    The Tour was nothing short of fabulous. Our driver & Tour Guide Dan the Man with a Mercedes Van & a Plan was a fantastic driver, Irish Historian & showed us scenery we would never had seen if we had toured on our own. It was like a Private Tour as there was only eight (8) of us in the group. We were basically family. Accommodations were fabulous in Galway & Killarney. We would sign up for another Rabbie's Tour in the "blink of an eye". Linda & Gordo

    Loved this tour! It was the perfect balance of learning a lot of history and culture, seeing incredible sights, and also plenty of time to wander and explore and just experience the charm of the place. Our guide was excellent and interesting. We were also lucky enough to have incredible weather- 5 days of sunshine! I highly recommend this tour.

    We had a great trip! Our driver Marcus was fantastic and adjusted the trip to take advantage of the weather and interests of the travelers. The small bus was great because we were able to go a lot of places none of the bigger busses will ever get to - felt like we saw some of the less touristy sites in addition to all the big ones.

    Our tour guide ‘Marcus’ made it for us. His encyclopaedic knowledge of everything and everywhere was frankly outstanding. As was his willingness to provide options, advise recommend but not ‘plamas’. Taking us slightly off the beaten track allowed us to see and experience so much more than a normal tourist. There was without doubt a lot of time spent on the modern minibus but that was unavoidable, the only way you could see and experience more would be by helicopter. Thank you Marcus.

    I booked the 5-Day Escape to the South West small group tour that departed on 2-2-25 with Rabbie's through TourRadar. This is the second Ireland tour I have taken in the last 18 months. The tour was awesome! The bus was new and comfortable. The itinerary covered so many of the beautiful and moving areas of Ireland south of Dublin. Markus was our tour guide and he was outstanding! He was kind, funny, patient and very well informed. He told us so much about Ireland and our specific locations. If the itinerary needed to be changed, he was great to include different and very special locations to accommodate the change. I love that he played special music along the way too! We traveled to Ireland to spread my daughter's father's ashes and Markus was so kind to help her select the perfect place for the ashes and play special music for us. I highly recommend Markus and Rabbie's!! There was one negative item. When I tried to book through Rabbie's website directly, I found you can only book your own overnight accommodations, or they will book for you and you pay the hotel directly (but they only provide you with a range for the cost). Because of booking in a hurray and needed to ensure we were able to get a tour that included 2-4-25 (my daughter's father's birthday), I booked the tour through TourRadar. Their website would only allow me to book one twin room and one single room for the three of us even though we could all three share a triple room. This caused more cost. When we check in to the hotel the first night, we were give a triple room and a single room so the single room was a waste. I promptly contacted TourRadar and they responded very quickly. I asked them if they could cancel the next nights single accommodations since we were given a triple on the first night. They said it was too late to cancel and said the triple was probably just given to us by the hotel due to low occupancy. The next hotel also gave us a triple though, so for the entire tour, the single room we paid extra for was wasted. The tour I booked in 9-23, with a different tour company, easily provided us a triple that accommodated three of us in one room. TourRadar's website does not allow for booking three people in one room for Rabbie's tours. This causes the tour to unnecessarily cost more money when, in my experience, triple rooms are easily available in high season (9-23) and low season (2-25).

    The tour was well paced and offered breathtaking scenery, wonderful food and was a great way to experience Ireland. Vinny was a great guide. Funny, kind and always seemed to know his the right about of time at each spot to take things in. Not feel rushed but also keep things moving along. Highly recommend.

    The itinerary was just what we were looking for. Though the days are long, there is a good mix of group, individual and down time. Plenty of comfort breaks. Timing at each stop was just about perfect. We were disappointed to miss Dingle due to bad weather - it would have been nice to have had an alternative plan for bad weather days. Dan "the Man," could not have been better guide or driver. He's a renaissance man that is steeped in knowledge of everything Ireland. We learned so much from Dan about Irish history, geology, ecology, flora and fauna, literature, politics, religion, industry, and culture. When he wasn't educating us, he was entertaining us by reciting Gaelic poetry, singing beautiful Irish folk songs, and charming us with his delightful sense of humor. Dan cast an Irish spell on us - he might just be a leprechaun. Overall we had a wonderful experience and highly recommend this trip and Dan.

    Lisa

    Asked on April 10th, 2025

    Are your prices based on single or double occupancy

    Price / Availability
    Single supplement
    • Rabbie’s Small Group ToursOperatorWritten April 2025

      We can offer you either accommodation options, and the price of the package changes depending on your choice. If you are booking for 1 person we would book you the single room option, and if there are 2 of you then we can book either the double or twin room option. Our prices also change depending on the time of year you want to book.

  • K

    Kelly

    Asked on April 7th, 2025

    When booking the hotel option instead of B&B for accommodations, is transportation to and from provided? Or is transportation to and from just provided for B&B.

    Accommodation
    Transport
    • Rabbie’s Small Group ToursOperatorWritten April 2025

      The driver-guide for your tour will pick you up and drop you off from your accommodation on each day of the tour. This is the same whether you book the B&B or Hotel package.

  • M

    Molly

    Asked on March 19th, 2025

    Do you have scheduled tours? We hope to visit Ireland in the fall. It would just be my husband and me. We were hoping to join a small group. Is this something you offer?

    Group size

    • Rabbie’s Small Group ToursOperatorWritten March 2025

      Yes we offer scheduled tours! These are conducted in 16-seater mini-buses led by our experienced driver-guides. All the Rabbie's tours you see on the Tourradar website follow this pattern.

  • G

    Greg

    Asked on March 11th, 2025

    Do you recommend a B&B stay or a hotel for two adults? Is breakfast included in either?

    Accommodation
    Meals
    • Rabbie’s Small Group ToursOperatorWritten March 2025

      The hotel option is slightly more expensive than B&B option, but both would provide breakfast on the morning of each day. B&Bs tend to be smaller family run guest houses with only a few rooms, whereas Hotels are larger operations usually with a bar and restaurant attached. If you are looking for the highest quality accommodation I would recommend you pick the Hotel option, and if you are looking for a more affordable option you an pick B&B.

      What about accommodations.? Do we book them… we need four stars.

    • Rabbie’s Small Group ToursOperatorWritten March 2025

      If you book through TourRadar, accommodation will be included, you will just have to choose between B&B and Hotel. Unfortunately, we are only able to accommodate in 3 star Hotels, as those are the ones we have allocation with.

    Keith

    Asked on February 11th, 2025

    What are the difference between Hotel B&B and hotel accommodations? I'm a solo traveler.

    Accommodation
    • Rabbie’s Small Group ToursOperatorWritten February 2025

      B&Bs are traditionally small family owned and run properties offering a handful of guest rooms. They are usually residential properties, so they tend to be located on the outskirts of towns and you should be prepared for a 20-30 minute walk to local facilities like pubs and restaurants. It's unusual for a B&B to offer any additional services like concierge, porterage, evening meals or room-service. Wi-fi is usually, but not always available and it's worth bearing in mind that access can be unreliable in more remote locations. If you have difficulty with stairs, please request a ground-floor room as lifts will not be available in this type of property. Hotels vary in size but tend to be larger properties run by a team of staff. They usually have a relatively central location but may be up to a 20-30 minute walk from local facilities. They are often housed in traditional old buildings and bathrooms are always for private use and are typically en-suite.

  • O

    Olivia

    Asked on February 7th, 2025

    Does the B&B have a private bathroom for a couple? Is breakfast included in B&B? Is there luggage storage available near the departure location? Hotels near departure location?

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • Rabbie’s Small Group ToursOperatorWritten February 2025

      B&Bs tend to have en-suite rooms (where the bathroom is attached to the room). Breakfast is included in your accommodation package. I am not sure if this link will work, but you can search for storage spaces using the Stasher website. We depart from a central location in Dublin so there are many hotels nearby.

  • W

    William

    Asked on January 25th, 2025

    I found this online and have some questions. For instance- what hotels would we be staying at and how long will we be at Cliffs of Moher?

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • Rabbie’s Small Group ToursOperatorWritten January 2025

      This tour spends 1 night in Glaway and 3 nights in Killarney. We have a number of different Hotel suppliers in each location. Galway hotels include Ashgrove B&B, Hyde Hotel, Western hotel. Killarney hotels include Fairview Hotel, McSweeney Arms, Kingfisher Lodge. Please note we won't be able to guarantee you one of these locations, it depends on what is available on your chosen travel dates. You have around 1.5 hours at the Cliffs of Moher attraction on day 2 of this tour. Your tickets for this will be included in your tour package.

  • W

    William

    Asked on January 20th, 2025

    Is it possible to have 3-Bett-Zimmer in hotel?

    Accommodation
    • Rabbie’s Small Group ToursOperatorWritten January 2025

      3-bed rooms are not very common in the towns you visit on this tour, you can request a family room and we can try arrange this for you, but it is not guaranteed. The alternative would be 2 rooms, a single and a double.

    • W

      William

      TravelerWritten January 2025

      Is it possible to have the flights from Frankfurt/Germany booked by your organisation?

    • Rabbie’s Small Group ToursOperatorWritten January 2025

      We are not able to book any flight as part of our tour packages. The best place to find good flight deals would be Skyscanner or similar websites.

    Is the accommodation near the railway station? I would like to drop off our luggage rather than carry it around the town.

      Galway is a small town so it would most likely be in walking distance of the train station. If not, you will be able to get a taxi.
