country history (or he was great at making things up! :). We got a good sampling of all and it was the perfect way for us to start our Ireland adventure. He certainly made us feel at ease right from the beginning!"

guest Michelle

Mydie is a doll

"I have had the pleasure of experiencing many fabulous tours around the world. But nothing compares to Mydie, she is a true gem. Her knowledge about the city, her charming personality compares to one. It was a true blessing to meet and enjoy this beautiful city from her eyes. Thank you Mydie."

local Mydie

Fun, interesting and delicious tour!

"We just wanted to praise our guide Ruairi for a really amazing tour. We had a fabulous time with him last evening wandering around Dublin getting so many fun and interesting bits of information about the city and its people. We enjoyed delicious food and drink and were well-prepped for even our other tours later in the week due to Ruairi's knowledge and experience. We cannot praise him enough for the humor, candor and fun. We really felt at home and at ease with him. We highly recommend a tour with Ruairi."

guest Marlina

A great afternoon in Dublin

"Ruairi was a great host for our Saturday afternoon tour of the 10 tastings of Dublin. His knowledge of the city was brilliant with many stories about the locations he took us to. His familiarity with many of the guys in the places we visited meant it enhanced the experience He took his time over the tour, we were never rushed, so it went well beyond the 3 hours. Would really recommend this tour "

Enjoy the Best of the Dublin Like a Local

Private & personalized tours in dublin with a local.

When you hit the road and land in a new city like Dublin, there's an exciting way to dive into its soul: personalized local tours. Forget the typical touristy routes – these tours are like having a local friend show you around all the cool spots.

Imagine having someone who lives and breathes Dublin spill its secrets. That's what local guides bring to the table. They know the hidden alleys, the best bites, and stories that never made it to the guidebooks. Whether you're into munching through food tours, wandering the city's streets, or going off the beaten path, a local guide hooks you up with a private tour that's authentically Dublin.

The best part? These tours are all about you. No herding in big groups or rushing through places you're not interested in. With private tours, you're the boss. Whether it's snapping pics at iconic landmarks, diving into history, or checking out the art scene, the tour is tuned to your vibes at your tempo.

But it doesn't stop at city limits. Day trips let you escape the urban jungle and explore nearby wonders. And if you're just setting foot in Dublin, kickstart tours give you a taste of everything. Think of it as a crash course in Dublin awesomeness, guided by a local who knows the city like the back of their hand.

So, next time you're in Dublin, ditch the ordinary. Grab a local tour and unlock the city's real magic – the stories, flavors, and places that make it uniquely Dublin. Get ready to explore like a local!

A Chara, (my friend)

Éamonn here, your own personal tour guide and driver for your Irish adventure. As a Dublin man born and bred who also has family in the south and west of the island, I’ve always had a great appreciation for Ireland as a whole, our history, and our people.

Over the years I have personally welcomed hundreds of tour groups, made up of friends, families, some with Irish ancestry and often first time visitors on a bucket list trip of a lifetime! I also specialise in ancestry adventure tours for US visitors making the trip back to the old sod.

My high-quality tour experiences are carefully crafted to make the most of your time in Ireland with an emphasis on seeing and doing as much authentic Ireland as possible with each and every unique tour including my four personal pillars:

History, Music, Craic (which is our word for ‘fun’) and a pint (Our beloved pub culture).

It’s important to me that my guests meet locals and have a truly genuine experience when in Ireland and feel the warm Irish hospitality that we are renowned for and that you will go home with a true understanding of our unique and friendly country, and its people.

Hope to see you in Ireland soon!

- Éamonn.

Latest reviews from our guests

Anne has an infectious smile and warm personality. She arrived promptly, walked me around Dublin to see landmarks, architecture and all the while, she infused the tour with fun facts and storied lore. Since she’s lived in Dublin her whole life, she knew things that I never would have discovered on my own. She also had a list of points of interest, recommended restaurants and pubs, and clued me in on some of the words and phrases used by locals. Next time I’m in Dublin, I hope to see Anne again!

Anne was an amazing tour guide! We saw all of Dublin’s downtown sites and it honestly felt like we were strolling around Ireland with a lifelong friend!!

Jason was wonderful. We would highly recommend him to anyone else coming to Dublin for the 1st time. He was flexible, considerate, and had a great sense of humor. Thanks Jason!

The tour was amazing! The guide was very knowledgeable about the city and I took wonderful pictures! Learning about Ireland in this tour was wonderful.

Top 10 Things to Do in Dublin

private tours dublin ireland

Travel Tips for Dublin

Ireland can be visited at any time of the year as the weather is very unpredictable. The summer months from June to August are usually mild with a good chance of sun. While is not anything close to the Mediterranean Dublin sightseeing tours have a lot to offer.

Dublin tours and accommodation can be a lot more expensive that other regions in Ireland. Most of the top places to see and things to do have an entrance fee. Eating out is very reasonable from 5* restaurant to amazing street food.

The weather is unpredictable so always be prepared. Ireland shuts down in terms of traders, shops and pubs (bars) for three days every year Holy Thursday, Easter Sunday and Christmas Day. Use accredited tour guides always.

The summer months from June to August are usually mild and sunny and lovely to visit coastal sightseeing hotspots. Autumn and spring are stunning and picture perfect. The winters are wet and harsh from October to February.

Take the hassle out of trying to find your way around. Being in a new country can often be daunting and a private driver will be able to take the stress out of driving on new roads, ensuring you get to your destinations on time, making the most of your visit.

Drive in comfort and style. An air conditioned, luxury vehicle means that all you need to do is sit back, have a chat and watch the beautiful countryside as it passes by.

Head out at your own pace. With a private driver who knows the lie of the land, you won’t be rushing to fit everything in and things can be slowed down or sped up according to your needs.

Discover Ireland’s hidden gems. When you visit a new country for the first time it’s often easy to miss all those great little sites that make a difference to any vacation. Because you have a personal driver who knows all the best places to go, you’ll be sure to get the most out of your visit to Ireland.

Having a personal driver guide means your tour is customised to your requirements and no day is set in stone. No early mornings, no time limits when visiting places of interest, the flexibility to change plans (within reason of course) and everything taken care of to your satisfaction. Just how a private tour of Ireland ought to be.

Get to the heart of Ireland with your own personal guide , someone who is passionate, friendly and professional. A personal driver isn’t just a faceless individual. They’re open and gregarious and they like to make sure you see this beautiful country in its best light.

Private Tours from Dublin

  • September 18, 2020

Dublin is one of Ireland’s most historic and stunning cities. Premier Chauffeur Drive offers personal and private tours to suit the preferences of every visitor to Ireland. Each tour is customized, so you visit attractions and enjoy experiences that make your visit unique. Your tour of Ireland will be memorable and totally stress- free because all the arrangements, including ground transportation, entertainment, activities, and transfers, are included in your travel package. Here’s a sampling of some of Ireland’s famous attractions that await when you book private Dublin tours.

Dublin Experience

Dublin’s City Centre features winding streets that beckon visitors to explore, trendy shops featuring Irish and international crafts, and of course, Irish pubs. The Northside of Dublin City is the home of attractions including:

  • National Botanic Gardens
  • National Leprechaun Museum
  • St. George’s Church

The National Botanic Gardens features more than 15,000 plant species, a rock garden, arboretum, an alpine yard, and a rose garden. The National Leprechaun Museum is a charming museum that enchants children and adults alike. In the spring and summer, the museum offers a night-time tour for adults that chronicles some of Ireland’s scariest folklore. St. George’s Church, a Protestant church in Hardwicke Place built between 1802 and 1813, is considered one of the most beautiful in the city.

The pub scene draws a lot of visitors to Dublin. The city has more than 700 pubs, many dating prior to the Victorian Era. The Brazen Head claims to be the oldest pub in Dublin, founded in 1198. Another of the oldest pubs is The Palace, which was established in 1823. The Stag’s Head, established in 1780, features comedy nights and live music.

Burren National Park in County Clare features walking trails and the Dromore Wood Nature Reserve. The park is a favorite attraction of history buffs and features O’Brien Castle, built in the 17th-century. The park is open year-round.

The most stunning views of the North Atlantic Ocean are along the Causeway Coast , famous as “The Giant’s Causeway.” Attractions include Dunluce Castle, Carrick a Rede, and Mountsandel Fort. Castlerock is one of the area’s loveliest villages and is famous for its championship golf course. Castlerock features tea shops, pubs, restaurants, and a village green in the centre of town.

The Cliffs of Moher are Ireland’s most breathtaking sight and are a “must-see” on personal tours. The cliffs on the Wild Atlantic Way, the world’s longest scenic route, have dominated the landscape for 350 million years. The cliffs are a UNESCO Global Geopark region and rise more than 700 feet above the sea.

Connemara in County Galway has a long tradition of celebrating Irish culture. The town of Clifden with a population of a little over 2,600 is the capital of the region. Clifden hosts the longest-running arts festival in Ireland, and the famous Connemara Pony shows in the summer.

Donegal’s beguiling islands and beaches are among its most famous attractions. Inishowen, where the Causeway Coast and Wild Atlantic Way come together, features spectacular mountains and beaches. The country roads are the ideal places for quiet horseback rides to enjoy the stunning landscape and colorful wildflowers. The seaports of Killybegs and Greencastle has fabulous seafood, but there are excellent restaurants all over the county. Some of Ireland’s most famous pubs, including The Front Bar at McGrory’s Hotel, are right here in Donegal .

Ireland is a beautiful country with a rich history, ancient sites, spectacular scenery, and attractions to suit everyone’s tastes. Private Dublin tours offer visitors a way to see the sights at their leisure, travel with professional drivers who provide a relaxing and fun experience, and get to know the friendly, Irish people.

Whether you’re planning a golf holiday, want to visit historic sites and Ireland’s famous attractions, enjoy the best of Irish entertainment, schedule any private tours, or arrange day trips , we can assist with your travel itinerary.

  • Stefan Herlein ★★★★★ 3 months ago Did the Northern Ireland highlights day trip from Dublin. Amazing experience. Fantastic day spent learning about the troubles, exploring castle ruins and wondering the giants causeway. Perfect way to spend a day in Ireland! The Company was great, the tour guide and bus driver were professional and so much fun. A little more time at the deluce castle would have been nice, but time was limited. 100% … More recommend this experience.
  • Cari Gray ★★★★★ a week ago Our tours were great! We had guide Una with driver Patrick to Belfast, Dunluce Castle, and Giants Causeway, then guide Kevin with driver Marko to Cliffs of Moher. Ennis, and Bunratty Castle (we chose Ennis because the pics of Galway looked crowded). Our guides were friendly, entertaining, and were very knowledgeable of Irish history and the areas we visited. Our drivers were nice and got us to all … More our destinations safely. We ended up arriving to Ireland a day late and had no problem changing our tour dates. We highly recommend Wild Rover Tours!
  • Dan Jones ★★★★★ 3 months ago This was a fantastic trip. I took the Belfast / Giants Causeway for the day. Our driver Warren, was friendly and drove very safely.

  • Elizabeth Bradley ★★★★★ 3 weeks ago This tour was exceptional. We learned a considerable amount of information from our very sweet guide Rory. He is so knowledgeable. Now I know why they are called the fighting Irish! We had an excellent time at the Cliffs, even though it was very windy. Had a really excellent meal while there and shopping. Stunning views, but the puffins don’t come out till April. Then we went to Galway, did some thrift … More store shopping, ate lunch and had wine at a real Italian restaurant then bummed around. It’s a vibrant atmosphere. The stops are timed perfectly and they are very patient and kind with getting everyone organized. I give this 10/10!
