Our guide, Keith, was hilarious, energetic, and incredibly knowledgeable. He shared so much interesting history and information while keeping the entire tour entertaining from start to finish. The mix of sightseeing, humor, and the unique amphibious experience made this one of the highlights of our trip. If you're visiting Dublin and want a fun and memorable way to explore the city, I definitely recommend doing this tour!

We took the tour the other day and it started out great, a lot of fun. We were really enjoying it…read moreuntil our guide, Keith, decided to start criticizing America and Americans not once but several times and interjecting his political views into the tour ( and he was well aware that we were Americans as he asked us when we boarded and had pointed it out to everyone else on the boat). He also at one point called Catholicism a cult. We were on holiday and we were there to learn about the city and the history. We left our politics at home. My suggestion would be that the tour guides leave theirs at home as well. Insulting your guests and the people who are paying for your tour is not a great idea and it also lowers your tips, just saying. He turned a really good time into a very annoying and uncomfortable experience.

Very thankful for this great experience! We took an all day tour out of Dublin, with the climax…read morebeing the Cliffs of Moher. On the way, we had some bus trouble, which was unfortunate, but I will certainly not blame that on Irish Day Tours. In fact, I want to give them praise for the driver's attentiveness, making sure the passengers were safe, and the company being expedient in getting a new bus out to accommodate the rest of the tour. The Cliffs of Moher are one of the most beautiful sights I have ever laid my eyes on and we were blessed with great weather on this particular day. Sunny and not too windy (our visit was at the end of February but not sure how typical this is for that time of year). I believe we were allotted 1.5-2 hours at the Cliffs which we enjoyed every minute of. The stop in Doolin for lunch was charming and I was impressed with how quickly they were able to serve us. Unfortunately, we were not able to experience Galway on our tour due to the technical difficulties but I appreciate them being mindful of the schedule. I want to give particular praise to our driver and guide Kevin, who was absolutely fantastic in not only getting us there and back safely but is full of fascinating information on Ireland's history. As we continued to learn about Ireland over the course of the rest of our trip, I found myself wanting to ask Kevin his opinion on many topics. Thank you Kevin and IDT!

This tour was a flop! Our tour guide talked for the first 5mins of the tour, then we were on our…read moreown. He sang a song or 2 along the way but he couldn't answer any of the questions asked and barely spoke. He dropped us at stops going in blindly. He was an older gentleman, so I understand the low energy but perhaps time to hang up his hat. As first timers to Ireland, I chose the Dark Hedges/Giants Causeway/Belfast tour because I was infatuated by photos of the Dark Hedges I saw online. I had no idea it looked NOTHING like it. It was really a waste of a stop. Giants Causeway was nice.. great photo op. It's a long walk downhill, then back up. Luckily, there was a bus that operates both ways for £1 (tap cards accepted ). We heard there was opihi in Belfast and found some along the way (we're from Hawaii). Super windy that day so we were getting flown all over the rocks. Only stop on the tour that was worth it. Next stop, Belfast City Centre. The tour guy dropped us off near City Hall with absolutely no direction. He told us about a mall nearby, but that's it. Anything worth seeing was already closed. I really wished he would've gave us more recommendations about what to do, where to eat, or anything worth seeing in the short amount of time we had there. After walking around City Hall, we walked to the mall to use the bathroom, stopped at a souvenir shop, then headed back. Total waste of time, again. 100% DO NOT RECOMMEND! Sadiy, I purchased the tickets for this tour after the price had gone up about €10 from their 2025 prices. Tour was also supposed to end at 8pm but we got back by 7pm because he kept rushing us. Leaving early from stops. Felt rushed the whole time. I feel it was a total waste of money that could've been used elsewhere.

Ever had high tea in a bus, whilst driving around a city? Neither had we, until this trip!…read more We've made a habit of high tea when traveling and this was easily the most unique experience we've had. It was the perfect amount of fancy and a little hillbilly feeling - a unique delightful combination! The bus is from the 60s and is totally decked out to look like a tea room. It's something peppa pig would ride on of and when she visits the Isle! The teas, coffee and juices were quite nice. We enjoyed some "Nosecco" (Non alcoholic prosecco) as part of ours and were quite happy with the purchase. There were half a dozen tea choices as well as Cadbury hot chocolate, which we all liked. Everything had a screw on lid in a cup we got to keep so there was minimal spillage and maximum memories! The selection of finger sammys, tea cakes and accouterments was quite nice. The passion fruit and mango mousse was the biggest crowd pleaser from the desserts, and the scones were as good as advertised- someone's mom taught them well....or the Irish equivalent of bisquick is solid! The tour took us around the city and while we don't remember a ton, we got an idea of some of the main spots to see, and learned that no one know why the doors around town are painted fun colors - perhaps it's just because they're fun! This was a great, unique experience and it is well worth doing by yourself, with friends or with a big group!

Once upon a time, this Faerie Queen was given this lovely experience for her birthed day. We had…read moresuch a good time! We enjoyed a great pot of tea along with several sandwiches, scones, and pastries/cakes. The wonderful hostess, Aleks, made the trip memorable- she is quite a character. We took my Dad and he found it to be "splendid!" Take a break from the hustle and bustle of Dublin and enjoy an afternoon tea in a unique way. Worth it! Book online for reservations! The end.

So I literally just had the worst vacation experience of my life with the Gravedigger Bus Tour. As…read moreyou can see I bought our tickets for tonight's tour back in August. We are only here on vacation for four full days and had things to do every minute. When we go to get on the bus we are told we aren't on "the list" and had to wait. I produced the receipts that I am attaching to this review and was allowed admittance. Right before the tour is about to start we are told we have to get off the bus because again we aren't on the list. We argue that we bought the tickets in August and the tour company did not dispute that. But we didn't make it in to their spreadsheet somehow and they oversold the bus which became our problem. We have planned every minute of our short trip for months and they totally ruined it for no good reason other than they are shitty record keepers. *Then* they say they'll issue a refund in a few days. Wait a minute though I thought I wasn't on their list?! How can the issue a refund if I'm not in the list? I told them I'm not leaving till I'm given cash because I'm either in the list or not. They tried offering us a few other free tours but no way do I trust this company with my money or time again. We were so looking forward to a Halloween themed adventure on my short Dublin trip and they completely ruined it for us and didn't care. They kept saying "it's not our fault." Well it's certainly not my fault. Please don't trust this dishonest and scammy company with your money or time.

Very entertaining and we really enjoyed the tour. Lots of…read morecomedy, jump scares and neat, spooky history about Dublin. Really recommend putting this on your to do list if you ever visit Dublin;)

Ian O. was…read moreour agent and did an incredible job getting us booked into all of the things we wanted to do and see. Our trip started a little rough on the first day due to delayed airplane and the inability to use our phones (Cell supplier issues). Once we reached our first hotel and were able to contact Ian, everything improved greatly. Ian planned a stay at Ballyseede Castle in Tralee on our anniversary and it was so very lovely. Did the entire trip go off without a hitch? no. There were a few bumps (none of which were major)--but when we hit a bump, Ian was there to help us figure it out--Once, the solution turned into an unexpected amazing experience! There are some things I will change next time, but that's a matter of personal preference. Ian did a wonderful job creating a relationship with us in order to give us the best experience possible. I definitely recommend using Go Irish Tours. We will use them again.

We promptly left her a deposit and booked our flights. A couple of days later, Aoife sent over a convoluted payment request. Since then we have not heard back from her. Our group has left numerous messages, emails phone calls etc to no avail. After a little digging, I found out they are owned by a private equity firm. https://dgventureslimited.com/brand/. As you can see, They go by several different domaine names. When we booked, our CC charge was listed as "GoIreland" which has horrendous reviews. I can't believe that 'Go Iceland" can have so many good reviews on Trust pilot (maybe bots?). They have yet to responded to my request to refund my $1000 deposit. We filled a clam with Visa. AVOID AT ALL COST. .

Several hotel…read morestaff along the way commented Little Gem is one of only two tour companies they trust and with whom they will work. I asked why. In ease case it was explained to me some tour companies don't actually have rooms reserved. Some tour companies change drivers - if they have one - right in the middle of your ride. Some tours companies do not maintain vehicles. Etc. Little Gem tours is professional. All the details are perfectly set. Their employees are friendly, knowledgeable!! and helpful. Jimmy Mulrooney was our driver for the week. FANTASTIC. But, the star of the program is Rosie Doonie. Rosie is detail oriented and didn't miss a thing. Use Little Gem & enjoy.

Wonderful tour guides Robbie and Joe were a wealth of knowledge and humor. We had a list of things we wanted to see, but then they filled in the gaps with lots of other fantastic experiences. Loved all of our accommodations and the food was so delicious....especially the dairy products and ice cream. We traveled the back roads and saw scenery that you just have a hard time describing. Thanks to all of you who worked wonders to make our trip so special!! Kerry K., Nicole A, & Michelle S.
