We've certainly taken more than our fair share of private tours in 79 countries and 7 continents…read more As seasoned world travelers, we believe strongly in a top-notch private tour guide. That said, Elegant Irish Tours was impeccably organized and fully met our standards. Admittedly, we do have high standards! Our drivers always picked us up in a timely manner at an easily accessible location. They took us to little-known locations as well as the popular tourist attractions we requested. They even found secret ways to bypass crowds using their experience and local connections. Importantly, they planned strategic bathroom breaks and snack stops to liven long drives (you'd be surprised how many tour guides don't think about timely bathroom breaks). All of our guides were so personable and knowledgeable, and they knew when to impart information and when to let us rest. It's an instinct many guides do not have. Any time we revisit Ireland, we will insist on employing Elegant Irish Tours for our adventures because the experience was absolutely wonderful.

Promised 33-Passenger Bus for Private Tour, Delivered Two Small Buses Instead…read more We booked a private tour with Elegant Irish Tours for a family reunion in June 2026, and unfortunately the experience left us frustrated and let down. We'd originally booked with Butler Tours and paid a deposit but had to cancel (and eat a penalty) when they couldn't provide a single bus for our group of 28. Elegant Irish Tours stepped in and assured us they could accommodate our group with a bus capable of accommodating 33 passengers, plus coolers for refreshments. We were relieved and excited -- this was a family reunion, and being together as one group mattered a lot to us. On the actual day, two smaller buses showed up instead of the one we were promised. This split our group and was a real disappointment for an event centered on togetherness. We called the office right away and got no support or concern in return. With no alternative offered, we had no choice but to continue with our day as best we could. The bigger issue came after we returned home. I called twice and got nowhere, and I emailed Wendy, the supervisor, directly -- I never received so much as a reply. During the sales process, it was all yes, yes, yes. Once something actually went wrong, there was silence. If you're considering this company, be aware that the follow-through doesn't match the sales pitch.

Obviously nobody at the gate or stadium told us to go there and they didn't communicate it in advance. Disgraceful service, it was everyones fault but their own. Avoid this agency.

They've got everything from city breaks to cruise deals. This is also a great company if you're a sports fan because they offer packages to all kinds of sports events. Their holiday packages are amongst the most competitive out there. The staff is super friendly and helped me find the perfect holiday for myself.

I booked my first holiday with them at their branch on Mary St. Whilst this branch is very very handy for people who tend to frequent Henry St/O'Connell St, it is a small branch and can be rather uncomfortable if you happen to be waiting in a queue, which happened me once. However their splendid array of holiday brochures kept me from walking out and also bagged them more business as my Mum booked a holiday from a brochure I brought home :-)

And a finer gentleman you would be hard pressed to meet. He was always right on time, had many facts and stories to tell as we drove around Ireland. He also encapsulated the Irish wit and humor. in short, we have adopted him into our family. We had such a good time. He had some good recommendations on where to eat and what to see. He even played Irish music for us and sang a bit. We were never disappointed. So if you want the cream of the crop, ask for Paul, a true Irish gem...

Ten out of ten. The tour guides at the Somme Valley and Normandy beaches really knew their stuff. The hotel food at the stop-over in Rouen wasn't brilliant. But on the motorway hotels both in France and in the Holiday Inn, near Birmingham, it was superb. For anyone with an interest in WW1 and WW2 it's a must.

My flight arrived early and I managed to catch an earlier bus which was a lifesaver as it was cold and I wanted to get to Galway to see the Xmas Market. The driver was very helpful with my baggage and advising about the walk to the hotel in Galway once we arrived. Everyone on the bus was friendly and it soon filled up with shoppers in the Dublin town centre stop. I didn't use the toilet but there is one and other passengers used it. The return trip was just as good, friendly driver again, and the bus was quite empty so plenty of room to spread out. I would definitely recommend the GoBus service, it is competitively priced, easy to get to in both Dublin Airport and in Galway, easy to book and pay for online and as a solo female traveller it felt extremely safe and friendly.

But at least they do travel deals to Australia that are better than most other travel agents. I went in here recently with a mate who was buying a trip for him and his girlfriend, the staff were peppy and he got a deal but in the back of my mind I felt he might have been able to get a better deal if he had booked himself online. But I think the internet has the answer to every financial dilemma.
