- MDMichael· May 11th, 2025The organization and itinerary were excellent. Our time was efficiently used to get the maximum experience of all that was lovely and interesting. Killian was spectacular! He was a skilled driver and excellent teacher of background, connections, and history. He was responsive to the group. He was funny and helped create an atmosphere of group cohesion and identity. We all had fun, and felt like friends very early on. We had the benefit of an excellent group of people and the luck of perfect weather. Best tour I have ever done. Loved the size of the small group tour, and the ease of quickly getting everyone on and off the van.Show more
Trip date: May 2025 - LGLinda· May 10th, 2025The 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 & GordoShow moreTrip date: April 2025
Natasha· April 12th, 2025Loved 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.Show moreTrip date: April 2025- Thomas· March 26th, 2025We 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.Show moreTrip date: March 2025

- CHChristine· February 24th, 2025Our 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.Show moreTrip date: February 2025
- LSLexan· February 10th, 2025I 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).Show moreTrip date: February 2025
- SMSusan· November 30th, 2024The 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.Show moreTrip date: November 2024
- JVJulia· October 26th, 2024The 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.Show moreTrip date: October 2024

Thomas
Asked on May 27th, 2025Is the sheep dog demonstration available on this tour? What hotels are available for this tour? How crowded is the bus when it's full? Is it uncomfortable when full? Truthfully please.
- Rabbie’s Small Group ToursOperator•Written May 2025
As for your questions, we do not offer tours containing any sheepdog demonstrations. We usually book either hotels 3*, located centrally at each location, or B&Bs, for the more cosy, local atmosphere. Both accommodation types are always booked with breakfast included, either cooked or continental. Regarding our buses, we travel in 16-seater Mercedes mini-vans. Personally, I find them quite comfortable for shorter tours, and a bit stuffy on longer trips. However, the good thing about our tours, are the frequent stops, allowing passengers not only to stretch their legs, but also to grab a wee snack, go for a cup for tea, or snap a few stunning photos.

Asked on May 20th, 2025Are there washrooms on your small group coaches?

You should be able to see a few pictures of some of the locations you will visit on the Tourradar website. In terms of accommodation, we have a number of different suppliers we work with on this tour and we book for you depending on availability on your chosen travel dates. This tour spends 1 night in Galway and 3 nights in Killarney. Some example hotels include Ashgrove Guest House, Desota House B&B, Western Hotel, Hyde Hotel in Galway and Kingfisher Lodge, Ashville B&B, Fairview Hotel, McSweeneys Arms in Killarney. Please note we are not able to guarantee you a certain location as it depends on what is available on your chosen dates.

Lisa
Asked on April 10th, 2025Are your prices based on single or double occupancy
- Rabbie’s Small Group ToursOperator•Written 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.

Asked on April 7th, 2025When 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.
- Rabbie’s Small Group ToursOperator•Written 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, 2025Do 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?
- Rabbie’s Small Group ToursOperator•Written 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.

Greg
Asked on March 11th, 2025Do you recommend a B&B stay or a hotel for two adults? Is breakfast included in either?
- Rabbie’s Small Group ToursOperator•Written 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.

Monique
Asked on March 3rd, 2025I have a question. I don't see any hotels listed…do we book them ourselves? We like 4 star accomodations.
- M
Monique
Traveler•Written March 2025What about accommodations.? Do we book them… we need four stars.
- Rabbie’s Small Group ToursOperator•Written 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, 2025What are the difference between Hotel B&B and hotel accommodations? I'm a solo traveler.
- Rabbie’s Small Group ToursOperator•Written 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.
