Some of our transport options:
Sedan/Saloon Car | 1-2 People
The Air-Conditioned luxury saloon car is one of the most efficient ways of getting around Ireland. It can easily navigate the smaller Irish roads and can get to your chosen destinations, faster than a coach. We typically provide Mercedes E Class luxury saloon cars or similar to suit your needs.
Mini Van | 2-4 People
The minivan is great for small groups and families looking to see Ireland. These Air-Conditioned luxury vehicles take up to 4 passengers (with luggage) in comfort and style. The elevated seating means you see more of the countryside, while their relatively small size means you still get to travel down those tiny country roads the larger coaches cannot access. We typically provide Mercedes Viano/V Class luxury minivans or similar to suit your needs.
Mini Coach | 5-9 People
For our small groups, we use custom Air-Conditioned luxury 9-seater Mercedes-Benz mini-coaches.

Panoramic tinted windows provide the very best view of the journey and the sights that mark the way.

Driver-Guides
One of the most important aspects of a tour is having the right guide. All of our driver-guides (one person) have a deep love and understanding of Ireland's history and culture.

Nearly half of all of our reviewers mention their diver-guide by name. This is not a coincidence. You can find out more about our driver-guides here .
Irish Airports
The main transatlantic and long-haul airports in Ireland are Dublin and to a lesser extent Shannon . The vast majority of transatlantic flights come through Dublin. There are also airports in Belfast , Cork , Kerry and Knock (Ireland West Airport) but these are for regional (European and UK) destinations only.
The Irish national carrier is Aer Lingus , though many international airlines do long-haul flights into Ireland. For European flights, Ryanair and Aer Lingus are the main two, though again there are countless other airlines operating flights from Ireland to the rest of Europe.
Airport Transfers
Airport transfers come as standard on all our private tours. Your driver-guide will meet you at the airport, to start your Irish tour in style. Please note, that flights are not included in our prices unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Private Tours Vs Scheduled Tours
Tours of Ireland can be broken down into two broad categories: "Scheduled" or "Private". The first thing you should consider when booking a a tour is which one is right for you. There are pros and cons to each type of tour. Lets take a look...
Option 1: Arrange a Private Tour
Private tours are tours that can depart on any date and visit almost any location in Ireland. The major benefit of private tours is that you are in control. You set the pace of the tour, you decide on the locations to be visited and how long you wish to stay there. You typically won't meet other tourers on a private tour but you will have more free time to meet local people. If you don't mind the lack of a built-in social group (of a scheduled tour) there is no finer way to see the island of Ireland. The freedom to go where you want, when you want and at your own pace is the main reason people choose private tours.
Freedom and flexibility
Unique itinerary, less social, option 2: book onto a scheduled tour.
Scheduled tours are tours that depart and arrive on preset dates and adhere to a set itinerary with little deviation. On a scheduled tour you and your group will typically be touring on a bus with people you have not met before. They are an excellent and cost-effective way to see Ireland and great for meeting new people. Though they lack the total freedom of a private tour they do have a built-in social group in the other tourers. The social aspect of meeting new people and the cost are the main reasons people choose scheduled tours over private tours.
Social atmosphere
Fixed departure times, fixed itinerary, which one is right for me.
Often times a person looking for a private tour can find a scheduled tour that fits their needs. It may be worth looking at our scheduled tours to see if there is something that suits you. Our Mini Group Tours (maximum of 8 people) are a great compromise between private and scheduled tours. Researching scheduled tours is also a great way to find some inspiration for what you may want on your private tour. Alternatively, you can get in touch with us and we will guide you through the process of booking a private or scheduled tour just for you.

Testimonials.
Best Tour Company in Ireland – October 2023 We just ended an eight day tour with Colin, our driver and tour guide. I can't say enough positive things about both Colin and Ireland Chauffeur Travel. Everything was first class, from the accommodations to the luxury Mercedes Sprinter we traveled in. Alison and Ellen helped plan a fabulous itinerary and Colin made sure we saw and did anything we wanted. He even managed to find the site of the church where one of our friend's grandparents got married. We told him we would like to see sheep herding and the next day it was the first thing we did. If you are looking for a first class experience, this is the company.
A Magical Trip! No better way to discover Ireland! – August 2023 I will start by saying we had the trip of a LIFETIME with Ireland Chauffeur Travel. My husband and I decided in July to book a trip to Ireland for August (4 weeks before our travel date) with our two young children, and we never could have done this without Ireland Chauffeur Travel, Alma, and all of their incredible staff and experience. Our itinerary was spot-on and we loved their recommendations for places to see and hotels to stay in. Possibly the BEST part of our trip was Toby, our driver/friend, who went above and beyond to make my family and I content during all moments of our stay. Thank you for a magical experience through the most beautiful country. We can't wait to come back!
An Irish experience beyond what we thought was possible – May 2023 We have just completed an amazing tour with Ireland Chauffeur Travel. Alison Lonergan worked with us and put together an itinerary that covered everything we could have hoped to see and experience. Our guide Siobhan Morrissey, was more than we could have hoped for. Her extensive knowledge of the country and her ability to share it with us was impressive. She went out of her way to ensure we saw everything possible and showed us many hidden gems. She was also incredibly helpful in dealing with the logistics of wheelchair travel. She is incredibly kind and patient. These two women gave us an Irish experience beyond what we thought possible. - The McKim Family, May 2023
The whole experience was absolutely incredible – Jan 2023 We were a family of nine traveling together. This was a beast of a trip to plan & execute, and we could not have done without Alma and her crew. The whole experience - our initial phone call, building the itineraries, bookings (lodging and restaurants), our drivers, making changes on the fly, and even the last drop-off at DUB - was absolutely incredible. I highly recommend Alma and Ireland Chauffeur Travel. -The Murphy Family, Jan 2023

Meet the Owner and Principal Driver
Colm McGuinness
Proudly exploring Ireland one tour at a time.
For the past ten years Colm has been a chauffeur driver, providing a personalised, professional and reliable service for many tour operators. He now runs his own small family run chauffeur business, Private Driver Ireland.
With a special interest in archaeology, world history and politics, Colm is not only our principal private driver for tours, he also has detailed knowledge of every county and town in Ireland, making him the perfect person to act as your host and guide.
Regularly described by clients as ‘a perfect gentleman’, he knows the highways and byways, and he knows the most scenic routes, whether along the Wild Atlantic Way stretching for over 600 km along of the wild west coast of Ireland, Ireland’s Central Lakelands, or the cities and towns of Ireland’s Ancient East with their incredible archaeology and history.
If it’s golfing in Ireland you’re interested in, Colm as a keen golfer himself can provide you with advice and tips on visiting Ireland’s best parkland and links golf courses and how best to plan your golfing trip.
Favouring a comfortable Mercedes, he is happy to welcome you at Dublin, Knock, Shannon or Belfast Airports, and take you on a private tour of Ireland that you’ll never forget.
His west coast tours are wonderful – with areas on the Wild Atlantic Way from Blarney, and west Cork to Killarney to the Burren, Connemara, Sligo and Donegal being among his favourites.
How We Can Help
From private tours, to golfing and airport transfers, Private Driver Ireland will provide you with a friendly, reliable and professional chauffeur service.
Sightseeing Tours
Golfing tours, airport transfers, a great week.
Driver Colm McGuinness was the perfect chauffeur for our girls’ trip (mother, two daughters, granddaughter) from Dublin to Galway, with stops in between in Glendalough, Killarney, the Black Valley, Dingle Peninsula, Portmagee, Cliffs of Moher, the Burren and Connemara. A great driver, but an even better tour guide. The girls said, “When Colm says get out and look, you should get out and look.” He helped us experience Ireland in ways we could not have anticipated. From the side trips to check out golf courses, to the pub stop after our Saint’s Path trek to watch the finish of a hurling match, and other moments of kindness, humor, gentlemanly regard, Colm added greatly to the fond memories we will carry.
The vehicle was top notch (a Mercedes van) and Colm’s command on the narrow roads gave us confidence throughout. A great way to travel!

Driver-Guided Tours of Scotland & Ireland
Explore the Celtic Cousins with Your Own driver-guide
Scotland and Ireland are two Celtic cousins with just a short ferry crossing between them. On your private driver-guided tour of the two nations, your guide will discuss the historical and cultural ties that have bonded them together, as well as the unique characteristics that make each nation so distinct and celebrated on the world stage.
With so much to experience and see between the two nations, it can be hard to decide how to plan your vacation. Our complimentary itinerary service means that you can simply tell us when your flights arrive and depart, and what type of location or activities you are interested in, and we will provide you with a full itinerary packed with iconic sites as well as lesser-known hidden gems that reveal the true nature and authenticity of the Scots and the Irish.
Most popular locations on combined Ireland & Scotland tours

Cliffs of Moher
Rising over 200 meters high and spanning 8 kilometers along the wild Atlantic coast, the Cliffs provide stunning views of the Aran Islands with the ocean crashing below. Your driver-guide will be able to inform you of all the folklore and myths that surround this incredible testament to the beauty of nature.
You’d be able to pay a visit to the magnificent Glencoe Mountains for the day from a variety of starting points in Scotland.
The areas around Glencoe have hikes suitable for a wide range of activity levels so don’t worry if you don’t want to climb up to the top – we’ll still manage to get to some incredible viewpoints, particularly of the ‘Three Sisters’ scenic area.
Visit a jewel in the crown of the fabulous Causeway Coast: Giant’s Causeway. A site of World Heritage and therefore ranked alongside Mount Everest and the Giant Redwoods of California for its importance to humankind. Welcome to one of the most amazing places on the planet; The Causeway comprises around 40,000 mostly hexagonal basalt columns descending gently into the sea. Depending on who you believe, the stones were formed either by an underwater volcano’s geological actions or by an Irish giant named Finn McCool, who lived and battled along the north Antrim Coast. However, it was formed, it is a fabulous way to spend an hour.
The famous Glenfinnan viaduct carries the railway to Glenfinnan Station across a 1,000 ft span, 100 ft above the ground. The Jacobite steam train runs from here to Fort William and Mallaig in the summer months.
The filming of the second and third Harry Potter books, Harry Potter and the Chambers of Secrets and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban took place in this area with the Hogwarts Express calling at Glenfinnan!
Ring of Kerry
The Ring of Kerry is the ring road that follows the coastal contours of Kerry’s Iveragh Peninsula. The Ring is one of Ireland’s most famous circuits, but it’s much more than a simple driving route, the Ring of Kerry is an iconic destination wrapped in stunning visual history.
This scene-stealing route beginning and ending in Killarney takes in all the big hitters – Moll’s Gap, the Torc Waterfall, and the Gap of Dunloe are places you will see, but really, the route itself is so much more than the sum of its parts.
Isle of Skye
Take a day trip to the magical Isle of Skye with your very own private driver-guide. Skye is filled with stunning natural views, quaint towns, beautiful beaches & fascinating history. You could spend weeks touring the Island’s sites, including The Fairy Glen, The Old Man of Storr, Kilt Rock & Mealt Falls Viewpoint, Skye Museum of Island Life, Dunvegan Castle & Gardens or even a wee taste of our local spirit at the Talisker Whisky Distillery!
Whatever your tastes or interests, our guides will plan the perfect day trip for you and your group!
A good many facts make Loch Ness stand out among other Scottish lakes. It is the second-largest Scottish lake with a surface area of 56 km 2 (the largest being Loch Lomond), but due to its great depth, it is the largest by volume in the British Isles. Its deepest point is 230 m, making it the second deepest loch in Scotland after Loch Morar. It also contains more freshwater than all the lakes in England and Wales combined!
Take a tour around the Loch’s vast banks or perhaps a private cruise on it’s blue waters – get in touch with our guides today to start building your perfect tour!
The iconic Kylemore Abbey was built in the late 1800s by Mitchell Henry MP, a wealthy businessman, and liberal politician, who, inspired by his love for his wife Margaret, and his hopes for his beloved Ireland, created an estate boasting ‘all the innovations of the then modern age’. Kylemore is now owned and run by the Benedictine community who have been in residence here since 1920.
The famous Eilean Donan: a small tidal island where three sea lochs meet, Loch Duich, Loch Long, and Loch Alsh, in the western Highlands of Scotland. A picturesque castle that frequently appears in photographs, film, and television dominates the island, which lies about 1 kilometer (0.62 mi) from the village of Dornie. Since the castle’s restoration in the early 20th century, a footbridge has connected the island to the mainland.
The castle was founded in the thirteenth century and became a stronghold of the Clan Mackenzie and their allies the Clan Macrae. In the early eighteenth century, the Mackenzies’ involvement in the Jacobite rebellions led in 1719 to the castle’s destruction by government ships. Lieutenant-Colonel John Macrae-Gilstrap’s twentieth-century reconstruction of the ruins produced the present buildings.
